Kindle Notes & Highlights
“No one is going to say a word about you.” “But they all saw me—” “Nobody is going to open their mouth about it.” Realizing my tone was bordering on angry, I brought it down a notch and tried again. “Not the team, Coach, or anyone else. I won’t let them.” She blinked her confusion. “You won’t let them?” “That’s right,” I confirmed with a nod. “I won’t let them.” “You promise?” she whispered, a tiny smile pulling at her swollen lips. “Yeah,” I replied gruffly, feeling like I would promise all the fucking promises in the world just to make this girl feel better.
“You are so concerned with fighting the bullies at school, Mam,” I sobbed, tears streaming down my cheeks, “when the biggest bully of them all lives under this roof.”
“What happened?” he demanded, glaring down at me. “Who the fuck made you cry?”
“Give me a name,” Johnny growled, dropping his hands to his hips. “And I’ll take care of it.”
“Now,” I sneered, glaring down at their faces. “Who wants to call my girlfriend a whore to my face?”
“Hi, Johnny.” “Boom, boom, fucking boom, Da,” I groaned, slapping a hand against my chest. “I’m done for.”
“Take the lights away and stay with me, Shannon like the river.”
