[Cherry Lips 01] • Hard Rock Crush

Recording contract. Adoring fans. Industry respect.

I have everything I always wanted.

But I’m so close to f*cking it up.

All because of him.

Liam Knight. My musical idol. My inspiration. My savior.

He stirs up feelings I’ve forgotten, memories I’ve suppressed. I want his lips on mine. I want his hands on my skin. I want his arms wrapped around me, never letting go.

Liam says I’m a star. We both are. He says we’ll burn brighter together.

But I know better. I had it all once. And I lost it. I’ll never let that happen again.

Because, sometimes, after a star burns out…

It collapses into a black hole, consuming everything in its path.
