“If your love was his cure then why didn’t it work?”

I take a good look at James, at his jet black hair that is covering his sweaty forehead, I take a good look at those kissable lips of his- the lips that only ever spoke a sweet melody- mainly though, I notice that James- he's still unconscious on the bed, and I realize that I can't save him anymore. Because in the end, he doesn't love me as much as he loves his bottle of whisky.  

“Just because my love didn't work doesn't mean I'll give up. I'll be with him every step of the way. He needs his bottle and I need him. So I'll join him in his addiction. I'll make his addiction mine so this way we both can be happy."

I love him too much to let him go. So if he can't save himself and get himself out of this mess then I'm more than willing to go down with him. 

"If this poison is his first love, then I’ll accept it too. I’ll stagger along with him and then perhaps find him at some point and at that point he’ll come and say “Arielle, I’m tired now” and then I’ll tell him, “Come, James let’s go home.” And he’ll come back.

He'll definitely come back.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.

This is a sequel of both my books, 'That One Flight' and ' Love In Belgrade', I'd recommend you reading them first (if you haven't) to make the storyline more clear. *This book has some explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE STORY* I look through my phone again and I see that Ana has texted me. I smile as I read through her messages. Ana: Hey, are you asleep, if so, I am sorry if I woke you up. I just wanted to say that I love you. Ana: And I miss you so much. Too much. Then I see she sent me another message, a short while after her last one. Ana: James, are you okay? Please text me whenever you can. I love you. I can feel my heart is beating faster. James: Hey baby, I am fine. But I'll be better if you were here beside me in my bed. ;) James: How is my birthday girl? James: Ana, I miss you so fucking much too baby. Just the thought of you makes me go so hard. I can't wait until I see you again, kiss you again, hug you again, lick you again, eat you again... fuck you again. Fucking hell, I need to see her, but in person. Ana: You know that me getting wet, plus being out in public does not go together all that well ;) She is wet? Fuck me... James: I am going to make you rain the next time I see you, that is my promise to you ;) Ana: That is not helping my leaking problem, you know that? James: I know... I am just saying what I will do to you the next time I see you. Ana: James! You are going to make me squirt in public... James: Oh... I can't let that happen... Ana: Thank you god... James: You can only squirt for me, only on me.

3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry.
