Finding Him

I stopped pacing and turned around to look at him. His face, for the first time, showed some emotion. I stared into his eyes for what it seems like an eternity. His intriguing, seemingly warm green eyes. They showed disbelief in what I just said. I pinched the bridge of my nose, closed my eyes and continued.

"Its all an act, Brennan! I put a fake smile and skip around and pretend I'm just the happiest girl in the world just for the public. The only time I'm truly happy is when I'm with you. You made me....actually have feelings for another person rather than just random infatuations that goes away after seeing their true colors! And you've shown your colors from the beginning and guess what? I'm still fucking here!" I yelled. I looked back at him and noticed he was staring right back at me. My breathe hitched as my eyes skimmed the features of his face for the thousandth time and once again, being stunned into silence at how devastatingly gorgeous he was. Inside and out.

"Why?" he whispered timidly.

Because I'm in love with you, I silently answered inside my head.

That was the day that changed everything.

Orianna Sinclair was an outgoing, quirky 17 year old who loved chocolate, made straight A's, and has a heart of gold.

She had one flaw though.

Orianna was a heart-bleeder. Anyone who comes across her path that had a problem or who were damaged, she took it upon herself to befriend and "fix" them.

When she comes across Brennan Rogers, the poetic introvert with beautiful green eyes and a dark past, she is determined to figure out the pieces to his puzzle.

But as Orianna gets closer to him, she becomes entranced by his inner beauty and finds herself taking a different route to fixing him: by trying to love him back to life.

And while doing so, she realizes her faux pas: that you can't save everyone.
