title: Shades of Evil
author: King, E.J.
description: When I looked at Kaylie, I couldn’t help but picture a future with her. I saw us dating, falling in love, and maybe even growing old together. Those dreams were a stark contrast from reality. And while I knew it would be easier in the long run for us to keep our distance, I no longer cared about making things easy.
  
  I wanted to hold her, wanted to kiss her. I wanted her to know how I felt about her. Maybe I would end up regretting that decision, but I didn’t care.
  
  I wanted to live, even if I died in the process.
