Young love dies hard.
My high school crush is everything to me. Under normal circumstances, you’re ready to graduate and get away from your overbearing family.
I hated leaving her behind to pursue my college career, and honestly, I’ve been lonely as hell since. Missing her smile, her voice, her sharp as hell tongue—everything.
It’s been a few years but I waited like a good boy. Waited for her to turn eighteen, choose to leave her abusive father behind, and run away with me. Now? I’m back for her.
If I have anything to say about it, she’ll put this damn town in the rear view mirror and never look back. Unfortunately, some things don’t work out.
