SEQUEL TO PAPER HEARTS

Jaren is finally home after college in London. Life is great: him and his mom are closer than ever, he's brought back his friend from London and he even has a boyfriend that he adores. Everything is perfect. 

Until he unexpectedly bumps into the man he's spent the last three years trying to forget. John seems to have changed but is mending bridges the best thing to do? Or will disaster strike again? 

*************************
"Why don't we start over?" He put his hand out between them. "Hi, I'm Jaren."

John looked at him with a confused expression on his face. "What?"

"I'm willing to forget everything before and start over. You gonna leave me hanging?" He wiggled his waiting fingers.

"No," John huffed. "I'm John." 

His warm hand was in Jaren's a second later, who shook their joined hands once.

"Nice to meet you, John. Would you like to come inside and catch up?"

"I would love to."

It started with a kiss and ended with a list. The middle is a bit more complicated. The list of rules is supposed to protect mine and Beck's friendship and stop us from accidentally kissing again. But most of all, it's supposed to protect my heart from getting crushed and keep me from ending up broken like my mom. I've always been great at following rules. But the more time I spend with Beck, the more I can't stop thinking about that kiss and how amazing his lips felt against mine. For the first time in my life, I wish I was a rule breaker. But I can never cross that line. Not with Beck. Not with anyone. Besides, if Beck knew the truth about my life, then the list wouldn't have to exist because he wouldn't have kissed me to begin with. *** Beck: It started with the most amazing kiss ever and led to Willow handing me a list. That stupid list. When she gave it to me, I wanted to shred it to pieces, pull her against me, and kiss her until she realized a piece of paper wasn't going to stop me. Willow's been my best friend since forever and she should know by now that I'm not a follow-the-rules kind of guy. She may think that kiss was a mistake, but she's wrong. Kisses like that can't be a mistake. Willow and I belong together, have since the day I promised to always protect her from the bad stuff in her life. And somehow I'm going to prove it to her. Just like I'll always protect her no matter what.

"I love you," Johnny murmured, clutching my wrist to the point I could not pull away no matter how much I tried. "Stop it," I snapped, "Stop saying that!" "But I do, I love you, I want you, I need you to remember," He was pleading now. "Stop, quit pretending-" "There is no pretending," Johnny said with absolute clarity. "I love you and I will love you until the day I die. You don't remember now, but you used to love me too Rosey. And I will love you until you love me again, even after I die, and if there is a life after this I will love you then, too." I stared at him as he poured his heart out; he was moving away, for once he wasn't trying to get me to love him. I was doing it myself. "Will you ever give up on this?" I asked. Johnny shrugged, "Someday, I suppose I'll give up, and sit in a rocking chair. But I'll probably be rocking fast, because I don't know what I'll do without you." ----------- Rosemarie Curtis' story has seemed to come to an end. Everything is lost. Nobody can forget. Nothing is the same. Now the gang seems to have to wrestle the past, rebuild on the ruins inside them. But sometimes life has a twisted way of bringing back something you've lost. For Rosemarie's story is just beginning. But there was no way the gang could scrape the earth clean, and keep thinking they could start again. Because even though Rosemarie is alive, her memories of the past are gone. Her mind had left them; she has now gone wild and wary. She remembers no feeling, no hurt, and no loving. Johnny must cope with losing his only love, while her thoughts swim between them, hidden under rocks, disappearing in weeds, and he fishes for them, dangling his own memories like bait and lures. But how can you love someone you don't remember loving? How can you remember something you don't want to remember? And how can the gang hold together when everything has fallen apart?

Jaren and John are as close as two people can be. That is, until John gets a girlfriend and starts to distance himself from Jaren, who realises he doesn't just miss his friend, but the way he treated him, the way he made him feel. He finds the threads of their friendship snapping one by one. Can he save their treasured connection before it's lost forever? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You can tell me anything, Jaren." "Not this. Can you leave, please?" It comes out as a broken whisper that knocks the air from John's lungs. "I don't want to leave when you're hurting. Please tell me. What can I do to help?" Jaren rips himself from John's grasp and lurches away from him. When he turns around, his expression is stormy. "You can't fucking help when it's you who is the problem." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest rankings: 1 in #krii7y 1 in #smii7y 1 in #bananabussquad 1 in #gbg 1 in #kryozgaming
