skinny love : (n.) when two people love each other, but are too shy to admit it, even though they still show it. Paristella's Contest ~ Round 2 [ Short Story #54 / Romance #240 ]

You'd think that finding out that your all-state football champion boyfriend has been cheating on you with your best friend, that you got rejected from the college of your dreams , and that you're actually not biologically your parents', all in one day, would be crazy; and you'd be totally right. But for Harper Dale, an over privileged 17 year old, it's just a typical Tuesday afternoon. When everything in her life falls apart within the span of five hours, she's lost...until her saving grace appears in the form of a black SUV and three boys she hardly knows. Soon, she's on the road to absolutely nowhere, to find out where she comes from and who she wants to be with four unlikely allies; her obnoxious sworn enemy, his slightly less obnoxious best friends, and an aging go go dancer that may or may not be a sign that she's completely lost her mind. All Harper has to do is get her answers and ignore the fact that she may or may not be feeling head over heels for the one person capable of actually hurting her. Easier said than done.

"I've been seeing a therapist" I whispered, unable to look at him, "I'm sad...all the time" Andrew cleared his throat and I could picture his confused look, "Why didn't you tell me?"

As the gang embarks on their final journey, we are all finally met with the question: How will it all end? Happily ever after or a series of unfortunate events?

Harper Dale has finally gotten her life together and she couldn't be any happier... Until someone from Andrew's past makes a sudden reappearance and threatens to destroy everything Harper has become so comfortable with.

This time, it's Harper's turn to be the saving grace; but how can she help everyone she loves when there are secrets that have the power to destroy everything in their path? ~ "You know my mom warned me" I whispered, head in my hands, "She warned me about the ones with the bright eyes and sad smiles...because they were the most dangerous"

"Seth?" He walked to the door and paused. "Yeah?" He murmured, hand poised on the knob. "Would you...Could you stay?" I asked unsure. He turned to me and a small smile formed on his lips as he walked back over to my bed. "I thought you'd never ask" He grinned laying down so our shoulders touched. And it was at this point, as we lay down, that I realized that I needed him. I needed this brash, obnoxious idiot with me because I, finally, felt complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seth Fuller and Trishelle Mcguiness couldn't be anymore opposite.
