Verity

by Colleen Hoover

It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.

It was as if I’d been standing on the edge of a cliff my whole life, and finally, after meeting Jeremy, I felt confident enough to jump. Because—for the first time in my life—I felt confident that I wouldn’t land. I would keep flying.

But when a person finds someone who makes all the negativity in their lives disappear, it’s hard not to feed off that person.

He deserves to be with someone who will put her love for his children before anything else. I pull the pillow off my face and I place it under my hips, lifting them so that everything he just left inside me doesn’t seep out.

Literally wtf
