Drugs. Alcohol. Fame. Just a few of my addictions. It’s time to kick every last one of them because they’re slowly killing me. I flush the drugs. Empty the bottles of booze. Quit the movie I’m supposed to begin filming next week. I commit career suicide and head to the middle of nowhere to get clean. They send me a sober companion to hold my hand. Only problem is, they send my greatest weakness. Jessica Calvary. I’m screwed. Jack Kingsley. Hollywood elite. Hot, cocky and untouchable. Everyone wants a piece of him. Everyone but me. I’ve had my piece of Jack, and it broke me. Now he’s smack bang in the middle of my life again. He’s still hot. And cocky. But he’s not untouchable. No, he’s very touchable, and he’s doing everything to get my hands on him. Pray for me.

Jack Kingsley

“As much as I want to keep you here forever, I know it’s costing you to stay, sweetheart. Go home.” 

And that right there is why Jack is one of my seven people even though I’ve told him I don’t want to be his friend again. The man might have his faults, but he loves so completely and selflessly that I can never not love him back.

The thing I’ve come to is this: maybe pain isn’t bad. Maybe its purpose is to help us feel the good so deeply it brings us the kind of joy that no manufactured high will ever give us.
