The thing about Steve was that even though he lived a thousand kilometers away, he made me feel as if he was right here. He knew me in and out, in a way that people physically present around me didnt. He managed to make me feel loved and protected inspite the distance. I could talk to him for hours at a stretch, basically because: 1) I was in love with him, 2) he never got bored of the shit i said and 3) he accepted me for the nutcase i was. Natasha, an eighteen year old, has always felt for Steve, but doesnt have the guts to confess. The ball falls in her court when she get into an university close to where Steve lives. Away from home in the new city where she is only known to one person, how does she get through it.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
