"What's the point of girls going to college? Ultimately, you'll get a job making three to five grand a month. We're pretty—why not use our looks while we're young? In just a few years, we could earn millions. Then, when we've had our fill, we marry some honest guy. Isn't that perfect?"
Bianca's words reached Jasper's ears that day.
I remembered how furious he had been, his face red, veins bulging as he cursed her.
"You're nothing but a parasite, a maggot crawling in the sewers. Twisted values like yours are disgusting. I don't want Katie being friends with someone like you ever again!"
Who would've thought that same righteous, sun-kissed boy would one day fall for her?
It was all a complete joke—one that not only humiliated him, but me too.
When did I first realize the two of them were together?
When Bianca was two months pregnant.
I could stay there calmly today because over the past eleven months, I had turned every drop of rage into cold, hard reason.
It's still fresh in my mind the day I went into town to see Jasper.
As always, he drew me into bed, clinging to me for over half an hour.
Every time it was over, Jasper would fall asleep almost instantly.
