Kindle Notes & Highlights
Good girls like her weren’t made for guys like me. And bad boys never fell for girls like her.
I was stupid to think that it wouldn’t end up this way. That she wouldn’t be standing here, confused and hurt, and that I wouldn’t be standing here, holding my bloody heart in my hands as she threw it back at me. She didn’t even know I’d given her my heart. I didn’t even know. I didn’t even know I had much of one to begin with, and here I was, bleeding out with her standing just a few feet away.
I didn’t like seeing her like this. My heart screamed, and I needed it to stop. I needed her little snarky remarks to come back. I begged for her rightful anger to rear its head again so she could stop bleeding out in front of me. “Gemma, baby. I want you to breathe.” My forehead came down and rested along hers. It was sweaty, and I shut my eyes, wanting to take everything away from her. I didn’t know what I was taking, but I would take it. I would take her hurt and make it my own.
“You’re mine,” I whispered against her sweet taste. “Give me everything you have. I’ll take it.”

“I love you, and I will not stop trying to make the world a better place for someone like you.”
