Whatever it takes...

After one huge accident completely changed Rhea Nikolaou's life, she has become used to the feeling of complete emptiness. What once used to be a game full of fun, the love of her life, her future, and her safe haven has now become just another reminder of the life she can no longer have. She believes life will never truly be the same.

When a certain Theodore Remis enters her life, she chooses to ignore his constant attempts to get her attention. With everything that she is dealing with, an arrogant, womanizing athlete is not something she wants to add to the list. But he seems determined to make himself apart of her life, whether she lets him or not.

Will Theodore manage to break through her walls and find out who she really is behind all the harsh glares, rude remarks, and sarcasm, or will Rhea keep pushing him away till he gives up?

"Leave it alone Theodore." I seethe out.

"I'm just trying to help you. Why won't you let me? I don't get it!" he says, exasperated.

"I said drop it! I don't want to talk about it! I am not going to repeat myself." I say, my voice rising slowly the more he asks questions.

He takes a couple of steps toward me until he is standing right in front of me.

"Please Rhea, please. I know you're hurting. We're all worried about you." he tells me. "I'm worried about you," he whispers out a few seconds later. " You can't keep shutting people out."

I look away from him as my eyes begin to water. I blink back the tears and turn back around, meeting his stare with cold, lifeless eyes. "Watch me."
