Tied (All Torn Up #2)

by Carian Cole

For those who choose to hide in the shadows, away from everything the light reveals… you’re beautiful. Yes, you.

I just like the thrill of chasing and catching things. It satisfies my inner stalker.

The secret to fairy tales is believing in them. That’s what makes them come true.

We’re kindred spirits, me and him. Both debarked. Both scarred. Both lost. Both worried about her. Both still thinking about her.

I wanted to be responsible for igniting a feeling in a soul just as lonely and broken as my own.

I reveled in the feeling of being wanted, accepted, and liked.

How bizarre. How stalkery. How romantic.

This lost girl with the stormy eyes has become my caffeine, my morphine, my new drug of choice. I can no longer get through a day without a shot of her, whether it be seeing her or just a simple text message. And like any addiction, as much as I enjoy it, I know it’s something that I can’t do forever, and I’ll eventually have to quit it and forget it.
