Luckily, I’s learned at an early age that self-preservation was the only way to survive with your soul intact.
Why couldn’t I have just made it home without seeing them? I wasn’t in the mood to play good freaking Samaritan to Beau and his trashy girlfriend.
Well, let’s see, I found out Pagan has low blood sugar and becomes a complete b – witch if she doesn’t eat a candy bar during a stressful moment.
The emptiness where I used pain to fill the hole no longer controls me, no longer calls me because of you.
She was the rock in a world that was crumbling.
Girl, there ain’t a boy in this town who can hold a candle to Beau Vincent with his shirt off.
Goodbyes weren’t all they were cracked up to be.
I need you. Right now. Let me love you right here, please.
The whole town’s talking about the way Jax Stone sat in your hospital room and snag to you until you came out of your coma. Then he apparently wouldn’t leave you alone for a minute. The boy sounds hooked.
Too late. I’ve already seen the blush. Stop trying to hide it from me. I think it’s adorable.
That’s okay. You an be selfish with me all you want. I’m yours.
If you were mine, I would never let you go.
Don’t frown beautiful, you fascinate me.
You’re my present and my future Sadie, I will use whatever power I have to make you happy.
I don’t want to beg or promise you things I can’t give you. There isn’t much of me to give, but what I have is yours. This is all up to you, Sadie. If you want me, I’m yours. If you can’t do this, then I’ll walk away and leave you alone. I swear.
But dreams change. Fate has a way showing you paths you want more.
Even if I had stayed she wouldn’t have ever wanted me. She didn’t want me for anything more than a summer fling. I was a way of moving on for her.
It didn’t mean forever but for right now I wanted Rush to be my first. He wouldn’t be my last. A stop I might never forget or get over. That was what scared me the most. Not being able to move on.
Sleeping on it didn’t make accepting it any easier. It seemed like a really bad dream.
Adjusting to Beau being a caveman over a girl had been almost as hard as seeing him with Ash. Beau didn’t do jealous, not until Ashton had become his. Now he was a freaking lunatic.
