I'm floating. I'm floating in the bubble of insecurity, or I'm not - I don't know. I don't care what happens in my life anymore. If I die, live, survive; whatever - it doesn't matter anymore. So I'm floating: going where people tell me to go, wearing what people tell me to wear, isn't that just like insecurity? The only difference is I'm half awake.
****
Ali's mum died a year ago. She moved to scotland with an aunt and uncle she bearing knew, her sister left for college, and frankly, she's lost the will to live. But then she gets a car, she can go where ever she wants, her guardians even encourage her to go for a drive.
You'd think the first place she would go would be her mum's grave, but no - her dad's old house, where so many memories lie, but none of her mother. You'd think a man with his family might open the door, but no - you wouldn't believe who answers that old wooden door.

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.

Raine Walker

"That's why you left with me. Because you feel safe?" Scott doesn't pull me back to look at him. I could feel his heartbeat racing with each word spoken. "Yeah, I guess so," I respond, pushing back to look at him myself. "You'll always be safe with me, Raine," he whispers. "I know," I give a small smile, knowing that those words were completely true. *** Raine Walker is just an average girl, hoping to get through her final year of high school.

I had been fighting myself on this for too long. I didn't care what he was, I wanted this. I stared at his lips as he spoke, my own tingling in response. "I could show you that if you wanted. Most of the other things you can do are outside of the esta-" I pushed up on my toes and crashed my mouth to his. My actions were unexpected and rushed. I could tell by his reaction. He reared back but not enough to separate us. His hand flashing to my arm to still us and then he froze. I thought for a second, based on his lack of response, I had picked the wrong time. Or maybe he had changed his mind from two days ago. I went to pull away, flushing lightly with embarrassment. I didn't get to disconnect our lips before he unfroze and reacted. His grip tightened, his other one going to my hair to hold my head in place as he kissed me back with more intent than I even had started with. My body flushed for a different reason now.Complete
