Toxic// Jason McCann

"You want to leave; everyone does.
It's just the effect I have on people.
And you hate me and I'm aware of it
But I can't let you go

No matter how hard I try ,
No matter how cold I try to be,
No matter how much I distance myself,
No matter how much I intoxicate myself.
I can't fucking forget you.

And I'm beginning to think
it's because you're the best
kind of intoxicant there is.

You stop the hurt and you
don't make me hurt after."

He rasped softly, hazel brown eyes coming to rest on mine.

Hardened criminal Jason McCann does not love. He does not care or show random acts of kindness or affection.

He kills, terrorises, breaks souls thought
unbreakable. Jason destroys others and
in turn, destroys himself. Over and over.

And he does not intend on changing.

So what happens when an extremely ordinary girl stumbles across his path,
right into his arms and into his toxic cycle?

Criminals can lie and languish.
Criminals can laugh and live.

And maybe, just maybe,
this criminal can learn to love.
