For the rest of my life? His voice softens. Do you want that, Ella May? Do you want me eternally, infinitely, forever, till death do us part?
Jessica Sorensen

No, but I've never been one for wise ideas, he says. I believe in irrational, fleeting decisions that keep life interesting. And life needs to be interesting because we've got only one of them to live.

I've missed you, Ella May

He laughs, sucking his lip ring into his mouth. I promise I'll go easy on you. A naughty feeling dances inside me. What if I don't want you to go easy on me?

You're going to get yourself into a lot of trouble. Why? Because of her right there. Do you know what Daisy would do if you ever cheated on her. Move on to the next guy that told her she has nice tits. Okay, you're probably right on that one.

Pretend all you want, pretty girl. You and I know that deep down you’re secretly glad to be pressed up to my body.

It hurts to be around life. People don't understand how close death is, right over their shoulders, around the block, at the end of a street. It's everywhere.

I won't let that night ruin you forever. But it did, it broke me into a million pieces and blew them away in the wind, like crumbled leaves.
Jessica Sorensen
Image
I’m pretty certain my worthless heart shatters inside my chest, and she steals one of the pieces. If it didn’t already belong to someone else I probably would have handed her all the pieces right then and there.

He tastes like mint and need, as he overpowers me with his tongue.

Image
The vertical lines that run down his forearms are the most disturbing, thick and jagged as if someone took a razor to his skin. I wish I could run my fingers along them and remove the pain and memories that are attached to them.

Image
Like a feather in a dust storm, with no direction The Raven flies through life, helpless and omitted Until night declares and the wind expires. Then it flies to the land of stones and etchings And becomes an Ember, breaking away

See, the same old Ella still lives. He grins... She just needed a little push out.... No, she doesn't. She's gone forever. Try all you want, but I'm bringing her back.
Jessica Sorensen
Image
No. I just never wanted to throw them away. Even if they were broken. I still loved them.
Jessica Sorensen
Image
Actually I'm taking her for a ride, I say slyly, inching my hand up the back of Ella's leg and she slaps the back of my head playfully. I'm taking you for a ride in my car. And you think I'm the pervert.

You really need stitches, she tells me.Or you're going to have a scar. I try not to laugh. Stitches aren't going to help. They fix skin, cuts, wounds, heal stuff on the outside. Everything broken with me is on the inside. I can handle scars, especially one's on the outside.

Maybe if I try hard enough, we'll fall into each other and become one single person and we can share our pain instead of carrying it by ourselves.
