Saving 6 (Boys of Tommen #3)

by Chloe Walsh

"You might be the addict in this relationship, but you’re also the habit that I need to kick,” she strangled out, chest heaving, as she turned in my arms to face me. “Because I feel like I’m dying when I’m with you, and I feel like I’m dead when I’m not.” Her tears were on my shoulder. I could feel them. It shook me to my fucking core. I wanted to make it up to her, show her the better side of me, but I was just so fucking tired. I was bone weary, on the inside and out. Her eyes were red and swollen. There was no morality in this. No one needed to love me if it meant that it hurt them this deeply. “Aoife.” What was left of my heart cracked clean open in my chest. “It kills me that I’ve done this to you.“ “And I can’t walk away, because I know that there's still a little bit of you left in there,” she choked out. Placing her hand over the part of my chest that bore her name, she sniffled another sob and whispered, “Which means that I'm going to keep on loving you, Joey Lynch. So, you might want to start thinking about stopping breaking my heart.”
