I sucked in a breath, realizing for the first time what we were. A story of a Nemesis and a Villian with no chance at a happy ending. Where the prince doesn't save the princess. He tortures her. And the beauty doesn't sleep. She's stuck. In a nightmare.

The girl got a kiss on the lips from the boy who no longer howled at the moon and cried on a tree. On the forehead. Like friends do. Then he kissed her on the lips, like lovers do. Then he kissed the inside of her wrists, like soulmates do.

I will meet someone else. I will sleep with someone else. I will love someone el--" He cut me off with a searing kiss, slamming my back against the wall in the process. Lacing his fingers through mine, he pinned my hands to the wall beside my waist, caging me in. I growled, knowing we were somewhere public, doing something wrong."

She was in a probing mood, and I wasn't in the business of denying my mother anything, especially when she'd spent the past week throwing up mucus, retching all night. Dad had put pillows all around their bathroom floor, and they sat there all night, every night. I heard them talk and laugh and whisper. Whenever she felt good enough, anyway.

Ask me what I want again," I said softly, and she grinned, pressing her lips to my chest through my tee. "What do you want?" she murmured. Her hair smelled fantastic. Like flowers and how my fucking pillow was going to smell tonight. "Nothing. I'm done wanting things. I have everything I need now. Ask me how I feel." "How do you feel?" "In love." I breathed hard, burying my face in her hair. "I feel in love, and it's you that I love. So fuc..

She was my beauty, and I was her beast. But this was not a Disney flick. In real life, the beast goes back to his solitary life, a freak who lurks in the shadows and watches as his girl runs away back to the arms of her family.

Because that was the problem with society. It cared too much about who you fell in love with but never about the why. The why matters. The who is irrelevant (but the band was great, so there's that).

You are to me," he said frankly, his tone void of emotion. "And I'm not a whore." "I'm well aware. I'm not buying you, Luna. I'm merely making a point." "What is the point?" "That once you're with me, you won't be able to touch anyone else. Want anyone else. Feel for anyone else." I already know that, you fool.

In Japanese culture, the significance of the cherry blossom tree dates back hundreds of years. The cherry blossom represents the fragility and magnificence of life. It's a reminder of how beautiful life is, almost overwhelmingly so, but that it is also heartbreakingly short. As are relationships. Be wise. Let your heart lead the way. And when you find someone who's worth it--never let them go.
