Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5)

by Chloe Walsh

“That asshole is nothing to me. He’s not my blood. He’s not my brother. He’s not my goddamn anything, so don’t you dare keep throwing him in my face!” “He killed my sister!” “Do you think you’re the only person to ever lose their sister?” I roared, throwing my hands up in frustration. “I lost my sister, too, Lizzie! I buried my sister and my father!” “They drowned,” she spat out. “Accidentally. It’s not the same thing. Nobody hurt them. Not like my sister or Shannon’s mam.” “Oh, I’m so fucking sorry my family didn’t die in more gruesome circumstances,” I choked out, trembling. “Shit, maybe Beth should have drifted into the motor of the boat after she drowned, at least then we’d have a little blood and gore for the sob story.” “You know I didn’t mean it like that.” “You don’t know what you mean, because you haven’t thought clearly a day since she died,” I shot back. “You’re programmed on pain and bitterness. I’ve tolerated your bullshit for years because I knew how you felt. Because I know how it feels. But you crossed the line coming in here and pushing Claire around. Now, the rest of our friends can keep handing out hall passes for your horrendous behavior, Lizzie, and I’m not taking it anymore. Do you hear me? I am not walking this line with you another day of my goddamn life!”

I'm speechless…
