Landon & Shay: Part One (L&S Duet, #1)

by Brittainy C. Cherry

Funny how you could be a different character in different people’s storybooks.

but when a person you love is broken, you see the cracks every time they are around you, and you just wish you had the tools to fix those breaks.

Everyone had cracks and cuts that bled into their soul each night. Some people were simply better at hiding them.

Each negative choice he made ripped the strands of our family unit, and yet he kept doing it, not thinking about us, not thinking of anything but himself.

“The people who show the least emotions are normally the ones who hurt the most,”

But what do I know? It’s hard to walk in someone else’s shoes when they don’t fit your feet.

Who knew the hardest war would end up being me against my mind?

Hurt people have a way of hurting others.

Not even on purpose, but it happens. That’s the problem with making decisions during stretches of temporary sadness or struggle. You sometimes shoot bullets at people who didn’t deserve to be shot.

we’re all a little broken. If you think anyone in this world doesn’t have cracks, scars, and a story, then you’re not looking close enough. We weren’t brought into this world to be perfect; we were brought here to be human. To live. To feel. To hurt. To love. To cry. To exist. And with that, comes a few broken parts. You don’t have to be perfect to love or be loved. You just have to be brave enough to show the world your scars and call them beautiful.”
