Forgetting Roman

{prologue}

A/N: Hi everyone! First of all thank you so much for giving this a read, it really means a lot to me. This is my new novel for the new year and I'm really looking forward to writing more of this! Also, this is the first draft of Forgetting Roman. There will be mistakes throughout this entire novel so please ignore them for the moment. Once I'm completely done with this story, I will go back and edit when I have time to spare.

I am currently in my last semester of my senior year so that means I'm months away from graduating! So keep that in mind when my updates are a bit spaced out.

Also, this story is going to be a bit darker than my usual style of writing. It's going to have some topics that most people don't like talking about- including myself [for personal reasons]. However, in reality things like this happen all the time. I DO NOT promote anything that I write in here. If you are feeling depressed and suicidal, please reach out to someone.

There will be mentioning of alcohol, drugs, self-harm, and such. Not every chapter will be filled with these things, heck, some will never be mentioned directly. So if none of these things are not your cup of tea, then I suggest you do not continue reading.

However, if you don't mind any of the topics being mentioned then I hope you continue reading!

My goal for this story is to write something many can relate to.

Not to 'glamorize' or 'romanticize' the struggles that I will portray throughout this story. Self-harm and acts of such are not beautiful and no one (male or female) should need someone else to save them from themselves.

Be your own hero and save yourself.

Forgetting Roman is a tale of moving on, growing, and continuing to walk after many falls. I really hope you all continue reading and follow Aspen through her journey.

Thank you again for giving this a read! I hope you enjoy it! ♥

{prologue}

I never expected to fall for him. He came into my life like a sudden cold front in the middle of a burning hot summer. His presence left an impression on my mind and I found myself constantly thinking about him.

I found myself daydreaming about his dark eyes and soft dark hair that curled at the nape of his neck. I found myself hearing his laugh and the way his voice sounded at three in the morning. I found myself smelling his familiar scent at random times of the day. His entire being was engraved into my mind and no matter how hard I tried to stop thinking about him, to stay away from him, I couldn't.

I never expected to fall for him. I never wanted to fall for him. But I did, and even though it sounded incredibly cliché, he changed me. He completely altered my life without as much as a second thought and in the end, he left without an explanation. He vanished from one day to the next and left me alone to pick up the pieces he left misplaced deep within me.

His presence was intoxicating, but his love- his love was poison.

Forgetting all about Roman was easier said than done. Even though I kept saying I was over and done with him, I still felt his presence lingering in the depths of my thoughts and his love running through my veins.

Forgetting him was a journey that I still found myself going through a year after his departure but his sudden reappearance made it more difficult than it had been before. The moment my eyes landed on him again, I felt the familiar burn of his poison run through my veins and straight to my heart.

I hated the fact that after a year my body, my heart, still reacted in such a way to his presence. Though I thought that I had finally cured myself of him, his absence only numbed the feelings I felt. Seeing him again only brought back memories that I wished to forget, just like I wished to forget all about him.
