ログイン“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

Fuck. This was hard. I wanted to stop, but now more than ever, I knew they wouldn’t let me. “Like I said, things were going well for some time. They weren’t perfect, but they were bearable. That is, until the night mom called me to let me know that Ava had given birth to a baby boy and that Rowan f
103. Calvin. I wait. I wait patiently for her to come back. I didn’t know where she went, but I can take a pretty damn good guess. She was mad; I understand that more than anything. If anyone is pissed off and hurt at what Emma has been doing, then it’s me. She has caused me and Gunner more hurt t
“I joined college and continued working further on myself. I became unrecognizable. I drowned in college life. The girls, parties, and booze. Life was great. I had girls all over me. I had my pick from a large pool. Soon, I started to forget about Emma. There was no use crying over a girl that didn’
