What's your love language?
The question on the screen stared into my soul, mocking me with every taunting letter in every dense word. I felt foolish, fifteen years old, taking love quizzes online as I sought out to find my "one". I couldn't bring myself to understand how all the catty girls and all the immature boys created romance with so much ease, hopping from one relationship to the next; Each one following so closely behind the other that it was fairly easy to become dizzy from all of the redirection.
Oddly enough, I wanted that for myself. I wanted a whirlpool of experiences, sending me looping and twirling in a lovesick spell. I didn't quite care much about with whom or how it happened. I just needed it to happen. That's how I found myself where I am now. Staring at a checklist the length of the Declaration of Independence. All I was missing was my signature signed, sealed, and delivered in blood, confining me to a well-established plan as I searched for my mystery man.

Book 2: The Hell Mouth.
My eyes snapped open as I fully remembered it. Remembered what he had done to me. He kissed me. I brought my hand up to my lips and gently touched them. I realized a smile had over come my face. I wish I had kissed back. Why did he kiss me in the first place? I had never talked to him about that and now I was getting more and more curious. I had felt fire works. No. More than that... I felt passion, wonder, confusion, love, life, light, a beautiful feeling that I never have felt before. Not even with Ryder. Should I ask him? Did he feel the same thing? Does he feel that way? But he's dating Catherine. Does he like me? Did he like me? Does he only see me as a friend now? Had I missed my chance? Was I being an idiot for thinking such things? Was that image supposed to be a sign that I'm supposed to be with him? Or was it the world trying to break me again?Complete
Play Me That Song
"The things you do for friends." He laughed softly... "Yeah. For friends," I whispered. "Is that what we are then?".... "Is that what you want?" he asked after several moments of just staring at each other. I gripped the door frame behind me as I felt my knees weaken. I was sure by his smirk that the movement didn't go unnoticed. I swallowed nervously. I didn't know what to say. Just a week ago I told him we were nothing. A few days before that I was ready to tell him off and possibly even smack him if I ever got the chance to see him again. Sure, he was one of my oldest friends and my first (and only) love, but he was also my first heartbreak. Could I go back to being friends with the same guy who insinuated to the world that I was a cheater? And why did "just friends" feel like not enough in this moment? *** ** * When McKenzie went out with her best friends one night, she never dreamed she would run into her ex, famous country singer Beau Anderson, and she never dreamed that she would allow him to come back into her life.
