This is a combination of Savanna George's two short stories, on fiction and one non-fiction. Story One-Middle Of A Memory: Ash Steel was the typical high school student, working towards graduation and attending homecoming, but everything changed when he met Audrey Bohlor. He thought they had the perfect romance until he made one huge mistake, which may end up costing him everything; his relationship, his mind, and even his life. Story Two-Thank You, Next: One taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain, one taught me ignorance, and one taught me disloyalty. Each one has their own unique 'love' story, leading up to the next until I found the one who was absolutely worth it. I'm still grateful for the rest of them, for they each taught me something valuable. these are not just (some broken) love stories, they're thank you letters. Side Note: These are both re-releases, they're just combined into one book now. There is a little extra added. Disclaimer: If you have already read Middle Of A Memory, I would not recommend purchasing this book. If you'd like both of my short stories in one book rather than two, then this book is for you.
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances.
But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you.
I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time.
When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back.
I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen.
Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words.
All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh.
Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat."

Simple. You force them to listen.
