SEQUAL TO *TALES OF A BAD BOY*- this book will not make sense if you don't read the first book. ........................................................................ It hurts until it doesn't. You think it's going to break you, but I promise you it won't. You may not sleep as well at night but you'll be fine. Numb, that's for sure. But fine. Then again numb and fine are the same thing really. It's been three years since he left me. On that unforgettable stormy night. And it wasn't until he was gone that I realised how weak I had become. Without him I could not breathe, he was my oxygen and I needed him to survive. He left me, and for the first few days, weeks, months I felt like I was suffocating. I was dying, drowning in all those memories he left behind for me to try but never forget. Everything you love will kill you in the end I suppose. Whether it's cigarettes, drugs or that boy with those unforgettable eyes. They all kill you in the end. But over time the pain grew less and less and I began to heal until Luca Millar became just another memory to me. A tragically beautiful memory. He was my first love. Now three whole years have passed by since Luca Millar left all of us. I told myself it was over between us again and again, I moved on to bigger and better things and distracted myself from all the memories of my Luca. But it was never over, deep down I think I always knew that somehow it wasn't just a simple good bye. It was never simple when it came to him. Our paths would cross once again but this time it was different. I had changed, he had changed. But he was my first love, he was my only love. And I was his.

Everyone has that one person they just can't quite get over even though they've moved on with their lives. For him, it's the quiet girl with red hair and forest green eyes. The Way It Was Before spin-off | Finn's POV Book cover illustration by raindrops_

"I admit it. I was afraid to love him. He was an amazing mystery and he carried things deep inside him that no one has yet to understand and I, I was afraid to fail, like so many before me. He was the ocean, and I was just a girl who loved the waves but was just too terrified to swim." I'm Amelia Jane Messar. I'm just a normal 17 year old that has just started her senior year at high school. I live in a normal house, in a normal town with my pretty normal family and I guess you could say I was a very normal girl, nothing special at all. And I thought everything was going to stay that way but just as I started my senior year things began to start changing, and the timid school girl I was finally started to change. But this tale isn't all about the changes I go through, it's about who changed me. Luca Millar, he was bad. He smoked a lot and alcohol was one of his closest friends, he was cocky and arrogant, he broke the law frequently and he drove way to fast for his own good. And he didn't care one tiny little bit because no one ever taught him how to. But spending more time with him made me realise that there was way more to Luca that first met the eye, a couple of real dark tales hidden beneath the surface of this supposedly gorgeous and perfect bad boy. And I tried not to fall for him, with all my inner soul and being I tried, but I suppose I just could not help myself. But Luca made me feel different then anyone else ever had. He seemed to want to be the best man he could be for me, he couldn't bare the thought of me getting hurt by anyone, including him. He made me feel as though he would kill to protect me, a girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection. I knew this all wasn't true, and many people told me so. He was just playing a game. But for once I just really wanted my tale to end without the pain and sorrow. And I think deep down I always secretly knew that there would never be anyone else. I only ever wanted him.

Stay away from that boy. That's what they all told me, but I was never one to be obedient. The Boy who Broke the Rules. All Rights Reserved. * He was the mysterious lonely boy who found her in a clearing and told her to stay still as he sketched a portrait of her. Entranced by his voice and intensity of his gaze, she let him draw her. But what lay behind his sketches and silent stares was something more. And she was willing to find out.

"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top." When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse. A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.
