The Pact - Belle Harper

When we were ten we made a pact. 

When we were twelve she moved away.

Now she's sixteen and returned home.

Hunter:

We made the pact when we were ten.

It would be the end of our friendships, we said.

We all agreed. Mila was off limits.

I broke the pact when I was twelve...

I wont break it again.

Jace:

Mila was my best friend, my neighbor and first crush.

But she wasn't just mine.

We made a pact to save our friendships.

Only I broke that pact the day she left.

I won't make that mistake again.

Roman:

Mila was my sunshine, my fighter... my heart.

I broke the pact and she still left.

She destroyed me with that first and last kiss.

Now I fight the monsters alone.

I won't let her in again.

Mila:

Jace, Hunter and Roman.

The four of us were best of friends growing up.

The last time I saw them all, I kissed them goodbye.

I broke their pact before I left, thinking I would never return.

All three believe they were my first kiss.

But I will never kiss and tell.

They have made one thing very clear.

The pact still stands.
