Look After You (Look After You, #1)

by Elena Matthews

Faith is I all I have, and I plan on grasping it with both hands, praying with the universe that I can have my happy ending; praying that my life won’t suddenly be crushed into a thousand pieces.

And to those who say superheroes aren’t real … They’re wrong. Because I’m looking at one right now.

“Well, that isn’t even worth thinking about. A world without you is a world not worth living in.”

“But I’m not going to kiss you. If I kiss you right now, we both know that it’ll be more than just two friends kissing. I want more than anything to be able to kiss you, to blow every other kiss you’ve ever had out of the water, but I can’t be that guy. I can’t be that guy who breaks up a family. It just wouldn’t be fair.”

Darkness has always been a constant companion, even from an early age. With every happy moment I’ve ever experienced, tragedy has always been close behind, reminding me that I can never truly be happy.

“Heaven is such a magical place. The clouds are made of marshmallows and the rain is made up of chocolate and skittles. Every Disney character you can imagine will be there, and you will get to live in your own Cinderella Castle just like the one at Disney World, but it will be even bigger. You will find your prince, and you will become a princess of your own kingdom and you will live forever and ever, and ever.”

You gave my life purpose. You brought me out of myself, gave me the confidence to love myself. You were my first love, my first everything.”
