The Air He Breathes (Elements, #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
"Stay away from him," people said.
"He's cruel."
"He's cold."
"He's damaged."
It's easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.
But I couldn't do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.
We were both empty. We were both looking for something else. Something more. We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.
Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.
The Gravity of Us (Elements, #4)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Graham Russell and I weren’t made for one another.
I was driven by emotion; he was apathetic. I dreamed while he lived in nightmares. I cried when he had no tears to shed.
Despite his frozen heart and my readiness to run, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other’s secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pains. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.
Those seconds left us floating, but when reality knocked us sideways, gravity forced us to descend.
Graham Russell wasn’t a man who knew how to love, and I wasn’t a woman who knew how to either. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I’d fall with him forever.
Even if we were destined to crash against solid ground.
Eleanor & Grey
Brittainy C. Cherry
Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time. But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for. I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.
A Love Letter from the Girls Who Feel Everything
Brittainy C. Cherry
Bestselling authors Brittainy C. Cherry and Kandi Steiner come together for the first time in an emotional compilation of poetry and prose. Written and collected over the course of more than two years, A Love Letter from the Girls Who Feel Everything is an intimate, honest, and raw assemblage of two women’s feelings in a modern world that often quiets any kind of emotion past indifference.
Discussing themes of love, worth, loss and hope, A Love Letter from the Girls Who Feel Everything is a journey of discovery and healing.
“We are the girls who feel everything.
And this is our love letter. To you, to them, to us, to the world, to no one at all. Whether it’s the brightest, sunniest day where everything is perfect, or the darkest, dreariest night of rain where life seems unbearable — we have lived it, we have survived it, and we have felt every, blissful, aching second.
Here’s to embracing the feels, to the brave souls that listen to the way their hearts beat and aren’t afraid to ask someone else if they feel those same beats, too. Here’s to the girls, the boys, the love we sometimes share and the love we all-too-often conceal.
And more than anything, Reader — here’s to you.”
Southern Storms (Compass, #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms...
After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.
What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep.
They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past.
What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh.
Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane.
Yet when both of our pasts came back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes love stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped.
Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

The Problem with Players
Brittainy C. Cherry
As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back--especially when it comes to past flames.
So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I'd mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.
My ex is baseball's all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He's also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.
Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.
And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.
Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.

Alle halten sich von ihm fern, und wilde Gerüchte kursieren im Ort, doch auf Elizabeth übt der Fremde eine ungekannte Anziehungskraft aus.

The Silent Waters (Elements, #3)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Moments.
Our lives are a collection of moments. Some utterly painful and full of yesterday's hurts. Some beautifully hopeful and full of tomorrow's promises.
I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me. Moments that scared me and engulfed me. However, the biggest ones—the most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones—all included him.
I was ten years old when I lost my voice. A piece of me was stolen away, and the only person who could truly hear my silence was Brooks Griffin. He was the light during my dark days, the promise of tomorrow, until tragedy found him. Tragedy that eventually drowned him in a sea of memories.
This is the story of a boy and girl who loved each other, but didn’t love themselves. A story of life and death. Of love and broken promises.
Of moments.
(Book Three in the Elements Series. Complete Standalone. Coming Fall 2016.)
The Holly Dates
Brittainy C. Cherry
All she wanted for Christmas was a boyfriend for the holidays…
All he wanted was for her to take her crappy first dates elsewhere…
Quirky Holly Jackson was unlucky in love, yet her romantic heart refused to give up her search for companionship—even after her fiancé left her at the altar on Christmas Eve.
Grumpy restaurant owner Kai Kane wanted nothing to do with love after his last relationship crashed and burned. Romance was the last thing on his mind. Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.
When Kai volunteered to help Holly find a suitor it was for one reason only: to get her out of his restaurant and on to a second date with someone at a different location.
Once Kai became Holly’s dating coach, her confidence grew.
It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai’s pick for her, the more overprotective he became.
Kai quickly realized that all wasn’t fair when it came to love and the holidays.
He was going to have to step up his game if he wanted a shot at the ultimate prize—being Holly’s favorite date.
*The Holly Dates is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy that will put you right in the holiday spirit.*
The Coldest Winter
Brittainy C. Cherry
I didn’t know he was forbidden until after our one night stand…
I met Milo Corti during his self-destructive era, and he met me during mine. That night when we crossed paths at a college party, we only had one goal in mind: to feel good during our personal hell storms.
After we parted ways, I’d planned to never see him again. That was until I showed up to my first day as a student-teacher and I found him sitting right there in front of me.
Now I was forced to cross paths with the person who was meant to be nothing more than a fading memory.
The more time we spent together, the more drawn I felt toward him. When his world took a shift for the worst, I couldn’t help myself but to lean in closer. .
My whole life I’d always done the right thing. For the first time ever, I wanted to do something very wrong. I wanted to fall in love with the one person who was off-limits.
The problem with falling for something forbidden? Once you began to descend, you were destined to crash.
Disgrace
Brittainy C. Cherry
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.
After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.
I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.
All I wanted was for him to come back to me.
Then, Jackson Emery appeared.
He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.
We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.
Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.
I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.
When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.
I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…
I prayed for him to be mine.
Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.
*This book was previously known as Between the Notes.*
The Fire Between High & Lo (Elements, #2)
Brittainy C. Cherry
There once was a boy, and I loved him.
Logan Francis Silverstone was the complete opposite of me. I danced while he stood still. He was quiet, and I was always running my mouth. He struggled to find a smile while I refused to frown.
The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn’t look away.
We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.
Until the day I lost him. He threw us away with one hasty decision—a decision that changed us forever.
There once was a boy, and I loved him.
And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too.
Wie die Ruhe vor dem Sturm (Chances, #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Grey hatte Spuren in meinem Herzen hinterlassen. Und ich hoffe so sehr, dass ich auch welche in seinem hinterlassen habe
Als ich meinen neuen Job als Nanny einer reichen Familie antrat, ahnte ich nicht, dass es Greysons Kinder waren, die ich betreuen würde. Und auch nicht, dass aus dem Junge, den ich einmal geliebt hatte, ein Mann geworden ist - ein eiskalter, einsamer, unnahbarer Mann. Greys Lachen ist verschwunden. Alles an ihm ist in Schmerz versunken. Doch ab und zu erkenne ich noch den Jungen von damals in seinen sturmgrauen Augen - und ich weiß, dass es sich um ihn zu kämpfen lohnt.

To the rest of the world he was becoming one of the wealthiest men in New York City. To me, he was simply my once upon a time superhero.

The only problem with my growing feelings for him? I was set to marry his new business partner.

I know I should stay away from Ian Parker.
But when my drug-dealing stepdad kicks me out, I have nowhere to go. Squatting in an abandoned shed on Ian’s grandpa’s farm seems like as good a plan as any.
Ian finds me there, of course, and he insists on me moving into his spare room. I should say no, but the appeal of a roof and a warm bed is too much. Not to mention Ian’s brown eyes and strong arms.
We’re nothing alike, but the spark between us is undeniable. My life is finally looking up.
Until I call the cops on my stepdad and unintentionally get my pregnant mom arrested.
Now I have to sacrifice my dreams to take care of my mom’s baby. She’s the only family I have left. Meanwhile, Ian’s band is taking off; his dreams are coming true.

Landon & Shay: Part Two (L&S Duet, #2)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy.
A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.
People warned me against our love, but I didn't listen.
We looked weak, young, and foolish.
Dangerously in love.
We didn't care.
In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret.
We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.
It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever.
The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy.
His career blossomed as mine stalled.
He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures.
He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true.
We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.
In the fairy tales, love conquered all.
In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall.
I always knew Landon belonged in my story.
He was my beginning, middle, and end.
The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his.
*Book Two of the Landon & Shay Duet.*
Landon & Shay: Part One (L&S Duet, #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Shay Gable hated my guts, and I hated hers, too.
We went out of our way to avoid one another at all times. When she came my direction, I went the other. When we locked eyes, she’d turn and walk away.
All of that changed the day I was presented with a challenge. It started out as a stupid bet: make Shay fall in love with me before I fell in love with her first.
That was an easy bet for me to win.
I didn’t love, I hardly liked.
Yet slowly the game started to shift. Shay made me crave things I never knew I wanted.
Love.
Happiness.
Her.
The closer we grew, the more she challenged my darkness, and the parts I kept locked away.
The hurts.
The pains.
The truth.
The game between us became too real, our feelings intermixed, and the risks of hurting one another grew higher.
But you know what they say...
All’s fair in the game of love and war—especially the heartbreaks.
(Book one in the L&S Duet)
Northern Stars (Compass, #4)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Hollywood's biggest star first belonged to me.
Northern Stars is an angsty, new adult, second chance standalone romance from Brittainy Cherry.
Breaking up with your high school sweetheart was one thing.
Breaking up with a famous Hollywood actor? That was a different situation.
I’d been in love with Aiden Walters since I was a little girl. We’d grown up as neighbors in our small town. He was my first love, and I was his. I was there when his career took off, and I was certain I’d always be a part of his life.
But just when his Hollywood star began to really shine, the internet blew up with the news of his real-life girlfriend at home. When I realized he was spending more time defending me than focusing on his career, I did the only thing I could do - I let him go.
Five years later, he was back home staying in the only hotel in our small town. Of course, it was the one I managed. I was forced daily to see the man whose heart I’d broken all those years ago.
The man who now resented me.
The man who grimaced with annoyance every time he looked my way.
The man who swore he’d never speak to me again.
It was clear that I was now his sworn enemy. Still, during our arguments, I saw the sparks of the boy I grew up loving. I craved his warmth, his touch, and the feelings that we once had.
I had to remind myself daily of why I ended things with him in the first place. Otherwise, I’d find myself falling in love with him all over again. Only this time, I was certain that if I fell, he wouldn’t be willing to catch me.
*Each book in the Compass Series can be read as a standalone and in any order. *
Western Waves (Compass, #3)
Brittainy C. Cherry
I always believed in fairy tales, but he preferred horrors.
Damian Blackstone didn’t care about my existence. He came into my world for one reason only. He came to find answers about his past.
He moved like the villain in my favorite fairy tales. He wasn’t the one who received the happily ever afters; he was the one who destroyed them.
Which was why I couldn’t understand why the man who raised me set it up in his will for Damian and me to be married. I wasn’t certain I’d be able to live with a man like Damian. We were as opposite as any two people could be. I loved to bathe in the sunlight while he prospered in the shadows.
I didn’t think I’d develop feelings for the one who looked at me as if I were nothing more than a means to an end. Yet in his darkness, sometimes I’d see sparks of light. I’d see gentleness. I’d see his soul.
We became entangled with one another as we fell into mistakes and called them fate. I was his Cinderella, and he was my Beast.
I wasn’t certain that twisted fairy tales ended with happily ever afters.
Still, I was determined to find out.

Art & Soul
Brittainy C. Cherry
I had always been the invisible art student in high school.
Passed by. Glossed over. Unnoticed.
Now I was Aria Watson… that girl.
After one bad decision, and being labeled a slut, I was no longer unseen. I was the whore. The ignoramus. The tramp.
I would never be invisible again.
Particularly to Levi Myers. He was the odd boy with the beautiful soul who accepted and understood the broken girl inside me.
Falling in love wasn’t the plan. But how could I resist his promises of hope? Of forgiveness? Of a future I had stopped dreaming of?
We were shattered. We were scarred. We were something strange and beautiful.
We were two lost souls holding on to the only thing that could keep us together.
Each other.

Loving Mr. Daniels
Brittainy C. Cherry
To Whom it May Concern,
It was easy to call us forbidden and harder to call us soulmates. Yet I believed we were both. Forbidden soulmates.
When I arrived to Edgewood, Wisconsin I didn’t plan to find him. I didn't plan to stumble into Joe's bar and have Daniel's music stir up my emotions. I had no clue that his voice would make my hurts forget their own sorrow. I had no idea that my happiness would remember its own bliss.
When I started senior year at my new school, I wasn’t prepared to call him Mr. Daniels, but sometimes life happens at the wrong time for all the right reasons.
Our love story wasn’t only about the physical connection.
It was about family. It was about loss. It was about being alive. It was silly. It was painful. It was mourning. It was laughter.
It was ours.
And for those reasons alone, I would never apologize for Loving Mr. Daniels.

O Silêncio das Águas
Brittainy C. Cherry
Momentos. A vida é uma sucessão de momentos. Alguns, profundamente dolorosos e cheios de mágoas do passado. Outros, cheios de esperança e promessas para o futuro. Tive muitos momentos na minha vida, momentos que me modificaram, que me desafiaram. Momentos que me assustaram e atormentaram. No entanto, os mais importantes - os momentos mais comoventes e arrebatadores - sempre o incluíram a ele. Eu tinha dez anos quando perdi a voz. Uma parte de mim foi -me roubada, e a única pessoa que conseguia ouvir verdadeiramente o meu silêncio era o Brooks Griffin. Ele era a luz dos meus dias escuros, a promessa do amanhã, até que a tragédia o encontrou. A tragédia que acabou por afogá-lo num mar de memórias. Esta é a história de um rapaz e de uma rapariga que se amavam um ao outro, mas não se amavam a si mesmos. Uma história de vida e de morte. De amor e de promessas quebradas.

One Thousand Wishes

If You Stayed
Brittainy C. Cherry
There once was a man who loved me, until he forgot every memory we've ever shared…
Gabriel Sinclair would forever be my first. My first best friend, my first kiss, my first love…and my first heartbreak. The accident that nearly took his life ripped the memory of me from his grasp—and for the last decades, I've let the guilt of that one terrible night keep us apart.
It took me years to make peace with the fact that he would no longer be in my life, so when he shows up as the architect for my new home, my world's tossed upside down. Now, I'm trapped in a loveless marriage, raising a child, while Gabriel stirs up feelings I thought long buried. It feels like my soul is waking up after years of being in a deep slumber—and my controlling husband will do whatever it takes to keep us apart.
I know I should push Gabriel away to protect him from the shadows surrounding me. Yet, I can't deny the hope that blooms whenever he's near—the chance that he might remember me, that we could reclaim the chapters of our story that we've lost.
Nothing good could come from us, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if this time...he stayed.
There once was a man who loved me… And now he's my only hope for tomorrow.

The Elements - Tome 04
Brittainy C. Cherry
Graham Russell and I weren’t made for one another.
I was driven by emotion; he was apathetic. I dreamed while he lived in nightmares. I cried when he had no tears to shed.
Despite his frozen heart and my readiness to run, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other’s secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pains. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.
Those seconds left us floating, but when reality knocked us sideways, gravity forced us to descend.
Graham Russell wasn’t a man who knew how to love, and I wasn’t a woman who knew how to either. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I’d fall with him forever.
Even if we were destined to crash against solid ground.
THE ELEMENTS T02 FIRE
Brittainy C. Cherry
There once was a boy, and I loved him.
Logan Francis Silverstone and I were complete opposites. I danced, and he stood still. He was quiet, while I ran my mouth. He struggled to find a smile, and I refused to frown.
The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn't look away.
We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.
Until the day I lost him. He threw us away with one hasty decision--a decision that changed us forever.
There once was a boy, and I loved him.
And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too.
Behind the Bars (Music Street, #1)

Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find.
And in a flash, she was gone.
Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans.
She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated.
Caged.
Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her.
Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again.
When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.
When we met again, I became her darkest storm.

Powietrze, którym oddycha (Żywioły, #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Ostrzegano mnie przed Tristanem Colem.
„Trzymaj się od niego z daleka”, mówili.
„Jest okrutny”.
„Jest zimny”.
„Życie go nie oszczędzało”.
Łatwo skreślić człowieka na podstawie jego przeszłości. Właśnie dlatego łatwo dostrzec w Tristanie potwora.
Ale ja nie potrafiłam tego zrobić. Zaakceptowałam spustoszenie, które w nim panowało. Sama czułam się bardzo podobnie.
Oboje wypełnieni pustką.
Oboje szukający czegoś innego. Czegoś więcej.
Oboje pragnęliśmy poskładać roztrzaskane fragmenty naszej przeszłości.
Może wtedy moglibyśmy nareszcie przypomnieć sobie, jak się oddycha.
The Problem with Dating
Brittainy C. Cherry
If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramírez would’ve been first on the list…
Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl. Even worse, he decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée.
After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.
But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.
So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town's best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romantic—at least, that was what we told ourselves.
As we played house, I couldn't help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn't listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly, our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.
With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn't help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for someone who was nothing more than make-believe?

Ich wusste nicht, warum mein Stiefvater mich in seinem Testament Damian Blackstone versprochen hatte.

Band 3 der emotionalen COMPASS-Reihe von SPIEGEL-Bestseller-Autorin Brittainy C. Cherry
Verliebt in Mr. Daniels
Brittainy C. Cherry
Unsere Liebe verboten zu nennen ist einfach. Einfacher, als zu erkennen, dass wir vom ersten Moment an Seelenverwandte waren. Ich denke, wir sind beides: verbotene Seelenverwandte.
Ich hatte nicht vor, mich in ihn zu verlieben, als ich nach Wisconsin kam. Ich hatte weder geplant, in Joes Bar zu stolpern, noch mich Hals über Kopf in Daniels Musik zu verlieren. Ich hatte ja keine Ahnung, dass allein seine Stimme all meine Sorgen wenigstens für einen kurzen Moment vertreiben könnte. Ich wusste nicht, dass sich so das Glück anfühlt.
Unsere Liebe war mehr als nur Leidenschaft. Es ging um Familie. Um Verlust. Um das Gefühl, wieder lebendig zu sein. Unsere Liebe war verrückt und schmerzhaft. Sie bestand aus Lachen und Weinen.
Sie war wie wir. Und allein deshalb werde ich es niemals bereuen, dass ich mich in meinen Lehrer Mr Daniels verliebt habe!

Durch die kälteste Nacht (Compass #1)
Brittainy C. Cherry
ICH HAB SO LANG IN DER DUNKELHEIT GELEBT, DASS ICH DEIN LICHT FAST VERGESSEN HÄTTE
Als ich Kennedy Lost das erste Mal nach all den Jahren wieder begegnete, hätte ich sie fortschicken sollen. Ich hätte ihr sagen müssen, dass sie nie wieder zurückkommen soll und dass ich sie nicht wiedersehen will, weil ich sie nicht brauche. Aber dann erkannte ich, dass sie kurz vor dem Ertrinken war, Ich sah, dass sie von Erinnerungen und Schuldgefühlen auf den Grund gezogen wurde. Die Traurigkeit in mir erkannte dieselbe Traurigkeit in ihr, und ich wusste plötzlich, dass nichts auf der Welt mehr zählte, als Kennedy das Gefühl zu geben, dass selbst dieser Teil von ihr es wert ist, geliebt zu werden - auch wenn mein eigenes Herz daran zerbrechen würde...
Wie das Feuer zwischen uns (Elements, #2)
Brittainy C. Cherry
Es gab einmal einen Jungen, den ich liebte.
Logan Francis Silverstone und ich waren das komplette Gegenteil. Ich tanzte, er stand still. Er brachte kein Wort heraus, ich hörte nie auf zu reden. Er konnte sich kaum ein Lächeln abringen, während ich zu keinem einzigen finsteren Blick fähig war.
Doch in der Nacht, als er mir die Dunkelheit zeigte, die in ihm tobte, konnte ich nicht wegsehen.
Wir waren beide zerbrochen und zusammen doch irgendwie ganz. Alles an uns war falsch, und doch fühlte es sich irgendwie richtig an.
Bis zu dem Tag, als ich ihn verlor.
Es gab einmal einen Jungen, den ich liebte.
Und ich glaube, ein paar Atemzüge lang, für einige wenige Momente liebte er mich auch.
