Remember When We

Gio

She was my best friend's little sister. That meant she was forbidden to me. Women like her didn’t belong in our dark world. Didn't stop me though . . . I went where I shouldn't and lost track of the dangers that lurked around us. My irresponsibility cost my best friend, her brother, his life.

I left home to keep her safe . . . and I knew leaving would break her heart. Guilt made me stay away, and I found peace in knowing she was better without me. But ,when I saw her again I forgot all the reasons why I was bad for her. All the reasons why I left. Leaving her once was hard. Leaving her twice feels like a mistake I don’t want to make. Especially when I think she’s in trouble . . .

Lyssa

When I saw Gio again I caved and gave into the temptation of him. God forbid if he finds out my secrets. He has a son he didn't know about and I made a deal with a devil who wants my body as payment if my father can't pay his debts.

When I'm with Gio I want him to save me, but I don’t want him to break me like he did last time. I want to be his like I was before, and remember when we belonged to each other.
