They say in order to find yourself you have to go home.
What if home was what you're running from?
Where did that leave you?
Always on the other side of the fence.
Always looking in.
Always wishing you were someone you couldn't be.
Until one day you meet her.
The one.
She was my high, but she was also...
My demise.
Colors
blended together making it hard to focus on one thing. I blinked a few times
and just like that…
I
saw her face.
As
if she was standing right in front of me.
Smiling.
Happy.
Laughing.
My
whole world…
My
girl.
I
felt my lips curl up slightly at the vision as I reached out for her. Wanting
to touch her, needing to hold her, yearning to kiss her. Craving, God, craving
to fucking love her.
“I’m
sorry,” I murmured out loud to no one but the illusion of my drug-infested
mind. “I’m so fucking sorry,” I repeated repentantly, longing for her to
believe me.
Aching
for her to love me again like she used to.
I
don’t know how long I sat there, staring at her beautiful face before my eyes,
subconsciously rubbing the tattooed key that was placed over my heart. I
couldn’t take it anymore, and the desire won over the haze.
It
was too powerful.
It
was too vivid.
I
grabbed my phone. “Baby,” I said into the speaker. The ringing quickly
followed, going straight to voicemail. I hung up and tried again. “Baby,” I
urged with desperation in my tone.
Still
nothing.
I
tried again and again and again.
I
would try until the end of time if that’s what it took for her to answer.
To
talk to me.
To
save me.
To
crave me.
Time
just seemed to standstill, as my life slowly played out in front of me. Trying
to balance in between the light and the darkness when all I could see was gray.
“What?!”
she screamed into the phone, finally answering after I don’t know how many
failed attempts. “What the hell do you want now?”
“Mi
cielo.” I breathed a sigh of relief.
She
ignored my term of endearment. I hadn’t called her that in such a long time.
My
heaven.
“What
do you want, Austin? Why are you calling me? We’re over! I can’t do this
anymore!”
I shut
my eyes and let my mind wonder, allowing it to go to another place in time
where she didn’t hate me.
“I
remember the first time I made you smile,” I chuckled, as if it had just
happened.
My
nerves were on fire. The mere sound of her breathing through the phone was too
intense for me. I licked my lips, my mouth suddenly dry.
“I
remember when you used to smile just for me. Do you remember, baby? Do you
remember what my love feels like?”
I
heard her faintly breathing.
“Do
you remember my hands on you? My lips? My tongue? The first time I made you
come with my mouth? Do you remember all the times since? Tell me I’m not
forgotten. Tell me you remember, baby.”
Silence.
“I
love you, Briggs. I love you so fucking much. You’re killing me, don’t you see
that? I’m dying without you.”
“No,
Austin. You were dying with me,” she rasped, knowing that it killed her to say
that.
“The
first time I saw your face, I thought to myself, damn, this beautiful girl is
goin’ to be the death of me. You were perfect in every way. I was a cocky son
of a bitch who needed you then, as much as I need you now.”
More
silence.
“I
had a dream about you, baby. I always fucking dream about you. In my dream you
had a ring on your finger. A ring I put there. You belonged to me. Only mine.
Forever fucking mine. You were pregnant, Briggs. You looked so goddamn happy. I
saw light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in years.”
She
sniffled into the phone.
“I
made love to you. Slow, just the way you love. Taking my time to touch every
last inch of your body. Memorizing every last bit of you. Making you come until
you begged me to stop. I didn’t.”
“I
can’t—” she tried to interject, but I didn’t let up.
“I
kissed your stomach. Our baby. Letting my lips linger there, whispering sweet
lullabies, letting her know daddy will always be there. Baby, it was so real.
For a second I gave you the one thing you so desperately wanted, the one thing
I can’t give you.”

My Review:
My Review:
Wow! This book about gutted me. I had so many different
emotions when reading this story that I literally almost didn’t have time to
take a breath. This is the final story in the Good Ol' Boys saga and the author saved the best , in my opinion,
for last. This is Austin's and Briggs (Daisy) story.
They are two characters who
come from different backgrounds, different parts of the state , one comes from
close knit friends and family, while the other has not much by way of family or
friends and lives in isolation and they both feel out of place yet they meet and
its Fate. They meet and have this feeling of not fitting in but together feel a
kinship. In each other there is a familiar constant- Pain and loneliness. A
deep ache and its just something that is a constant but when they are together,
it doesn’t seem to be so constant.
Austin suffers and he takes
drugs to self-medicate because he has a personal pain and yet Briggs(Daisy)
sticks with him because she loves him so much. Yet she
despairs if she will ever get the Austin that she feel in love with back. It’s
a constant push/pull with him. Addiction is the theme in this last story of the
Good Ol’Boys and of the pain it brings. There are so many different emotions
and feelings that is brought forth. I can only tell you that the number of
years the story spanned, I felt so bad for Austin and Briggs. Austin truly loved
Briggs and it took until his last attempted OD for him to really wake up and
realize what he had lost. Then he had the fight of his life on his hands- the
fight to get his life back on track and to get back his self-respect, his life
and his own self-worth. But then is it will he win back the love of his life
Briggs/Daisy or will they go their own way? You can say “I’m Sorry” so many
times until the other person tunes you out and doesn’t hear that anymore, its
actions that speak louder than words and that is what the author paints for you
in this book.
This book really gives you a
beautiful story of addiction, loss, darkness and light and also of passion and
love. I cant say enough good about this powerful love story.
My rating: 4.8 stars *****
