It was lovely to lie in the warm sun and air. Some of the cold feeling in her heard seemed to melt away.

16: Will
I yank open the door and there she is. Live.
Stella.
She holds the pool cue out, the tip of it touching my chest, her full eyebrows rising in challenge. “Five feet apart. Deal?”
Exhaling, I shake my head, her speech from the video already making me want to close the space between us and kiss her. “That’s going to be hard for me, I’m not gonna lie.”
She looks at me, her eyes intent. “Just tell me, Will. Are you in?”
I don’t even hesitate. “So in.”

2: Will
She rolls her eyes, clearly not entertained by me. “You letting your friends borrow your room for sex isn’t cute.”
Ah, so she’s a real goody two shoes.
“Sex? Oh, heavens no. They told me they would be holding a slightly rowdy book club meeting in there for the better part of an hour.”
She glares at me, definitely not amused by my sarcasm.
“Ah. So that’s what this is about,” I say, crossing my arms over my chest. “You have something against sex.”
“Of course not! I’ve had sex,” she says, her eyes widening as the words tumble out of her mouth. “It’s fine—”
That is the biggest lie I’ve heard all year, and I’m practically surrounded by people who sugarcoat the fact that I’m dying.
I laugh. “ ‘Fine’ isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, but I’ll take common ground where I can get it.”
Her thick eyebrows form a frown. “We have nothing in common.”
I wink, having way too much fun pissing her off. “Cold. I like it.”

gift of the broken.
"I’m okay" has become my favorite lie
and my smile is usually a mask
that hides the truth in what I feel
I’ll say nothing because
you’ll think I’m weak
I’ll say nothing and let
my silence speak
DAHA İYİSİNİ YAZAMAZ DEMİŞTİM... YAZMIŞ YA.
I open the dishwasher and lean into the cloud of steam that floats out of it. I wish I could crawl in and curl up between a bowl and a plate. My stepmother Jennifer could lock the door, twist the dial to SCALD, and press ON. The steam freezes when it touches my face. “I’m fine,”
I lie.

Never Stop Learning
“You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake
at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only
love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or
know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only
one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags
it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never
alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of
regretting.”
Love is a lie; love of every shape and size, except perhaps the love of an infant for its mother. That's real. At least until the milk dries up.
And that's when she put her book down. And looked at me. And said it: "Life isn't fair, Bill. we tell our children that it is, but it's a terrible thing to do. It's not only a lie, it's a cruel lie. Life is not fair, and it never has been, and it's never going to be."
