The Words

by Ashley Jade

We’ve never uttered a single word to one another… But sometimes I feel like nobody knows him better than I do.

Lennon can hate me all she wants—hell, she can scream it from the top of the highest mountain until her lungs give out—but she can’t deny our chemistry. It’s fucking napalm.

“I wasn’t pretending with you, Lennon.” Turning, he holds my gaze. “And yeah, I’ve fucked a lot of women.” His expression turns pained and his voice drops to a whisper. “Because after things ended between us, I knew I lost you for good.”

“Mistakes don’t define who someone is, Phoenix. It’s what you do after that does.”

Phoenix’s are supposed to rise from the ashes… But this one wants to burn.

It’s another reminder that even though pain can fade…it never really goes away.

“Because you begged her to kiss you…and she begged me to fuck her.”

“Don’t let your insecurities overpower that which makes your soul come alive. Otherwise, you’ll walk this earth never feeling whole…and that’s no way to live.”
