"I like you."
God, I wish she'd stop saying that. Even I could tell she put me before everyone else. I couldn't do that for her. She was nowhere near most important in mine. "God, shut up. I can't do this. I have friends. I have my dad. I have a life."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and I could tell she was fighting hard to not let it show. My heart lurched in my chest. Damn, was I really falling for her? No, I wasn't. She wasn't important. She couldn't be.
"I've waited 4 years for you." Her voice shook and another pang of guilt stabbed at my gut.
"You waited too long, Chanse."
I turned and walked away, leaving her behind without so much as a glance back.

Bad boy Evan Chandler is a guy with a torn up past. With his mom in jail for arson, a dad who's always getting drunk, and a sister who left home to live with their grandmother, Evan doesn't trust anyone.
Chanse Holland is an all around good girl. She has two loving parents and a big house in the woods. Her life is normal until she falls for Evan Chandler, the opposite in what her parents expect for her in a lover.
When the two start getting close, will Chanse put her trust in someone who pushes people away? Will Evan hand over his heart to the one person in the world who has the power to break it?
