Neighbors by Hazel Kelly

I may be a sinner, but I once loved a saint.
I thought he was my forever…
But days after my eighteenth birthday, my forever changed in an instant, and I had no choice but to abandon
him.
On the plus side, at least I’m free now.
Free from everything but my darkest secret, the nightmares it provokes, and the knowledge that the choices I’ve made make me unworthy of love.
Or at least, the kind of love I knew with him.
But I had it once.
And in my darkest moments, its memory gives me strength.
