“Teach me how to fly, my beautiful butterfly.”
Jay Bell“Ben wore the same goofy smile as in the photo. Take that, new guy! I can make him happy too!”
Jay Bell, Something Like Winter“To the untrained eye, Ben had nothing, at least by the bizarre rules that governed high school. But really, Ben was one of the few who wasn't pretending, one of the few who was free.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Winter“He was so handsome, so beautiful. Inside and out.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Summer“Teach me how to fly, my beautiful butterfly.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Summer“There’s a coward and a fool, and both of them are you, My heart is cracked and broken, but yours is frozen through.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Summer“Love isn’t meant to be hidden away and life is too short for shame.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Summer“I guess I should have known back then. All the guys after him only left flesh wounds. Benjamin managed to get into my bones on day one.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Spring“Falling in love is a subtle process, a connection sparked by attraction, tested by compatibility, and forged by memory.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Summer“You know that old saying about home being where the heart is? I don’t think that refers to your own. It’s the hearts of other people, the ones you love, that makes a home.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Autumn“No wheelchair can support damaged self-esteem until it learns to stand upright. No cane can help emotions limp along until they can walk. A cast or brace can't protect a vulnerable spirit, and not even the strongest painkiller can stop the ache cause by a failed relationship. No, the only way a broken heart mends itself is with stitches of time and the sticky tape of hastily rearranged dreams.”
