The After Effect by _eMKay

[HIGHEST RANK: #9 in People] "Just because you don't like him back doesn't give him the right to treat you like that." "Sometimes it's so hard for people to accept certain things, that, it just drives them off the cliff." "Even until the end, you're saying no... I guess this is why I liked you so much." "SHUT THE DOOR!!" "One of us isn't going to leave here at all. One of us will have to be carried out." "If you're going to be like that... then don't even think of coming near her." "It'll be like this from now on. This dark... this quiet... and the last face I'll see... will be yours." Not every crush is innocent. _______________________ Add to your reading list and follow me to get instant updates!
