THE TIME HAS COME. WE CANNOT WASTE TIME click the green flag for the ultimate vibe song: Gangsta's paradise // 2wei INTO THE WORLD OF MY BOOKKKK DO NOT STEAL MY NAMES OR IDEAS OR ANYTHING ELSE OK THAT'S NOT COOL HAVE SOME DECENCY --- CONTEXT: They're at the prison visiting their fellow gang member. who helped them but also beat vale almost to death and allowed [REDACTED] to get killed. “Daavy stop—“ My words are cut off when Vale lunges towards the glass. I grab his arm and yank him back to me. He grunts and shoves me away from him. I crash into the wall with a cry. Pain shoots through my head, and my ears ring and feel the back of my head. Hot and wet, my hand pulls away soaked in crimson. Vale’s eyes widen as he realizes what he’s done. “Like father, like son. Abuse, violence, it all runs in your blood. Whether you like it or not, your father’s blood runs through your veins.” Daavy laughs at the sight of Vale's clenched fists. Shivering, I slowly make my way toward Vale. --- CONTEXT: They're locked up obviously, by the gang they were once a part of Vale turns towards me, and cups my cheek in his hand. “Hey, we’re going to be okay, we’re going to get out of here alive.” Mehri nuzzles against my side, and begins to cry. “Sylvie and her son could die! Because of me.” Vale shakes his head. “Sloane, look at me,” he tilts my chin up to meet his eyes. “You can’t put that on yourself. It’s not your fault. You’ve done all you can.” “But they have the formula!” I know there is more he’s not telling me. They have a plan, a plan I’m not in on. They wouldn’t have just handed the formula to Wayamar like that. Suddenly Vale presses me against the glass and presses his forehead against mine and a breath escapes lungs. My heart beats so loud there’s no way Vale can’t hear it. “They don’t,” his words are barely a whisper, so quiet I know the microphones won’t pick up on it. I feel his breath against my face. To the cameras, it must look like we’re kissing. My face heats up. Vale doesn’t expand on his words. He pulls away, but takes my hand. I can see it, but not feel it–my entire body is numb. Another tear leaks from my eyes. --- The rest of these are just quotes but enjoy " Life is too brutal to venture alone " " memories are temporary, yet abuse is eternal " " I hate you. I know.
