Contributor(s): Author: Charleigh Rose BRIAR I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother\'s window five years ago.
But she\'s always been my drug of choice.
I hate her for what she did.
My downfall.
She\'s my best friend\'s baby sister.
Three years have passed and I\'m forced to see her again, but now she\'s all grown up.
I risked everything for a kiss and she betrayed me.
Eventually, the temptation became too much to resist.
She was too good and I was too fucked up.
I was too old and she was too off limits.
We could never be together.
She was just a kid, nothing but elbows and knees, but she was the most beautiful creature I\'d ever seen.
ASHER I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her big, blue eyes.
But like a Bad Habit, I can\'t quit him.
I should hate him.
My parents\' worst nightmare.
He\'s my brother\'s best friend.
Callous and cruel.
Now, three years later, he\'s back.
Until one day, he was gone without a trace.
As I got older, harmless flirting turned to stolen moments in dark corners.
But the heart is rebellious, and mine decided it didn\'t care about any of those things.
He was too troubled, and I was too naive.
I was too young, and he was too untouchable.
We couldn\'t ever be together.
Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I\'d ever seen.
