Her tears.
They’re gonna be so pissed when they find out that not only did I have a seizure behind the wheel with their sister in the car—but that I’ve been hooking up with her all summer.
She might love him now… But she loved me first. Even when I hated her.
Not the bad guy everyone keeps saying he is.
A tortured soul who trusted him to fix her. But he didn’t. Because he was too busy taking advantage of her.
Hayley’s dad was Mr. Young, my mom’s psychiatrist. And the man she was cheating on my dad with.
she hurt me in ways she doesn’t remember… and I hurt her in ways I can’t forget.
Because even the strongest girls surrender for the right boy.
“You were right before. I do see you.” Before I can stop him, he eases off me. “And you deserve more than this.” With that…he takes off.
His words punch into my heart. I’d give just about anything to know what those memories are.
“Then why the fuck do you want me in your life?” The truth pours out of me. “Because I feel something when I’m with you. Something I can’t explain.”
All I know is the heavy feeling of dread in my chest goes away whenever he’s near.
Because for reasons I can’t explain… I need him in my life.
Because the thought of spending alone time with Oakley, even just for a little while…is worth trying to conquer my fear.
I didn’t need to wear a shield or a mask in front of him…because Oakley has a way of seeing right through it.
“I’m trying to do the right thing, but you make it fucking impossible.”
For the first time since my accident, I go to sleep with a smile on my face.
Arousal snakes up my spine and I almost drop the damn container. I’m suddenly very aware that he’s seen me naked. And gave me the best orgasm of my life.
What the fuck was I thinking? You can’t be friends with someone you’re in love with.
I’m starting to feel less like his fiancée and more like his maid.
“I want what I want, and I refuse to apologize for it.”
“I promise I’ll keep Baby Covington safe.”
“Call me crazy, but something isn’t right there. He’s not good for her.”
I fucking feel it in my goddamn bones.
Not only because my heart doesn’t like that idea. But because of the fucked-up feeling churning in my gut. The one telling me not to walk away. Because she needs me.
I’d get us mint chip ice cream for dinner, but you don’t actually like it.” His lips curve into a smirk. “I do now.”
“Addicts are people who are trying to numb the pain, too. Only difference is, they aren’t dead…yet.”
“I don’t give a fuck what he said to me. I don’t like the way he was talking to you.”
She’s with you. Love, your big brothers.
“That’s the world, baby girl.” The look he gives me steals my breath. “And you’re in it for a reason.”
I’ve been so scared of dying…I haven’t been living.
Because if life has taught me anything…it’s that beautiful things never last. No matter how much you might want them to.
Bianca Covington is the type of woman who could steal a man's soul and then destroy his existence when she’s done.
“I don’t dance.” But I do…for her.
I’m not good with words like you are, but I figured I’d try anyway. I know you hate your birthday because it reminds you of your mom, but despite how much she disgusts me…I’m also grateful to her. Because she brought you into the world. This beautifully broken yet incredible person who’s fundamentally changed me for the better. Because you’re the only one who’s ever been able to break through my walls and truly see me. Happy birthday, Oakley. Thank you for being born. Thank you for saving me…even when it’s from myself.
Given the bitch is well aware that her father is responsible for my mother’s death, there’s no point beating around the bush.
I always knew her dad was terrible for what he did to my mom, and his wife…but he’s even worse than I could fathom.
the thought of Oakley being with another girl…a girl who’s not me. Feels like death by a thousand cuts.
I’ll fight them with him, for him, and beside him.
