The Story of Us (Coates Academy #1)

“It’s okay, I cried too. I’ll probably cry again tonight.”

the vibe i bring to the function

Everyone I love is within my reach, but I’ve never felt more distant from any of them.

I don’t know how I can face her and pretend that she hasn’t been carrying my broken heart around for the past few months.

He doesn’t know that I had her and that she was mine, just like I was hers. He doesn’t know that I lost her and it was all my fault.

I’m the only one who’s broken that promise, but he’s broken so many others.

She’s it for me, always has been and always will be.

I think about her and everything feels better.

The sunlight catches him in a way that makes it look like he’s glowing like the rest of the world around him has dulled.

Isaac kissed me. And I kissed him too. And I liked it more than I should.

just like I still carry her pencils and a sketchbook that is filled with too many sketches of her,

and I don’t care about the hatred I can see in her eyes because at least it means she feels something towards me.

I love her mind, and I want to get back to hearing every thought that’s running through it.
