Kennedy Lowe was the girl that got away. So when she turns up broken and bruised, I‘m determined to fix things and finally claim the girl I’ve always loved.

I’ll tease her.

Tempt her 

In the end, I’ll make her mine.

Conner Jagger was the boy I always wanted. But we’re not the same people anymore, and I don’t know if I can trust him with my heart.

He’s unrelenting.

Overprotective.

In the end, he‘ll wear me down.

She might be the broken girl from the Heights, and I might be the guy with the world at his feet, but when someone hurts the people I love...

I won’t rest until they pay.

Conner: You think I’ll ever let you run from me? You’re mine, K. Always.

God. He’s so good at this, at telling me how he feels. Conner wears his heart on his sleeve, unafraid to reveal his true self. It’s admirable and totally swoon-worthy. But he harbors a darker side. I’ve seen it. Felt it quivering under the surface. The fighting, the way he’d fucked me into oblivion that night. Conner Jagger might be the good brother. The joker. The one with the big heart and even bigger smile. But even Lucifer was an angel once.

I toy around with my reply. It would be easy to tell him I love him, that I always have. But something holds me back. A little voice telling me not to fall too deep yet. Not until he can get over what happened. So I settle on something playful. Something that I hope will give him the nudge he needs to claim me in all the ways I want him to.

Me: Prove it.

I add a winking emoji for some extra sass. I can picture his smile as he reads it, hear his smooth laughter. It’s like falling all over again with him. I want to believe it’s real, I want to throw caution to the wind and give him my heart, but it isn’t whole anymore.

It’s broken.

I’m broken.

I think I’ll always need something from him he might not be able to give me.

Pain.
