Don't love me

"You know, Sophie," he began, his voice low and hesitant, "whenever I see a girl cry, I usually walk away. I can't handle it. But when I see you cry..." His words faltered, and he glanced down, gathering the courage to continue. After a steadying breath, he lifted his gaze back to mine. "When I see you cry, all I want to do is pull you into my arms and make sure you know everything is going to be alright."

His confession hung in the air, his intense gaze searching my face. The vulnerability in his voice sent a wave of emotion crashing over me, and before I could stop it, a single tear escaped, trailing down my cheek.

He reached out, his touch achingly gentle, and wiped it away with his thumb, his fingers lingering as if to reassure me without words.

And in that moment, I broke. I collapsed into his arms, letting his warmth shield me from the cold ache inside. With him here, holding me like this, it felt as if the entire world had finally aligned, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn't alone.

When Sophie Wilson moves from Virginia to the quiet town of Madison to escape the pain of her parents' death, she dreams of a fresh start. A normal life. A chance to focus on her studies and leave the haunting memories behind.

But life rarely goes as planned. Sophie never expected to catch the attention of Chace Grayson, the school's enigmatic bad boy with a reputation that precedes him.

As their worlds collide, Sophie finds herself drawn to Chace despite her better judgment. Yet, the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes that her past isn't as distant as she thought-and Chace might hold the key to secrets she's been running from.

This is the story of a girl with a broken past and the boy who could either help her heal or shatter her completely. Will Sophie find the strength to face her demons, or will the weight of the truth crush her once and for all?
