Under Your Scars (Under Your Scars, #1)

by Ariel N. Anderson

The Meridian City Silencer.

watched them die. It probably still cuts him like a serrated knife if he thinks about it too long.

is this batman?

and I nod as he presses a light kiss to my mouth. Featherlight and cautious, like he’s afraid he’ll hurt me. It’s over in an instant, and he looks back down at me. “Are you still sure?” he asks again, and I nod, to which he presses his lips against mine again, soft, like the first time. “How about now?”

hot, but sexual harassment feeling ?

Regret twists in my gut.

girl duh

and my zip-up hoodie with the sleeves cut off.

no.

September 6, 1989. I’d change everything about that day.”

? same fam orrr

“More than you could ever possibly know.”

WHAT HAS SHE DONE OMG

You are the only thing in my life that’s ever made me consider the future. At first, the future was just the next day. I started sleeping better because I knew falling asleep would make tomorrow come faster and I would get to see you again. I wanted to get a glimpse of you, to see you smile, to hear you laugh. I made a game out of trying to guess how you’d wear your hair to the office. I was always looking forward to the next day because I wanted to discover one more piece of the puzzle that made up Elena Young.”

But he doesn’t deserve her and it’s not fucking fair that he gets to have her, and I don’t.

his true self doesn’t deserve her? is this one guys or two HELP

I’ve never had to share, and I’m not about to start.

he’s gotta be joking right. he has to have dissociative identity disorder or sum

purple bruises littering my torso.

that he has a wife and six-year-old son.

#THATS HIM

I know exactly why I desire her in my soul, and I’ll tell her about it one day, because she deserves to know why I call her angel.

bruh

“Something tells me you could use a few diamonds in your life.”

did she not say it should’ve been diamonds when the silencer gave her the anklet? i’m on to you.

ruined my vagina and then called me a mistake.

I have to taste her skin again.

dump the old pills into the toilet and then replace the unused pills in the packet with the corresponding blue and white placebos. Then, I take a lighter to heat up glue stuck to the foil before sealing it down.

ummm wtf

“Isn’t our son handsome? We have to find him a wife. He’s getting old like me.”

son? like wth is happening

ovaries release a bunch

no literally .

I’m not even sure I want them.

yikes ????

Anger, sadness, frustration, happiness. He feels everything so wholly.

the dude has bpd or something girl read between the lines

Christian stands up from his seat and stomps out of the room.

hello wth

don’t allow people to lie to him.” “Oh,” I say, my heart squeezing painfully. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” He looks up at the sky and sighs. “Just don’t do it again.”

how tf would she know

massive purple diamond.

no :/

“Stay with me,” Christian suggests immediately. “Move to the Reeves Estate.”

obvi this was his whole plan. at this point i’ll be suprised if there’s 2 guys

The Silencer probably did this to me with the expectation that I’d end up on the street so he can whisk me away to his secret lair like some kind of fucked up white knight.

He didn’t even sound this terrifying when he was threatening Neil.

but I know for sure that if there was ever a moment where he should tell me the ‘bad thing’, it should be now.

survival instinct of a rock

Five letters that spell my name.

mind you, they’ve only known eachother for a couple months

“You’re the Silencer.”

ya girl duh

A tiny needle burrowing into my delicate veins with every small movement.

my tiny little veins my little itty bitty body i’m so skinny help

pull my gun from the back of my pants and hold it to my temple, “then let me pull the trigger this time.”

😐

won’t love me, maybe she’ll love him.

WHO ELSE JESUSSS

anyone that boundaries have never stopped me.

have we learned nothing

500 billion. An astonishing number, even for me.

i could’ve swore she said trillion

“Give me time. I’m not going anywhere. Let our love be simple and let it be complicated too. Let me see all of you, the parts of you that you keep hidden under your scars. Make me fall even more deeply in love with all the dark parts of you. The parts you think are unlovable. Then one day, ask me properly, and I’ll say yes.”

girl bye omg

“What’s your rush to get married? I’ve known you since September,

😵‍💫

I haven’t done anything to land my kills in the paper. I don’t even claim them anymore. An intentional decision I made to avoid this exact situation.

It wasn’t. Fucking. Me.

dudes gonna say it was his alter ego 😐

“I can’t believe you’d let me go without a goodbye kiss, angel.”

please leave me alone

told him to go fuck himself, because I’m not going anywhere without you.”

sigh af

was going to be one of his victims.”

…no

But I can still save her. I can. I will.

I loved her first,

He’s going to kill our baby.”

And he pulls the trigger.
