Love Me Like You Won't Let Go

You never get over your first love. It's something I've heard countless times. Like someone has to point out that your pain will never go away. That your shattered heart will never mend.Because that's exactly what my heart did the day I watched Asher Evans board that train- it shattered, splintering into a million tiny fragments that I didn't think I'd ever be able to piece back together. He was the boy I had loved since I understood what loving someone meant. The one who knew me inside and out. The one who swore he'd never let me go. It's been six years since that day and even now the memory haunts me like it was yesterday.I've done my best to move on, to rebuild, and for the most part I've done pretty well. But all of that comes crashing down when Asher strolls back into town like he never left.I don't want to want him. I certainly don't want to need him. But that doesn't stop me from doing it anyway. Only things are different now. I'm different. I'm not the girl he left behind all those years ago. I may have been foolish enough to give him my heart once but I won't make that mistake a second time. Or at least that's what I tell myself until I'm standing face to face with the one man who has the power to break me all over again.Love Me Like You Won't Let Go is a complete standalone.
