“I feel a brush over my arm where Penn stood just a second ago. It's Knight. And next to Knight stands Vaughn. 'Cole?' Gus twists his lips, glowering. 'What the fuck?' Knight clasps a hand on my shoulder, hitching a shoulder up while lighting a joint. 'The fuck is, you don't fuck with my family and integrity and assume you get out of it in one piece. Or, you know, at all.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaKnight ColeVaughn Spencer Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
“He pulls me into a hug. A rarity I know not to take for granted when it comes to Vaughn. I bury my face in his chest and let myself crumple, feeling my bones shaking inside my body.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaVaughn Spencer Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
“Knight and Vaughn are the closest to each other, practically brothers, which is weird because they are also like fire and ice. Vaughn is a crazy artist with psychotic tendencies, and Knight is the definition of a popular jock. One is Edward Scissorhands; the other is Zac Efron's prettier long-lost brother.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaKnight ColeVaughn Spencer Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
“I'm turning my back on Vaughn and Knight without saying goodbye because I know they won't let me go. They'll promise to protect me and fight my battles at school, and a part of me still wants that to happen.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaKnight ColeVaughn Spencer Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
“The snake pit is crowded tonight. It always is when Vaughn fights, and Vaughn always fights. He breaks noses almost as well as he breaks hearts.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaVaughn Spencer Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
“Mom and Dad clap. Bailey jumps up and down. Knight gives us a thumbs-up, and Vaughns rolls his eyes but smiles. Luna, Addy, Harper, and Camilo look at us likek they've won something. Happy in our happiness. And that's what good friends and families do. They pick you up and pull you out of the mud of your own mistakes. And when you're not the best version of yourself? Well, they're still there, waiting, because we're all fucking human.” Daria FollowhillPenn ScullyPretty RecklessAll Saints HighPenndariaKnight ColeVaughn SpencerLuna Rexroth Book:Pretty Reckless Source: Pretty Reckless
