Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I know it hurts, baby girl,” he whispers against my hair. “I’m so fucking sorry he’s gone.”
Because even the strongest girls surrender for the right boy.
“There’s plenty of shit people should apologize for in this world…but feelings should never be one of them.”
Oakley has a way of making me feel…free.
“We’re all gonna die someday, baby girl. But it’s still no reason to miss out on all the fun life has to offer.”
“No.” His gaze locks on mine. “That’s the world, baby girl.” The look he gives me steals my breath. “And you’re in it for a reason.”
A soul as black as the night sky. Lips as red as the blood she’s out for. The girl who leaves them running scared. She's a beautiful nightmare.
“We’ll never be butterflies,” I choke out as he rocks me. “Caterpillars are cool, too,” he whispers against my hair. “You get to hang upside down and you have over a thousand muscles but no bones. That’s some badass shit.”
“We speak a secret language that no one else can understand, and we feel things for each other that don’t make sense to the rest of the world…just us.”
“So, before you take that first drink and throw everything you’ve worked so hard for away…trust me enough to get you through this. Because I love you, Oakley, and that means you won’t ever have to fight your demons alone.”
Everything is slightly hazy when I open my eyes. Everything but him. It’s as if the world is black and white, but he’s the only one in color.
All these questions in my head, but none of them will ever be answered. And even though you were gone too soon, one thing's for sure. You might not have been planned... But were loved and you were wanted.
No matter how upset she is with me, or how stubborn she can be—I’m always going to fight for us. Because I made her a promise that I’d never leave her. And I’m fucking keeping it.
