(EXTENDED VERSION INSIDE) Have you ever been so scared you can't move? That's how I felt when Jayce Ryley Hinton was standing in front of me. "What's your name nerd?" His voice was deep and husky. Full of confidence, the opposite of mine. I felt like if I didn't answer, he'd break me like a twig. "Ryan. Ryan Alison Cosbeck" I squeaked. Yes, Ryan is a boys name. But it can be a girls name too. My parents wanted a boy okay? He smirked. "Isn't that a boys name?" He asked inching closer. COMPLETED (SEQUEL IS 'Saving Jayce' )
