"Why are you doing this to yourself? Why hide away from something that makes you happy?" His blue eyes bore into me, practically swimming with confusion. "This is your second chance, you nearly died!" "You're right." My voice was soft as I wrapped my arms around myself, as though they were the only things keeping me together. "I nearly died. I should of died, just like Percy did. That's twice in three years. Who's to say there won't be a third? One that actually does kill me? I'm not dragging him into this, I won't." *~*~*~* Bethany Watley has never had an easy life, certainly not in her short time as a resident at Seattle Grace Hospital- no, wait, Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.

"I don't get it." He shook his head at me, his frustration clear in his eyes. "Why can't you just let yourself be happy, for once?" "What makes you think I'm not happy?" I crossed my arms over my chest, my eyes narrowing into slits as I met his gaze, refusing to back down. "Maybe the fact that you're always fighting with me?!" He gestured between us, as if this moment were all the proof he needed. "You really don't get it." I scoffed. "Don't worry when I fight with you, worry when I stop because that means there's nothing left for us to fight for." *~*~*~* Bethany Watley has never had a easy life, but she has never let it stop her from fighting for what she wants. She didn't let it stop her from getting a surgical internship at Seattle Grace Hospital and she's not planning on letting it get in the way of her becoming the best surgeon she can be. Though, even with her dreams laid out clear in her mind, she could never have expected the drama that Seattle has in store for her. [Seasons 1-6] [Book One in the Stitches duology]

Just a few added characters of my own. Hope you enjoy it. I base most of what I'm writing mainly on the book rather than the movie. A little about me... So, I'm probably older than most people who have written something along these lines but I just got caught up in the sweet story. It made me feel nostalgic about young love and I after I've read some of the other follow ons from the kissing booth I thought I'd give it a go. Now it's been a long time since I've ever written anything so go easy on me. I work full time so any updates might take time so bare with. Hope you like what you read.
