Cesare Pavese wrote: "Love is truly the great manifesto; the urge to be, to die valiantly, with acclamation- in short, to remain a memory." ------ Alan: I feel everything around me and my heart is in my throat. I could end right there. In a Valiant acclamation of crushed metal and explosive fire. I slam the gas harder and now I can't stop because I am the fastest thing on earth. I am the only thing that matters as I hurtle towards the Great Manifesto. ----- Austin: Gielle put the words out there on purpose, like a lawyer trying to lead the jury." Objection miss Santana." "So sorry, please disregard." But its too late because the jury has already heard the words and latched onto them-- if he likes Austin, then Austin must like him in return. ----------- Alan: I want to live. And I don't mean just staying alive, I want to do stupid shit. I want to stay up until four a fucking m bowling or break in to the school, or, sneak up the water tower and smoke. I want to live Austin, and I want you to live with me. I want us to step off of that ledge. And this stupid project got me close enough to ask. So. Austin Robert, Shall we wander? ----- Alan: By lunch, its all over the school that Austin Carlile saved Alan Ashby from jumping off the bell tower. -------- Alan: Trust me," Alan drawled," the worst thing you could do is look down." --------- Random excerpts from the story This story is based off of All The Bright Places

*THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. ANY RELATION OF THE CHARACTERS OR SITUATIONS TO REAL LIFE ARE NOT INTENTIONAL AND ANY SIMILARITIES TO REAL LIFE ARE A RESULT OF COINCIDENCE* ---------- ""Mayuri, I don't want you to feel like you're ever alone," I couldn't tell, but I know X was holding his tears or something back. He was hiding something from me, but I couldn't tell what it was. "I don't want to hang up until you feel sleepy or want to rest. For as long as I've known you Mayuri, I know you hate being alone, especially if you're in the hospital. So, I made a promise to myself, that as long as you're awake, I'll stay awake with you, so you don't ever have to feel like you're all alone." ---------- What would it be like to be normal? What would it be like to not be scared to fall asleep at night and not be afraid to wake up? She has always wondered what it would be like to be someone else who wasn't in her shoes. Mayuri Crest has unfortunately developed narcolepsy at a young age and ever since then, her life has always been under constant surveillance, where people always pity her, but never really asked her about who she is. Her last year in high school though, she plans to make sure that she doesn't forget any of it. Mayuri plans to make her last year the best year she's ever had and finally, after the long, gruelling pain of alienated because of her conditions, both her medical and school wise, she would experience what it would be like to be like everyone else. ------- NOTE: There are possible trigger warnings in this novel e.g. suicidal thoughts.
