People screw up. People screw up a lot. We allow our own selfishness to overpower us at times. It happens. But you can’t allow that to tear you down. You can’t keep dwelling on your past choices, and your past actions, or else you’ll never learn from them.

Nicole Sobon (Deprogrammed (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #2))
It’s him. He is the reason that I have come alive. I take my time, leaning closer to him, letting him see in my eyes what I can’t say out loud. He makes me want to give instead of take, a first for me.
Nicole Reed (Beautiful Ink (Forever Inked, #1))
Hope. It was both the best thing and the worst thing that could happen to a person. It had the ability to consume a person, to become them. I used to believe in the idea of hope before I saw what it had done to Hayden – what I had done to Hayden.

He’s safe, I repeated to myself over and over again. But even I knew it wasn’t the truth. For now he was safe, but they’d find him. Eventually they’d find him, they always do. I was supposed to protect him. I was supposed to keep him alive. Instead I’d brought him directly into the lion’s pit.

I knew it was a terrible idea. We were supposed to be leaving our past behind us, not fully embracing it. But she was a part of my past that I wanted to hold onto. She was my only reminder of Tommy, my only remaining connection. I couldn’t let that die, not yet.
Nicole Sobon (Program 13 (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #1))
What’s about to happen?” I know the answer, but I’m playing with our fire. I want to hear it from his lips. His eyes widen, but he smiles, figuring out my game. “I’m taking you to my house, and I’m putting you to bed.” His grin gets a little wider before he finishes, “With me in you.

Go to dinner with me?” His voice whispers against my ear. I start to shake my head when his fingertip lightly traces the birdcage tattoo on my arm. My eyes shut at the sensation. His touch. “I dream about you almost every night.” Join the club, buddy, I want to tell him. I dream about me every night, too… well, until I met him. Now I dream too damn much about him. “Just one date and I will leave you alone if you never want to see me again. Deal?” I open my eyes to gaze into his. There are too many things happening at once. Everything within me says to tell him no. Nothing good can come of this. I know what I have to tell him. “Dinner, not a date,” I say, looking him square in the eyes. Holy hell! What did you just do, Keller? Really? Seriously? He grins, not hiding his happiness at my words. I step away, allowing him time to button his shirt up. “Dinner then dessert, and, Keller, it will definitely be a date,” he says,

Tattooing is more than a job, more than a hobby. It is an intimate, emotional, and powerful thing to be marking someone for life. I am giving over a part of myself forever. In return, I am fully in control of my world and everything around me, if only for that small gap in time. When a piece is carefully thought out and has meaning to my customer, it has double the value to me. I am tied to the art in blood and ink, a part of my soul to be admired by countless others or hidden to be savored only by the wearer.

But do you think our futures are already determined for us?” “Why are you asking all of this? What’s going on?” I let out a small laugh. “Remember when we were in the hallway?” He nodded. “Well, Thirteen tried telling me that I couldn’t escape my fate and that there was no point in fighting the inevitable.” “Do you think it is inevitable?” he asked. “Me?” I scoffed. “No. Nothing is ever guaranteed. One minor adjustment can alter everything. Nothing is ever set in stone. As of right now, we’re all on one path: we’re all stuck inside of this hell that we’re trying to escape, and it may seem like the outcome has already been determined for us, but it hasn’t. The smallest of things could change everything. A death. Deception. Anything could force us to follow another path, and you know what? We determine that path, not fate.” “What path do you see yourself on?” Colton hopped up onto the computer desk, tucking his hands underneath his thighs. “I see us starting new lives outside of this place, far from McVeigh and his men,” I answered honestly. “But I know not all of us will make it out of here. There is still more pain to come our way, but there is also happiness if we allow for it.

The sun’s rays reflected beautifully upon the water, creating a magnificent glistening effect over the waves. The pier to the left was docking ships, while on the right, a ferry took off into the open waters. It was a beautiful sight to watch; how small everything looked in something as big as the ocean. It reminded me of people, how we were just a small part of what made up the world. Our numbers might be large, but we were not alone in this world. We were insignificant to nature.
Nicole Sobon (Program 13 (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #1))
I’d spent my entire life in Seattle, watching others pass me by, day after day, completely oblivious to me. I remained along the background. I was an outsider; the eye looking in on the world around me. I was the puppet eager to cut her strings. I had witnessed the transformation humans must undergo in order to become Programs. I had watched as their humanity was stripped from them while they lay motionless, their hearts barely beating. My uncle had told the others that he only took bodies of the deceased, but those of us who had spent time in the operating rooms knew differently.
Nicole Sobon (Allegiance (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #1.5))
I’d been so closed off from the world, that I’d never known true love – until I met Hayden. Seeing the way that he cared for his sister, how he was willing to risk his life in order to rescue her? It showed me that love knows no bounds, and that it can be the most powerful thing in the world, because even death couldn’t kill his love for his sister.
Nicole Sobon (Allegiance (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #1.5))
Does it truly make a difference how I’m alive?” I asked him. But he didn’t answer. I walked over to where Hayden stood, resting my hand on his. I looked at the photo he held before making my way along the wall. Every photo was of our family. The family that existed before the accident. The family that existed before I was struck by a car. I wasn’t supposed to remember it, but I did. When they exported my memories and my life from my body, every trace of the accident was supposed to be erased. But it still remained. You can’t erase death. That was what Hayden was trying to tell me. No matter how much he wanted to forget, he couldn’t.
Nicole Sobon (Program 13 (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #1))
I slumped down against the wall and pulled my knees up beneath my chin. “Sometimes it just feels as though we’re fighting for nothing; as though all of this is nothing more than a never ending cycle of pain.” “But isn’t that all life is?’ Grant countered. “A never ending cycle of pain that we learn to maneuver? Isn’t it all about finding the tiniest bits of happiness, and making something out of them? I mean, life will never be perfect. It’s meant to have its ups and downs. You just have to learn to make it worthwhile, even when it feels as though the world itself is collapsing around you.
Nicole Sobon (Rebooted (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #3))
You have to admit, his voice gets you wetter than a cucumber in a women's prison
Nicole Reed (Cake)
She had been reprogrammed. She knew how to protect herself from intruders – from me. That was the worst part of it all. I was an outsider inside of my own body.
Nicole Sobon (Deprogrammed (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #2))
Haven’t you ever heard the saying that our pasts do not define us?” I countered, growing frustrated. “I screwed up, Hayden. I admitted that. Why can’t you let it go?” “Let it go?” He sneered. “You are the reason my sister is a Program. Please, tell me how I’m supposed to let something like that go? Because I’d love to know.” Footsteps sounded from outside of the holding cell, essentially ending our conversation. I still had much to say to him, but for now, I welcomed the silence. The silence was much more comforting than the truth.
Nicole Sobon (Deprogrammed (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #2))
You’re going to turn me into one of them, aren’t you?” “That is what my uncle expects from me, but I can’t do that to you.” “Except you will,” he said, dropping his arm to his side. “Humans are weak individuals. We will do anything and everything in order to protect ourselves – any morals we have instinctively go out the door when it comes down to life or death. And as you’ve already shown, you’re no different from the rest of us.
Nicole Sobon (Deprogrammed (The Emile Reed Chronicles, #2))
This cell was a form of hell. I was trapped in my past, unable to escape my mistakes, forced to relive them each time a new body was brought in. It was tortuous, and so much like my uncle.
