But hey, what doesn’t kill you just gives you seriously fucked-up coping mechanisms and one massive self-destruct button.
God, he’s beautiful. Beautiful and finally fucking mine.
No one has ever made me feel this thoroughly owned. Honestly, I don’t think anyone else ever could.
“You fuck me up, Nix.”
Hell if I’m gonna give him another reason to hate me. Not when I’m already dying for him to stop.
A look of relief takes over his face and he starts laughing. Like a real, genuine laugh, and I realize this is the first time I’ve heard it. And my God, if it isn’t the most incredible sound on this planet.
“You have to stop looking at me like that.” My eyes follow the lines and planes of his face as I murmur, “I wish I knew how.”
Pained doesn’t even begin to describe Phoenix’s expression when I finally glimpse at him. But again, it’s not in sympathy. It’s like he’s feeling all the emotions I am. Like he’s taking them for himself, so I don’t have to carry the burden alone.

“I don’t know if he’ll forgive me for falling in love with you.”
My heart lurches at his name, and I’m starting to see I really am fucked when it comes to this guy.

But you’re still my best friend, Phoe. I still care about you and will always want you to be happy. That’s all I will ever want for you.”
Choosing me means choosing you, too.”
“You fuck me up, Nix,” he murmurs, his lips brushing mine with every word. I smile against his mouth. “I know, baby. You fuck me up, too.”
