"Once the rain starts falling it doesn't stop just because you tell it to. I guess it stops in its own time. My tears, like the rain, kept falling as I made my way home through blurry vision. In truth it's difficult to describe a broken heart. All I know is that unimaginable pain-this throbbing, sharp ache that almost incapacitates you-centers in you chest and radiates out. But there's more than the ache. Denial lodges itself in your throat, and that lump is its own kind of pain. The affliction of heartbreak can also be found in a knot in your stomach. The knot contracts and expands, contracts, and expands, until you're pretty sure you're not going to be able to hold down the vomit."
-Jocelyn Pg.263
"Jealousy is a horrible thing-the pain of it is almost as consuming as heartbreak"
