Kindle Notes & Highlights
To everyone who has been underestimated. I hope you prove everyone wrong, including yourself.
Alana has a daughter. A five-year-old daughter with dirty blond hair and big blue eyes eerily like mine.
A part of you still loves him.
It wasn’t the place itself, but a special person who made it feel that way.
Struggling with drugs isn’t a challenge, Alana. It’s an addiction.
I rip my arm free of his hold. “No. I deserved better from you.”
Grief is a strange thing. It comes and goes, usually at the most inconvenient time, turning our lives upside down while we process the loss yet again.
“Chocolate milkshake,” Cal and I say at the same time.
Ahh this is so cute
“You think this is funny? That being the family joke is an accomplishment? Wake up. You’re a pathetic waste of space who shouldn’t even be allowed in this building given how you’re a stain to our last name.”
I made sure of that the moment I walked away from her, turning her fear of abandonment into a reality. And I’ve never forgiven myself.
“Deflect like you always do. It’s one of the few things you’re actually good at.”
Ewww i hate this
“Maybe I’ll even go there tonight.” His eyes brighten. “It’s not like you could hear us all the way from the guesthouse, right?”
I don’t stick around for the drunk man in front of me. I stay for the man I once loved more than anything.
Sometimes it is those with the loudest voices who struggle the hardest.
She looks heaven-sent, with the golden glow of the sun surrounding her like a halo, highlighting the warm tones of her hair and the edges of her curves.
The life I could have had. The only woman I ever loved. The future I threw away because of an addiction.
Cal warned me years ago about my sister, but I didn’t listen. If he found out about all the mistakes I made, he would be furious.
This hits waaaay too close to home
“You did…while I was between your legs with my tongue deep inside your needy cunt.” Take that, you little witch.
She chokes on her breath. “God.”
“Please, no need to call me God outside of the bedroom. It gives me a complex.”
FERAL
Awww stop iove this
“But you won’t help me.” Her voice is sharper this time. My sister has always acted the same way, being sweet as flan de coco until she doesn’t get what she wants.
this hits waaaaaay too close
“I always thought we were meant to be. I might have screwed up the timing a bit, but that doesn’t change the fact that there is no one I want more in this world than you.”
Lana is the only woman I ever loved, and it’s time I started acting like it.
“We don’t have a future.”
“Not yet, but give me some time to prove you wrong.”
“I don’t expect you to believe me, but I’m just warning you.”
YESSSSSS
“Are you going to get on your knees and beg, or are you going to stand there and watch while I make myself come harder than you ever could?”
Then get the help you need
I wish to kick my addiction for good.
I hope you do
Sobbing
I dare you to wait for me. The real me. The sober me. The best me who wants to spend the rest of his days getting drunk on life with you.
Cant stop crying
Slowly, drinking became a way to numb the problems.
Crying for him
“According to the landlord, the property has a whole family of mice living inside. As you can imagine, that’s not exactly a selling point.”
STOOOOOOOOP
“I dare you to spend the rest of your life with me.”
“I dare you to let me love and protect you and Cami and every other kid we have with my whole heart.”
“I dare you to take a risk on me, knowing that things won’t always be the easiest and that I will struggle, although I have every intention of...
