“Then there are your friends and their little club, which you don’t have a problem with. Why do you make an exception for them but not for me?”
The motorcycle grows louder, the thunderous rattle of its engine nearly drowning out the shrill beat of my heart. Mac’s demeanor softens and I shiver as he runs a gentle hand down the length of my arm. An odd tugging sensation in my chest seems to be pulling me backward, toward the rumbling sound at the head of the alleyway, but with Mac’s hand on my arm I can’t move.
I get her for the summer and that’s it. It’s not like she was mine to keep in the first place, so I don’t let the fact that she’s gone taint the times she made me smile. What kind of life would that be, if I only dwelled on the things I lost?”
“Keep your chin up and never let them see you sweat. Everything that happens in here is about power. Who has it. Who wants it. Who’s willing to take it. You’re strong. Stop hiding.”
Five things you see, four things you feel, three things you hear, two things you smell, one thing you taste.
“I’ll love you until the day I die, Rylee Adder. But I’ll let you go, if that’s what you need.”
“First off, this isn’t fighting, Tiger. If anything, it’s foreplay. Trust me, you’ll know when we’re fighting. Second, the only thing I have to get off my chest is how much I’ve fucking missed you.”

“If you’re thinking about pretending like this morning didn’t happen, or if you think you can avoid what’s coming, think again.”
“You guys are like magnets. Half of the time, you’re repelling one another so violently I feel like I should run for cover. The other half, I’m terrified I’ll be crushed between the force of your attraction.” His
“You’re right. I am an asshole, but do you want to know what I’m not? I’m not your goddamn fuck buddy. No strings, no emotion, no commitment? Are you fucking kidding me? You are mine. I get all of you, whatever that looks like. Messy. Whole. Perfect. Broken. I don’t give a fuck. I want it all, and I’ll settle for nothing less.”
“I might have lost you, but that doesn’t mean you weren’t the best fucking thing to ever happen to me. It doesn’t mean you’re not still the most important part of my life.”
He broke our hearts to save our lives.
