This memoir is a stream of consciousness retelling of my early days as a writer, and how my life is what it is now. It's fairly accurate; names have been changed to protect the "innocent" (snicker). This work was originally a prologue to my 1st effort, "Loving the Towers", featuring Clayne Crawford. It turned into a lengthy reminiscence of my beginnings as an author. It was so far off the "Towers" track that it no longer filled its role as a prologue. I pulled it out to let it stand on its own. #COWAwards2k18 #COWAwards2k18 #ammonawards2018 #bjcawards2018 #eleganceawards #hiddengensawards2k18 #newauthorawards #panteratigris #pastelawards2k18 #seta2018 #shookethawards #thedynamicawards #theelectricawards #themagicalawards #theoverachieverawards #theriseawards #theroyaltyawards #theshootingstarawards2018 #treeawards #wattiesretry2018 #ppawards2018 #loonaverseawards2018 #pphoenixawards #thecosmicawards2018 #thediamondawards #thewritersvoice2018 #themysticalawards #geometricawards #breathtakingawards #thevisionawards2018 #ohanaawards #mystiqueawards

"I don't need saving." He spit at the ground. I had never met anyone like Sebastian. "We're friends, whether you like it or not." I cross my arms over my chest. "This is one odd friendship." He rolls his eyes. Sebastian was right. It was one odd friendship. - Sebastian Peters was a mystery to everyone at Valley Brook High School. When he wasn't playing with girls hearts, he was nothing more than an outcast. He never spoke, or took out his earphones. His looks were a mask to the horrible personality that was locked up inside. Sebastian was a safe with a code no one could crack. A lost cause. This was until Aria Watson stepped into Sebastian's life. The two opposites had a lot more in common then they thought, including the love for soccer. Little did she know the only thing left in his safe was a broken heart. Does aria have the power to fix what is already destroyed? Copyright © 2016

"Mom! I told you not to bother m- " she was cut off by her own coughs. "You're drunk again?" Her mother sighed before asking it. "Not like you care mo-" this time a crash cut her off. The car crash didn't let Kristine complete her sentence. "Your hospital charges as well as all other necessities will be fulfilled but, in return you've gotta do what I want." Someone who brought her to the hospital and saved her life smirked before speaking with his intensely deep voice. What does he want? ________________________ ◆[STATUS: EDITING]◆
