I hear the beat of my heart on my monitor. My body lies completely still. My mind is awake but my body doesn’t respond, I can’t even open my eyes. Every single day I struggle trying to move my lips or wiggle my toes. But I can’t, the nerves in my body aren’t responding to me.
Five months ago, I went into a coma from a blow to the head because of a car accident I got into. The slick black ice on the road made a car crash right into mine going 80 miles per hour. The doctor’s announced that my whole body was paralyzed, but I refuse to believe it. I can fight this, I know I can. I’m trying with all my heart to move my fingers, to be able to speak, to be able to feel, anything.

Midnight Rain
She said it like it was nothing - " This isn't a movie, Emnet. Let me go. But that's exactly why I can't. "I know it's not a movie ,Niv," I whisper, trying to keep my voice steady but failing miserably. " That's why I am still here. Because if I let you go now......there won't be a miracle to bring you back . Not like in the movies. I lose you , and thats it." ♡♡♡♡♡ She's haunted by her past-memories she never speaks of, scars she's learned to hide behind ambition and diplomacy. Falling in love? That was never part of the plan. Especially not with him. But he makes her forget the weight she carries... even if just for a moment. All she wants is a happy ending-one where she isn't a burden, where love doesn't come with guilt. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ He's a man who's spent his whole life being needed, but never truly loved. Calculative, cold to the world-but from the moment he saw her, something shifted. She's the exception. The ache. The soft spot he never thought he'd have. And he'll love her in every way she never believed she deserved. But was this just a fleeting connection between two lonely souls? Or something deeper-something that might finally silence the noise in their heads? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Finding Happiness (Book 1 comes before and ties in to You Series)
The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded.

If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry.

Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine.

Blind not Deaf
“ I have been nothing but good to you for the past two years!” I yell into my cell phone. I’m so angry and frustrated that my knuckles turn white from holding onto the steering wheel so tight. “And you know what Gary, I’m soooo done being with you, we’re through!” Then before giving him a chance to reply I hang up. I know that if I listen to him and his smooth talking I might just fall for his prince charming attitude, again. “uggh!” I screech into the empty SUV. The rain was coming down harder than when I left the party, making it hard to see through the pitch black. I knew I shouldn’t be driving so fast in such weather and it being a deserted road didn’t help. I look down to see that I’m going 50 miles per hour on a 25 miles per hour road.

Hope and Love, Hope in Love (Completed)
I am Blair and I have paraplegia. I've had it since I was 20 because of a car accident. My mother and father died in that mishap. I wished I died, too. I wished my life was ended by that stupid accident, too. How could I survive life without my lower body? How could I move on when I am always in my wheelchair and being pulled and pushed to somewhere I don't even want to be at? But everything changed when I saw someone that has been with me for a long time in a different light. My nurse... Austin. But I was afraid to love. I've always been.Complete
Wings of Butterflies
Hoping to shake this human off once and for all, I twisted my body around rapidly with a plan to put my words into action. When I was on my way to push this man as deep into the floor as possible my body all of the sudden went rigid. When my body froze solid, so did my brain. It took me several seconds to get out of my trance and when I finally did, all that was running through my mind were two words. Those eyes. All of the feelings that I had been hiding for the last 160 years were now coming crashing down on me. They were literally shooting out from this human's eyes like fire. A fire that burned into my core.Complete
Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete
Remembering Chloe
I'm beautiful, I'm rich; I'm every guy's dream. In other words, I am perfect and I'm not afraid to flaunt it. But that's only what they tell me. I can't remember anything after the accident. I lost every memory I ever made, every thought I ever had. I was in a coma for five months and when I finally awoke in that sickeningly white hospital, no one would tell me anything; not even the black haired boy that scrambled to find a nurse as I moved for the first time in almost half a year. No one will give me the whole story and no one will tell me the truth. But I'm determined to figure it out because it's my life and I need to know who I was before the crash. The only problem: I don't know if I want to.Complete
