Broken Series by Ellie Messe

Mama didn’t come home. Daddy liked to hit. Brothers followed suit. So I ran. I ran from that life. I ran from myself. I ran into him. I have no experience with the game board we’re playing on, and that makes this a lethal game. One wrong move and my heart could land in the fire he’s created inside me. Worse, it could lead my past to his doorstep and it won’t just be my blood that taints this floor. I should run. I need to run... moreMama didn’t come home. Daddy liked to hit.

I don’t need love or romance; I just want to forget. I’m a hungry man, plain and simple. I’ve got a bomb ass family, great job, and a f*ckable face. Everything is perfect on the outside; it’s the inside that’s f*cked up. People die, relationships fall apart, good people turn ugly, and others leave you in the dust. That’s life. The only problem is when shit gets too dark, and you’re no longer able to lose yourself between some girls thighs, what the f*ck are you supposed to do? Like I don’t have enough demons trying to claw free. I just need to lose myself in some piece of pussy that doesn’t reek of tequila. I don’t need love, f*ck; I don’t want it. I just want to forget.

Eight days since I lost them both in a car accident. Seven nights I’ve held my nephew as he relives the crash he survived. Six casseroles sit on the kitchen counter from neighbors who don’t actually care. Five fingers drum against the wooden grain to my right. Four bodies try to ignore the growing tension in the room. Three years since I’ve seen the man who’s almost here. Two car doors shut. One doorknob twists. This was me Before Us... moreEight days since I lost them both in a car accident.
