"promise me you're not gonna tell anyone" billie lowly told me while interlocking our pinkies together. "because if you do, i'll kill you, got it?" "is that a threat?" i giggled at her. "i'm being serious" she raised her brows up and looked at me. "i will kill you" "i promise" i sighed. "don't break it" promises always get broken, don't they?

nariya knew better. she opened the door anyway. falling in love again was never the plan. letting billie ruin her twice might be.
