Hate Me (Black Mountain Academy)

by Ashley Jade

I can’t change what happened, or how people will think of me now. But I can change how I react to it.

She’s in my head—like a whisper in the dark I can’t ignore. She’s in my soul—like a siren I can’t run away from. She’s the feeling in my chest I’ve never experienced before, but would kill to hold on to forever. She’s the home I never had.

I want you to live, Aspen. More than live. I want you to grab life by the goddamn balls and fucking fly.
