Loves Me Not by Alexis Winter

I read somewhere once that you only get one true love in a lifetime,
And mine—mine was Wyatt Slade.
Fierce, wild, reckless…that boy was my everything.
Until he shattered my heart.
He was my first.
The day he slipped that promise ring on my finger,
I gave him all of me—there was no going back.
So when I saw him kiss my best friend, I knew I had to get the hell out.

The thing about growing up in a one stoplight town,
When you finally come back home, everybody knows.
It feels like every corner here has a story—a memory.
One I’ve been running from for ten years.
But the moment my eyes land back on Wyatt,
It’s like I’ve fallen in love all over again.
A decade spent running from my heart and here I am back in his arms,
Ready to embrace a new future, and let our past go.
I swore I’d never trust him again,
He swore he’d never hurt me again.
Never say never…
Will we actually get our second chance at forever,
Or are we destined to repeat our past?
