"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.” ― Laurell K. Hamilton A day like mine should never be witnessed. Never be seen, heard, or spoken of ever again. Every day is another, that unsatisfactory feeling never lifting from my shoulders. The simplicity of life doesn't exsit. Slipping into a deep oblivion is my life long dream. Hayden, my one and only friend, worries about me and I let him. Until the day I die I'll be miserable. When I finally do, I'll be happier then heaven itself. *SOME SCENES MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS*

(Sequel to Queen of Spades/King of Hearts stories) Nathaniel Vega grew up in a less than conventional family. His mother and father had once been student and teacher, his best friend was also his adoptive sister and his family seemed to include people who had no blood relations but shared a lot of love. Grace James has grown up with Nate playing at first big brother, now best friend and would be lover, but she is no fool to fall for his easy charms. She is trying to find where the line of friendship ends and where her independence from her best friend begins. Ophelia James is dying. Cancer is breaking her body down before she has even had a chance to live and do all the things she promised herself she would do when she had time. Bound by blood and love, Nathaniel, Grace and Ophelia inevitably get in the way of each other's lives, and somehow change the course of each other's fates. But when the happiness of all of them rests on a miracle, what sort of future can any one of them have?
