I tucked jealousy in my pocket for far too long.

Telling myself, it was easier to bite my tongue and get over it instead of the busted knuckles' worth of backlash.

Olallie deserved better than a best friend.
And I deserve better than playing second best.
She was once my angel with blue eyes, but she stands by the devil's side. Lawson may have been Olallie's warped savior. But he was still my enemy.

I am angry from feeling underestimated. Too late to back down now, I wasn't born a bad boy, but it doesn't mean I haven't been observing the cruelty. They wanted me to obey, but I'm ready to rebel. They called me baby brother, but I wonder what they'll think when I lift my head to fight back this time.

If I am going to burn, I might as well laugh along the way. My new flame mocks the patriarchy, and I can't be caught quiet.

It's hard falling out of love with your best friend, but I only hope the wild girl can make me forget the tamed lamb.



?I've courted a new bride, and this time, the spitfire is all mine.?
