Heart of Spades

The past changes everything.
The present and future,
are gone

And those spades,
they won't stop,
digging our hearts away...

***********************

Alice Armstrong. Just moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Greenville, South Carolina. She had gotten a scholarship to the most prestigious school in the city, so she had to study hard whilst juggling jobs to provide for her and her Mum. She is kind, modest and a strong girl. And she thinks maybe this time she will be lucky.
Until him...

Jack Stone. The boy girls adore and fawn over. The cold, heartless being who crushes hopes and dreams. He's destined for a promising future. And of course he'll pursue it...
Won't he?

You see, you can't tell with Jack. He's unpredictable. He's a liar.

******************************

It all started with a driving test. Then an accident. Then pity. Then a 'lie'. Then regret.

This story isn't cliche. Alice doesn't speak back to him. Doesn't swoon over him.
Couldn't.
Wouldn't.

And Jack. He can't melt.
Shouldn't.
Wouldn't

Because if the 'can't' turned into a 'can'. And the 'shouldn't' turned into a 'should',
the spades would loom over them both...
