#StanfieldBook2: ZekeSteele (#Wattys2016Winner Collector's Edition) "I've made mistakes out of my rebellion. But I embrace them because they made me who I am and what I am now. I found a brother, people I can trust, and a girl who meant the world to me... And I fell in love. I thought I don't deserve her love because I have always blamed myself for her brother's death. And she hated me for the past. We suppressed the feelings we had for each other, and buried them for so long. But it was a rebellious love. We couldn't fight it. We're weak against each other, and the only way to win was to lose."
