He was her boyfriend. But he always looked at me. Well, not at first, but now he does.
I was the quiet one. The girl overshadowed by her queen-bee bestie Lila Hartman. She was everything I wasn't.
Loud. Beautiful. Fearless.
And he was hers.
Until he started watching me.
Now he says he's always wanted me. That I was never invisible to him. That he only dated her to get closer.
I should walk away. Possibly even run.
But when someone like him wants someone like me, you don't run.
You fall.
Even if it kills you.

The Second Chance (Forbidden Romance)
"Will I ever find out why you call me Rose? That's not my name." I asked him playfully. "You are my "Rose". Beautiful and gentle to look at, but touching you hurts me." He answered seriously. "Why would it hurt you to touch me?" I asked him a little scared. "Because I know that when we are alone I can do it, but as soon as we appear in the light of the world, it becomes forbidden for me. And looking at someone who is forbidden to you without being able to touch them, hurts like hell."Complete
