Heartbreak Prince (Broken Hearts Academy, #1)

by C.R. Jane

Sometimes when it's really dark outside, and I feel particularly alone. I allow myself to remember us. It doesn't happen often, because I wouldn't be able to function otherwise, but I just wanted you to know that everything about us is like perfect Technicolor in my memory.

After I turned ten, Dorothy Miller announced to the whole school at lunch that she was going to marry you. So I punched her.

“I think it's time for me to move on,” I continued. And it was a relief that he couldn’t answer back. Because what people didn’t know about Caiden was that underneath his wide smile was a boy who couldn’t let me go. He called me the loveliest kind of pain. I called him a monster.

I was fruit, ripe for the taking for the Parker brothers. They offered me the warmth, love, and attention I was desperate for. They were my greatest loves, and my worst mistakes.

I'd been obsessed with Everly James forever. It was a sickness that I needed to get rid of by any means necessary.

By the end of this semester, I wanted to never have to see that snake's face at this school again. The fact that I saw her in my dreams every night was already enough.

I was pretty sure my soul decided at that moment that we were going to be sisters. Damage called to damage and all of that.

He looked lost standing there, almost like a little kid. "Goodbye, Jackson," I whispered. I left the room, leaving my heart behind. I couldn't take it with me, it would always belong to him.

“I’m never going to get enough of you, Everly,” he said, looking into my eyes. “Even when we’re old and gray and the entirety of our lives are nothing but memories, I will never get enough of you.”
