Norman Patterson believes that the world is against him. Why wouldn't he, when his brother's demeaning and abusive comments keep him awake at night, ravaging his mind? With his unique, hardly appropriate survival skills and damaged self-esteem, the largely self-absorbed, sometimes clueless man, sets on a mission to prove to the world that he can find love, no matter the cost. It appears there's no one more suitable for the job than the woman he simply cannot stop thinking about. NB 'Beneath The Surface' explores the effects of child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and low self-worth. While I might throw in some form of humor to lighten the mood, none of these issues should be taken lightly. 🚫 Trigger warning; Some scenes portray abuse, violence, and self-harm. ❗❗❗ If you are not comfortable with dark themes or have any triggers at all, please do not read this story!

"Why are you running away from me?" He pinned me to the wall, leaving no chance of my escape. I looked down at my feet, not being able to find the courage to talk. "Amelia," The way he took my name, sent down shivers through my body. "I asked, why are you running away from me?" I somehow gathered the courage to speak but couldn't look at his eyes. "I know you're gonna kill me. I saw those photos. I read those papers." I whispered as tears started rolling down my cheek. He sighed and turned away from me showing me his athletic and muscular back. I cleared my throat and spoke again looking at his back. "I don't want to die." He turned around and our eyes locked. There was no expression in his eyes. "I wish I can save you but, I cannot." He came closer and whispered into my ears. ---------- Beautiful cover by @bangtanboyzarelife ACHIEVEMENTS🏆 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE SPRING AWARDS 2K20 🏆8TH RUNNER UP IN THE GOLD AWARD 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE HONEYBEE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE SUNFLOWER AWARDS 2K20 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE WINNER AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE RISING GEM AWARDS 2K20 🏆2nd RUNNERS UP IN THE PERDURABLE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3rd PLACE IN THE SKY'S LIMIT AWARDS 2K20
