"She was the kind of girl who could make dying beautiful. With a cigarette perched between her lips and scars ghosting across her skin, she made us believe that anything she did was an act, a performance, as if her life were nothing but prologue to the masterpiece that would be her death." M. K. Wilde *The cover was made by novellus*

"Can it ever be the same Evan?" I ask softly, snuggling farther into his chest. My arms tighten around him, not wanting to let go. He shakes his head no, "Never." A tear rolls down my cheek as he softly pulls himself off of me and looks down at me. He takes his hand and wipes away my tear, brushing my lips than surprises me by grabbing my cheek. Evan moves his other hand and grabs my waist. "Its gonna be so much better." And with that his lips were on mine and the fireworks set off in my stomach. ♡♡♡ Skylar is a goody-two-shoes, never drank, nor smoked, while Evan does that everyday. He's the leader a gang.
