Shattered

"But... I'm afraid of falling." I stammered,clutching onto the railing for support.
"Don't worry, I`ll catch you." I heard the double meaning, the promise in his voice. He spread his arms out readying himself for my jump.

This was it. I had to choose. Either I climb back on the balcony and pretend none of this ever happened, Jake never happened. Or I jump. Accept my fate. Accept Jake. And accept the fact that my life will never be the same again. I glanced over my shoulder, at the balcony's glass sliding door, smiling sadly.

I already knew what my decision would be. But, throughout everything I couldn't bring myself to regret it. And as I looked down at a patiently waiting Jake, I knew it was the right one.

So, grinning with that thought in my mind, I jumped.

Emily's life changed when Jake came flying out of the sky and landed on her front lawn.She thought he was just a crazy dare-devil teenage boy. Until she heard men dressed in black were looking for him. And her. To add on, Jake has been hiding something from her. Will Jake tell her his secret? Why does he have two long scars, creating an upside down V, running down his back? What do the men in black want from them? And why does Emily have a strange three swirl birthmark on her left shoulder? Not to mention, whats with the spark of romance between Emily and Jake? At least Emily has her best friends Kaylee and Katie to halp her through it all. (Yes, I meant to spell help that way.:) )
