Lauren Linley was young when she lost her father and even younger when she lost her mother. While Lauren was not entirely alone and still had her older brother, Jacob, and her dear friend and mentor, Eleanor, she couldn't help but feel the deep loss of her parent's deaths. With Jacob and Eleanor tasked with the raising of Lauren and with the job of keeping the Linley legacy a secret, they can't help but to slip up from time to time.
With all of the freedom Lauren has had over the course of her life you'd certainly think she'd be more "wild" or more childish than she is, but she has managed to develop an adult attitude towards any situation that has been thrown at her. As Lauren continues to grow physically and mentally she has been unable to fill the hole that her parents left when they passed. Will Lauren meet someone who can fill the void she's felt for so long or is she destined to be alone forever? Or perhaps she will be tasked with something that will consume her for the rest of her days.
Is Lauren really who she thinks she is or has her whole upbringing been a lie? Only time will tell and one thing everyone knows for sure is that Lauren has never been a fan of time.

Thank you for checking out my book! I have the mature rating on as a precaution because I am posting chapters as I write them and am not sure what direction I want to go in with this book yet. Since this is my first, complete, book attempt, I ask you to please refrain from any mean or rude comments, however constructive criticism is welcome!
I hope you enjoy my book and perhaps begin to question time as much as Lauren Linley has.

María Villa Andino was once the living example of one who chased her dreams. She was blessed with supportive and caring parents, amazing friends, and a life that one can only wish to have. Her father is, or was, of Spanish descent and her mother an American-born Hispanic. Learning to speak fluent Spanish and English, she grew up to be a beautiful and intelligent young woman. With exceptional fútbol talent and amazing grades, she had an athletic scholarship pretty much in the bag by only her sophomore year in high school. She was onto great things...until December 2, 2015. That day, at the age of 17, her whole world turned upside down. She then moved from San Bernardino to Los Angeles, California to stay with the only relative she had in the U.S. -her father's mother- where she managed to finish high school and would eventually decline her full-ride scholarship to UCLA. She did the one thing she never thought she would do: give up on everything she had worked for, for a different path in life. However, when things suddenly take a turn for the worst for the second time in her life, she's forced to leave that world behind as well and start from scratch once again.

Scared that she might go away, I said the first words that came into my mind. She stopped suddenly and turned back to look at me. A look of shock held her face before it turned to that of confusion. Why the hell is she confused? My eyes involuntarily moved to the shelf from where she has picked the item and I was beyond shocked. Holy Shit. Lying on the top shelf of the counter were stock of tampons-different brands along with few other girly items and I realized I just told a girl not to buy tampons. F**k..
