Bases Series by Hazel Grace

I've told him a million times his games and words won't deter me. That it means nothing when he questions the way I look at him. How my face turns crimson not because his searing eyes deadbolt onto mine fused with his sordid words or my space that he always tends to land in. Colson Hayes is delusional, conceited and he'll see how tired I am of his bullshit when I deliver some things I have up my own sleeve... moreI've told him a million times his games and words won't deter me. That it means nothing when he questions the way I look at him. How my face turns crimson not because his searing eyes deadbolt onto mine fused with his sordid words or my space that he always tends to land in. Colson Hayes is delusional, conceited and he'll see how tired I am of his bullshit when I deliver some things I have up my own sleeve. But as quickly as it all began, it ended — those eyes change towards me and I lost the thing he hated the most. We're at a crossroads, while I don't trust him and he won't settle for anything less than his baseball career. Question is, how far will we jump to find the truth before it’s too late to take back everything we’ve done to each other? less

Everything changed the day she broke up with that piece of shit I used to call my best friend. She was open season to the whole school, the whole town. Sawyer Boyd is becoming something I crave, I obsess over, someone I want to own with every ounce of my being. I thought it was because I wanted to know what all the hype was about, why every dude on the team wanted to taste and sample. The problem is, I’m afraid she’ll suck my heart from my chest with her sweet charm and make me change my plans... moreEverything changed the day she broke up with that piece of shit I used to call my best friend.

I thought it was because I wanted to know what all the hype was about, why every dude on the team wanted to taste and sample. The problem is, I’m afraid she’ll suck my heart from my chest with her sweet charm and make me change my plans. Plans that weren’t going to be changed for a redhead with a beautiful smile and freckles to match. I won’t be susceptible, vulnerable, and a fucking fool for throwing my life away over a chick who everyone seems to be hypnotized by. But the risk of not having her is too powerful for me to ignore, except it comes with another feeling laced into it — hate. less

I’ve survived it before, the loss of Colson Hayes. Experienced that tingling feeling of hope off my fingertips, one that begged me to hold on for dear life, only for it to melt away. Some people get a second chance but it was the second slap to the face by a vengeful past that always seems to sweep in and destroys us. I can’t compete with this one. Nor can I fend off the loss that swallows me whole... moreI’ve survived it before, the loss of Colson Hayes.

Nor can I fend off the loss that swallows me whole. He learns my truth, the very one that was supposed to set us free from the decade-old angst we had for each other. But then I learned his. And with that new little piece of reality, karma dealt us a hand that once again triggered the act of our demise. One I wasn't ready to play. less
