Amour’s Reviews > Releasing 10 > Status Update

“I’ll always love you, Hugh Biggs,” Liz said when she rounded the table and stopped in front of me. Inhaling a quivering breath, she leaned down and pressed a kiss to my cheek before whispering, “No matter what.” And then she was gone.

“Claire told me you started seeing someone,” she whispered, reaching over the table with her free hand to stroke my hair. “I want you to know it’s okay.” I broke down. I couldn’t help it. Right there in the middle of school, I cried my fucking heart out.
(My God how I’m gonna wait for the next books this series is goddam 5 million ⭐️ ‘s)

“I want you to have the best life imaginable. Nobody deserves it more than you.” “Liz…” “And I want you to move on from me,” she said, choking on the words like they physically pained her. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about it or think you’re doing something wrong, because you aren’t. Because you are too amazing of a person to spend your life stuck on a fuckup like me.”
(Literal pain😭)

“I know you need to stay away from me,” she breathed, body racking with tremors. “And I know why you can’t be my friend anymore, but I just want you to know that I am so grateful to have had you in my life.” A pained sob escaped her when she said, “I’ll never have a greater friend, Hugh Biggs, or a greater love.”
( This book is so damn sad😭😭😭😭😭)

THE MOMENT I LOCKED EYES ON HER IN THE COURTYARD, EVERY HARD-EARNED SLIVER of my battered pride evaporated. As for my heart? It returned to her like a faithful boomerang. Because unlike my brain, it couldn’t be tricked into forgetting about her.
( I’m unwell 💔)

I’D LONG SINCE ACCEPTED THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I WOULD ALWAYS LOVE LIZZIE Young. My heart didn’t have an eject button; therefore, she would never lose her place inside of it. She just had to change spots if I ever found someone else.—Hugh

“Then what happened?She decided this,” I heard myself admit, and Christ did I hate the way my voice cracked when the admission escaped my lips. “She doesn’t love me anymore, Mam.” “I don’t believe that for a second,” Mam argued gently. “Teenage girls don’t cry over boys like this when they’re not in love.” That hit me hard. Fucking gutted me. Tore my heart to ribbons
(Not me sobbing again😭

Part 19: The Great Betrayal

Which begged the question, how could Johnny relate to what I was going through with Liz? How could he understand that a girl came before rugby for me? He couldn’t. Maybe one day, a girl would walk into his world and bring him to his knees, like Liz did to me, but until that day came, it was easier to say nothing.
(Yeah and that would be Shannon💗💗)

“Don’t regret me, Hugh,” I said quietly. “Never,” he vowed, embracing me with tenderness. “You’re the only part of my life I can’t plan for.” He pressed a kiss to my lips. “And the only part I can’t live without.”
