All Chapters of Tainted Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Love is a complex being. One that most would sell their all for to decipher, but in most cases their all isn't nearly enough to cover the cost of this delicate emotion that we all want to feel, understand, charish and give back to the one most deserving of being gifted by this godly given.All we want is something pure, something clean and untouched by our sinful hands, but that is as rare as chickens teething.

To no avail there's no one insight.Who would think to write me a note?

Then again it can be Madison trying to get back at me. A heavy sigh leaves my lips as I take my bathing suit out of the locker to go and change in the bathroom.The door to the bathroom is ajar as I approach it, two female voices chatting away as I near the room.As I push the brown oak door ope
