Kindle Notes & Highlights
Sadness lingered behind her fleeting smile. I saw it before. Flickering inside of her. Like she would’ve been alright with dying. Like she was searching for something more that kept slipping out of her grasp.
Light is dimming behind your eyes; do you fucking see that, Daisy?
I turn around with my brother, and in a single fucking moment, someone suddenly pelts him with a projectile. Like slow motion, he raises his arm to protect his face, but it explodes into a white, dusty cloud all over him. I waft the air. “LO!” I scream, unsure if he’s okay. I can’t fucking see him.
A WHAT
The sun is out. I’m with a girl that I fucking love.
She senses this, her lips rising. “Am I in trouble?” My hands dip towards the front of her shorts, and my chest melds against her back. I whisper in her ear, “So much fucking trouble.” I unbutton and unzip her shorts. Pressing a palm to her lower abdomen, I push her body harder against mine.
mhm. raw.
I break away quickly and drop to my knees.
RAAAHHHB
“We’re not done, Calloway.” I have to come inside of her in order to make a fucking baby, and I’m not about to drive into her without her being wet.
ME NEXT LETS GO

THE GASP I JUST GUSP
Using my phone I record only my dick sliding further in and out, a close-up that she can’t see from this angle. After thirty-seconds of footage, I hand her the phone.
WHHAAATTT????????
In a low, husky voice, he says, “Vieni qui.”
HOLYSHITHOLYSHIT
He uses Italian with me mostly in intimate moments, muttered quietly and softly. I’ve heard this phrase enough to translate it without asking.
“Can’t a guy appreciate romance? Will there be tissues at the wedding because I’m a crier. I’m not against using cloth napkins.” He pauses. “That’s if I’m invited.” His eyes ping between us. “I’m invited, right?” “No,” Ryke deadpans at the same time that I say, “Yes.” Sully points at his friend. “Traitor.” “Loser.” Sully gapes. “Toad-face.”
“Ginger root.” He tosses him a carabiner, and I can almost see their friendship at eight and nine years old, right before my eyes. Sully scoffs and pats his hair. “You just wish you were part of the Weasley clan.”
IM HOLLERING
A giant part of me wishes I feared death. I fear people who’ll hurt me. Who’ll hurt Ryke. Who’ll hurt my sisters, but I don’t fear the end. Though being a huge part of someone’s life makes me stop and think and ache. I hate imagining Ryke alone, so I try not to dwell or let sadness consume me. I have so much to live for, and I’m not ready to slow down.
SHES SO ME BRO
Don’t read the newest Celebrity Crush. They took a horrible picture of you. Like you look ugly as fuck and you’re a freaking super model. Or…were. – Harper
ARE WE DEADASS
“Congratulations by the way,” I tell my brother. There’s a long pause. “For what?” “You know what.” It’s the first week of October. Today marks the fucking day that my little brother has been sober…for two long years.
IM SOBBING STOP IT
Rose snorts, “And I’m not Rose Calloway Cobalt.” Daisy mock gasps. “No way. Who are you?”
“I almost brought nail polish, but I thought ‘no, I don’t want the fumes to asphyxiate my sisters.’ Now I’m rethinking my loyalties.”
The wind takes her brunette hair, and my love for this girl just fucking floods me.
Lily claps alongside Willow, and I smile as tears run down Lil’s cheeks. She knows that Daisy has been through a lot, including the betrayal of close friends, and now she plans to construct a place that values friendship. She has a giant, forgiving heart, and no matter how many times people try to burn her, she’s found a way to rise above.
IM SOBBING
Dais tries to help Lily up, pulling her while Willow pushes on her butt so she’ll reach the top. Lily Hale has no upper-body strength.
LILY HALE
Her smile lights up the fucking sun. There is nothing happier in the world than this moment.
oh so im ugly crying
