KEANU
Selena played me.
Confirming I wasted years loving someone who didnโt love me back.
It should be easy to move on, but since she dumped me, I canโt shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I try.
Dates and random hookups donโt help, because no one measures up to the girl I still love with my whole heart.
When she appears at my door, begging me for help, I canโt turn her away. My protective instincts kick in, and I grasp this second chance with both hands.
This time, Iโm determined to open her eyes.
To help her realize she made a mistake throwing what we had away.
To prove our love is the real deal.
SELENA
Keanu has it all wrong.
I let him go because I love him too much to continue holding him back.
And Iโve paid for it every day since.
I didnโt think it was possible to miss someone this much, but my entire being aches for him in a way that isnโt healthy.
Itโs why I continue to keep my distance even though itโs killing me inside.
No one understands me the way he does, so, when my ugly past returns, threatening to undo years of progress, heโs the first person I run to.
If anyone can keep me safe, itโs the love of my life.
Maybe, this time, Iโm strong enough to be the woman he deserves.
If my past doesnโt take me from him first.
