The song above is 'How Do I Breathe' by Mario and I felt it was somewhat relative to this chapter :P

Quinn's P.O.V.
So be honest with me when I ask you this: Who is the person that scares you the most? Little kids would likely answer with 'Freddy Krueger' or even 'Jason' for that matter. Teenagers, though, are more probable of answering with 'my Mother'. 'Cause seriously, who isn't scared of that? But alas, I had a non-existent mother and father, so in turn, the scariest person to me was?
My twin brother, Dante Jones.
Now that is some scary shit.
Remind me never to anger my brother again. He may look like the nicest out of the two of us, but if you light his fuse, be prepared for the explosion.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing to Lia!?"
See? Point proven.
After being dragged down the glass staircase and thrown onto the brown leather couch, I avoided my brother's eyes and ran my hands over my face stressfully. Even I didn't know what I was doing. "I don't even know, Dante," I muttered, rubbing my eyes of the memory of Lia's lips almost touching mine.
"God, you're so daft, Quinn! We disappear as soon as she finishes our book," he gestured to the both of us before pointing upstairs. "Do you want to hurt her?"
In a fury I jumped to my feet, my hands balled into fists at my sides as I yelled out, "Of course not! I would never intentionally hurt her!"
"Then why are you doing this to her!?" he shouted back, and I groaned in frustration. Tugging on my hair, I began to pace back and forth. Then I finally snapped.
"I'm drawn to her! Ever since we became real people and not just a pair of fictional characters, I want to be around her all the time. I don't know what's wrong with me! I don't know why I almost kissed her! I just-" I exhaled roughly and slowly sat back down on the couch, my head in my hands as my eyes began to water from all my vented up emotions.
I hated it. I hated falling for her when I know I won't be around. She'll finish the book at the end of the year, and I'll be out of her life for good. Non-existent. Unreal. She'll forget I was even here in the first place. Lia will move on in her life, meet someone, fall in love, start a family, grow old.
All without me in it.
But the thing was, I didn't want anyone else to have her. Call me possessive and selfish all you want, but at this point in time, I was pretty damn sure I was deeply and madly in love with Liana Summers.
\./
I avoided Liana the rest of the day after coming to terms with my self-proclaimed love for her. She could never find out about this. Never.
The girls left not soon after mine and Liana's interrogations. Liana's parents and grandfather got home later on and found me still sitting frozen on the couch, but didn't ask me what had happened, thank God. Winter, though, had simply looked at me, huffed in annoyance, and headed upstairs, most likely to either Cyrus or into Liana's room. I was betting on the latter, though.
Sighing in resignation, I trudged my way up the stairs and headed to the guest room I shared with Cyrus and my brother, but stopped in front of her door. Leaning against it lightly, I pressed my ear against the wood of the door and listened for any movement within her room. I heard her voice, "'He looked at her with the utmost care in his shining green eyes that resembled emeralds, or even the lush green of the forest that resided beside the school. But Zoe knew her feelings for him would only expand the more time they spent together. So there was only one way for her to guard her heart. And that was to stay away from him at all times, no matter how much it hurt her to do so.'"
She paused, and I sighed, my forehead pressed against the warm wood of the door, and waited patiently. It was silent for several long moments before I heard her sigh and shuffled around her room. I stepped back slightly until I heard her voice again, "I don't know what to do, Winter." Ah. So I was right about the dog going to her room then. "Steph warned me to stay away from him, but I-I just can't help myself, I-I think I love him," I heard her finally whisper, and couldn't help the enormous grin that broke out on my lips as I leaned back against her door and sighed in content.
She loved me. And I loved her. Now I would never let anyone take her away from me.
Still grinning like a dumbass, I began walking down the hall to my shared room when I suddenly gasped for breath, falling to my knees as I clutched at my chest. I couldn't breathe. I was suffocating. What was happening to me? My breathing had become ragged and my knees buckled until I was flat on my back, still gasping for air. I was choking.
"Quinn?" I heard her voice nearby along with very faint barking behind her. "Quinn!" She was kneeling beside me now as her hands frantically searched my body for whatever the cause of this sudden attack was. "Cyrus! Dante! Somebody get some help!" she screamed in desperation, her hands clenching the material of my shirt over my throbbing heart. I felt something wet drop onto my cheek. She was crying.
Grasping for her hand on my chest, I gripped it tightly and she squeezed back just as hard. "Lia," I managed to whisper through a mouthful of choked air. "I feel the same way about you," I continued, and that just made her cry harder. I closed my eyes from the pain as I struggled to breathe.
"Somebody HELP!" she screamed again, and I heard several rushed footsteps before I lost consciousness, but not before I opened my eyes to look over at Winter who was barking at air. But when I looked closer, I glimpsed a woman with flowing white hair and electric blue eyes. She was smiling down at me. I frowned.
Why was she so familiar to me?
Before I could think any further on that train of thought, I blacked out.
