I’m alive because of him. I should be grateful and move on like he did.  \nImpossible.  \nYears have passed since that night, and I still can’t get him out of my mind.  \nThat’s why I’m back in town. Why I’m not going anywhere.  \nWhy I don’t question my fixation on him, even when I catch him doing  \nthings he shouldn’t.  \nWe’re meant to be.  \nSlowly but surely, he’s starting to see it too, growing as obsessed with me  \nas I am with him.  \nThe only problem is, he won’t open up about the dark secret I uncovered  \nwhile stalking him.  \nIf he thinks I need protecting from that side of him, he’s wrong. I’m not  \nfragile. I won’t break.  \nBut since he doesn’t know it yet, I’ll have to do something drastic to  \nconvince him   And hope it doesn’t backfire on us.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nOmido, Rick Jansen, Ordell—“Outta My Head”  \nElvis Drew—“Make Me Feel”  \nJames Blake—“Retrogade”Elliott Smith—“Between the Bars”  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPROLOGUE  \n“ O  \nLilith  \nSeven years ago  \nn three,” a man calls out.  \nIt’s not the same one who kept telling me to stay with him on the ride here, to the hospital. His voice was a little high-pitched.  \nThis new man’s voice is deeper. Low, steady.  \nReassuring.  \nBut I can’t focus on it for too long. There are hands touching me. Each one lands on a bruise. A cut. My arm, I think it might be broken.  \nMom really went all out tonight.  \n“One…” a woman starts counting. Please, be careful. Everything hurts.  \nAs much as I want to say these things, it’s hard. My throat is raw and scratchy from screaming. Even if it weren’t, I’m too drained to speak.  \nMaybe if I open my eyes, they’ll see what I’m trying to tell them. I try. Try. Try.  \nAnd fail.  \nMy swollen eyelids are too heavy. My entire body is.  \nDammit.  \n“Two…” she continues, unaware of my rising panic.  \nI can’t handle any more pain tonight.  \nPlease.","cbCait0B9r26BKhv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait0B9r26BKhv","pdf",2727644,9,311,"English","en",105,"# A Note from the Author\n# About the Book\n# Playlist\n# Prologue\n# 1.
