Gemma Hastings, tried to forget the tragic accident that tore her life apart and all the events before that. She tried, doing everything that could get her mind back to its sane place, but how does that happen when the boy that caused all this trauma to her life is back in town after a year of running from his own troubles, and he wants to make amends with Gemma. But, will the damage be too much to bare for both of them? Or will the past make their unforgettable relationship stronger?
He hissed as the alcohol touched his bleeding wound and he grabbed my hand. His touch ignited a flame and I knew that later I might have to treat myself for burns. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" I asked, softly. I tried to calm my breathing as I did so, he was so close. The years that I spent staying away from his kind weren't paying off.
"No," He retorted sarcastically, still holding onto my hand. "I hissed because I'm a snake. Of course that hurt, pumpkin."
His comment awakened several buried memories, but I ignored them and continued to work on his wound. "Could you please let go of my hand now?" I muttered.
He smirked and shook his head. "Do I scare you?" he asked, completely ignoring my question.
Even though he did scare me, he scared me completely biscuit-less, I rose my head up and shook my light brown waves. "Absolutely, not."
