With Love • Embry Call (Editing)

Disclaimer & Playlist

Disclaimer! All the characters besides Delilah. Austin & Becky belong to Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Saga Franchise. Most of the plot line also belongs to them.

Also fair warning this book contains mature themes such as language, sensitive topics (cancer & terminal illnesses), mental health, sexual themes & other topics.

This book takes place primarily during New Moon & Eclipse, however the beginning takes place during Twilight, but it's more of a back story.

I'd also like to state that I'm sorry if the timeline is off. I tried to keep the timeline as close as possible. There might be a few song references that don't match the timeline, but most of the plot does.

Also! I would like to say that I am not an expert to when it comes to terminal illnesses. I've done as much research as I can on the illness I've given Delilah and I'm going to try to portray it as accurately as I can from the information I've read and have looked into.

If I Die Young - The Band Perry
"Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother.
She'll know I'm safe with you when
She stands under my colours, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby."
"I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand.
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever.
Who would have thought forever could be severed by, the sharp knife of a short life."

Tired - Beabadoobee
"You haven't been good for long."
"Maybe it's time to say goodbye
'Cause I'm getting pretty fucking tired"
"'Cause I've been eating less all day."

Get It Together - India.Arie
"Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else.
Didn't even want to admit it to yourself.
And now your chest burns and your back aches."

I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
"I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up"

Cold Blood - Bruno Major
"I'll tell you that I love you while I lower you six feet into the ground."

Session 32 - Summer Walker
"I'm sending you one text at a time
I know your by your phone
So boy pick up your line."

Sincerity Is Scary - The 1975
"You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
You lack substance when you say
Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
It's just a self-referential way
That stops you havin' to be human."

listen before i go - Billie Eilish
"If you need me.
Wanna see me.
Better hurry.
'Cause I'm leaving soon.
Sorry, can't save me now. Sorry, I don't know how. Sorry, there's no way out, but down."
"Call my friends and tell them that I love them and I'll miss them, sorry."

Take Care Of Things - Cavetown
"I'm gonna take care of things.
There's things I need to sort out.
Im gonna take care of things.
'Cause they're not where I need them right now."

Born To Die - Lana Del Ray
"Why, who me, why?
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to your finish line
Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take."

The A Team - Ed Sheeran
"But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us."

Youth - Daughter
"And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun."

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
"Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven."

ARE YOU OKAY? - Daniel Caesar
"Are you okay? Been staring at your face from across the room now.
You seem out of place.
It's a new day. The people know your name. They smile when they see you.
So why the long face?"

Bad - James Bay
"I know it hurts that we don't touch anymore
It's even worse because we built this from the floor
It's just as hard for me to know I might see you around
It's just as hard for me to worry 'bout reachin' out."

Make You Feel My Love - Adele
"I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love."
