Perfectly Imperfect

(Will be taken down for revision Feb.28th)

"You're bleeding."

"Nothing that wasn't worth it." He smirked, looking into my eyes.

"Here, let me help." I said, finding a washcloth from a drawer. I dampened it and carefully put it up to his lip. He winced, closing his eyes momentarily before opening them and looking at me. We stayed quiet for a few moments, me focusing on the washcloth pressed to his lip and him keeping his eyes locked on me.

He slowly lifted his hand to grab onto mine, as he gently pulled it away from his face. I looked up to meet his expression, his eyes filled with unrecognizable emotion. My breath hitched in my throat as I found myself willing my lips to speak, before they did what they were suddenly desperately yearning to do.

"Thank you. For what you did, I mean. I really appreciate it." I said sincerely.

"Anything for you Red."


Sadie thought she had it all; a perfect home with the perfect parents and the best friend a girl could have. Not only did she think she had it all, she thought she HAD to have it all. Not out of vanity, but out of sheer fear of not being perfect herself. When bad news turns her world upside down, and distorts her sense of perfection, she runs. And that running leads her straight to Bentley..a guy who is anything but perfect, and everything she really needs.
