"If you fall, I will be there." (- Floor) Vanessa had everything she ever dreamed of. But within a few earth-shattering moments, the young woman changed from the bright side over to the dark, as she held the hand of her one true love for the last time. He pulled her soul into hell with him and it's been there ever since. The good thing about hitting rock bottom: at least you're back on solid ground ... Since that fateful hour, a once cheerful existence has given way to iron routine in order to survive. Besides a small handful of friends, her job keeps Vanessa going. It is through this job that she meets another man. But it is not just any man, it is exactly one of those who were designed to keep you awake at night and raise your hopes that positive karma will prevail. Far too good to be true, as we all know. Because behind every shining facade lurk expectations, injuries, secrets and a long list of life experiences that demand a lot from two adults who have already spent a fair amount of time in the dark. The path of life is winding and stony and Vanessa would not have imagined that the hardest part is still ahead of her. Destiny is a sneaky old traitor. This is the story of a princess who lost her pilot and found the poet instead - told from her perspective and memory. *** My first story. It feels somewhat autobiographical to me, but it is not. Strong similarities to real and living persons are purely coincidental and I don't know any of those personally who might be mentioned or referred to. You will find several chapters with adult content in this work. Also, the subjects of depression and emotional abuse. I'd be delighted to get a few Yays if you like what you read.
