"Emily, don't you get it?" I took her gloved hands in mine, reveling in the sweet pull I felt to her. "We're meant to be. You and I, we're together by fate."
Nick and Emily are sophomores attending Chaston University in a world where your purpose in life controls everything. A single object is linked to your entire future, and upon touching it, your fingers experience an incredible change that turns them purple: your significance.
But neither one of them have had this change yet. Nick is hit with every misfortune possible after his car breaks down and he loses his job. He has no direction, but he needs to figure out his life in time to pay for school. Emily thinks she has everything figured out with her path in life until she doesn't. When they meet, their stories intertwine into new directions. Will they save each other, or will it all fall apart?
Hi everyone! These are the teaser chapters for my upcoming debut novel on Wattpad! I'm so excited to share this story with you and I can't thank you enough for your support! Enjoy the bits and pieces here!
***Cover contest! This cover is temporary and will only exist for these teaser chapters. If you'd like to create a cover for the official book, PM me for instructions on how to submit it to me! I'd love to see your artwork! I am super interested in covers that refer to purple, hands, IV needles, hazel eyes, and a boy and girl. They don't have to have all of these things, but anything that focuses on any of these elements in high quality would be awesome! Thank you so much!!
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
