Fracture Me (Shatter Me, #2.5)

by Tahereh Mafi

I’ll never love anyone the way I love this kid.

A weak link can bring everything down with it, and I don’t think this is the time to be taking chances.

I might walk onto that battlefield with a beating heart and be dragged off with a dead one.

I’m one part furious and one part terrified, and the two are having a battle of their own in my mind.

Kenji grins. “Okay then. Let’s go get our girl back.” “My girl,” I correct him. “She’s my girl.”

James must’ve been terrified. He must’ve been scared out of his mind and still, he snuck out of Omega Point because he wanted to help. Because he wanted to fight alongside us. I could kill him for it. But damn if he’s not one of the bravest people I’ve ever known.

The elephant in the room has made an appearance, and now no one knows what to say.

But I know I have a responsibility to Juliette. What would she do if I weren’t there to help her? She needs me.
