One phone call changed me.
Three simple words and I was shattered.
Damaged.
Broken.
Alone.
So I started over.
And my journey of rediscovery led me straight into his
arms.
Chase Porter.
The stranger who showed me life from a different
perspective.
But we both had secrets…
His would destroy my world.
Prologue
I was a horrible person.
Truly.
But
I had goals, and he didn’t fit into them.
I didn’t know how to take back the
words I’d said. They filtered through my brain like a bad dream that I just
couldn’t awaken from. Just when they started to slowly slip away, they
resurfaced. Rooted so deeply in my psyche, there was really no place for them
to hide.
If
only I’d known the ramifications of my actions. If only I’d known how my
decisions would hurt me beyond repair.
But
at the time, I couldn’t let him halt my progress. I was so close . . .
“Are
you in love with me, Aria? Do you want to be with me?” Parker asked, and my heart completely stopped. I had waited so long to hear
those words, for him to see me as more than a friend.
“No.
I don’t want to be with you,” I replied. Even as
the words left my mouth, I knew they were a lie.
I didn’t just love him. It was so
much more than that. So much more than love. He was my rock, my friend. He was
the lifeline that ran through me.
At
the time, I thought I had no choice . . . I thought he would be able to see
that after everything I’d been through I needed to succeed. I needed to make up
for the loss of my brother Owen. In the end, though, my decisions were always
toxic.
Toxic
to him.
Toxic to Owen.
Toxic
to everyone.
“No,
I don’t love you.”
Those
were the last words he heard as he turned and walked away.
My
heart tightened in my chest as the words replayed over and over again that
afternoon. A record skipping that I just couldn’t turn off.
Then the phone rang.
Three words were uttered.
Three words that changed my life.
The phone slipped from my trembling
hand, and I dropped to the floor.
I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t
scream.
Cemented in place.
My shoulders curled in, and I
clutched my stomach through dry heaves.
I’d lost my soul mate, and now I’d
lost my future.
Everything I’d worked for crumbled,
and it all no longer mattered.
