Up and coming writer Michael Ann Ellis swore off love forever when she watched her parents' marriage crash and burn her sophomore year of high school. After watching her mother cry herself to sleep every night for months, she made a promise to herself to never fall in love.
What she didn't count on was how difficult it would be to keep that promise after meeting her lab partner, Greyson. She held true to it until leaving town for Boston, but when she decides to fly home for Christmas for the first time in two years, she's forced to decide if the promise she made is worth the heartache she feels knowing she's giving up the only one who has ever been able to make her question it.

I just didn't know what to do." "Didn't know? Seriously? How could a person not know how to uncheat? Christian you were my friend's boyfriend." I told him, struggling to break free from his grip on my wrist. "Liss please... give me a chance. I need to make it up to you." He said to me softly, his soft grey eyes peering into my brown ones. I sighed and stopped fighting him. He took this as my surrender and let me go. Big mistake. As soon as he did I bolted back to my car and hurried to start it and drive away.

From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete
