They Both Die at the End

"Having the chance to say goodbye before you die is an incredible opportunity, but isn't that time better spent actually living? Maybe I would feel differently if I could count on people showing up to my funeral. If I had more friends than I do fingers."

"Death is inevitable for everyone and it's absolute for me today."

"No one should spend their last hours second-guessing people."

"I don't know how to do this. No one gives you lessons on how to brace everyone for your death, especially when you're seventeen and healthy."

"I read our love wrong, but that doesn't mean I don't love you. You were there for me when I needed to act out and be angry, and you made me happy when I was tired of hating everything. Nobodies can't make someone feel all of that."

"You're not a big nothing, but you can step your damn game up anyway."

"It's mad twisted, but surviving showed me it's better to be alive wishing I was dead than dying wishing I could live forever."

"But no matter what choices we make-solo or together-our finish line remains the same... No matter how we choose to live, we both die at the end."

"I don't become fearless just because I know my options are do something and die versus do nothing and still die."

"I'll be brave, and I'll be okay. I love you from here to there."

"Too bad life doesn't allow us to turn its gears, like a clock, when we need more time."

"I was raised to be honest, but the truth can be complicated. It doesn't matter if the truth won't make a mess, sometimes the words don't come out until you're alone. Even that's not guaranteed. Sometimes the truth is a secret you're keeping from yourself because living a lie is easier."

"Dad taught me it's okay to give in to your emotions, but you should fight your way out of the bad ones, too."

"But dying is screwing with my day and there isn't anything I can do about it."

"And I really am sorry. Not because we wasted money, but because we wasted time."

"You're right. You're totally right. It's all going away, everyone and everything is dying. Humans suck, man. We think we're so damn indestructible and infinite because we can think and take care of ourselves, unlike pay phones or books, but I bet the dinosaurs thought they'd rule forever too."

"We never act...only react once we realise the clock is ticking."

"That love is a superpower we all have, but it's not always a superpower I'd be able to control. Especially as I get older. Sometimes it'll go crazy and I shouldn't be scared if my power hits someone I'm not expecting to."

"This isn't some dream and we won't wake up from this."

"Please promise you won't go dying before me. I can't see that."
"Only if you promise the same thing."
"We can't both promise this."
"Then I'm not promising my promise." Mateo says. "I don't want you to see me die, but I can't watch you die either."

"There has to be more to life than imagining a future for yourself. I just can't wish for the future; I have to take risks to create it."

"She says everything in this hug-every thank-you, every I-love-you, every apology."

"I want us to have history, something longer than the small window of time we're actually sharing, with an even longer future, but the dying elephant in the room crushes me."

"But what I've gotten out of him in one day is more than I feel like I ever deserved."

"Promise me you'll be okay."
"It would be a huge lie."
"Please lie to me." I say. "Come on, tell me you'll keep moving."

"You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships. Some you'll discover you should put behind you. Others are worth every risk."

"But if for some reason this plan doesn't work, we need to promise to find each other in the afterlife. There has to be an afterlife, Roof, because it's the only thing that makes dying this young fair."

"But because we're about to die, I want to say it as many times as I want-I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you."

"You didn't just keep me alive, you made me live."

"Maybe it's better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs."

"I talk to the boy in the body bag about all the things we said we'd do together, but he can't hear me."
