The first rule of living is to do the thing you're most afraid of. "I can't believe you're still afraid of the dark!" He laughs, throwing his head back. His eyes were twinkling with mischief as he read my paper over and over again. "It's not funny." I grumbled. "Now give me your paper." He hands me a piece of scratch paper, looking like it had been eaten and spit out by a bunch of dogs. "Did you get this out of a sewer?" I ask, scrunching up my nose. He rolls his eyes, looking at my paper. "Whatever. I still can't believe you've never ridden a roller coaster either." He comments. This time, It was my turn to roll my eyes. I look at the very bottom of his paper. Questions were written and under them were a bunch of answers. "You're afraid of love." I state. "Cheesy." He stays silent for a while, and I wondered if I'd hurt his feelings before he speaks up. "Don't you get it?" He asks, looking me straight in the eye. "When you lose someone, someone you love, it stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt." I stare at him for a few seconds, thinking of what had brought him to say that. "Tell you what." He speaks up, breaking the silence. "I'll help you overcome your fears." "In exchange for what?"

"Are you ever afraid of being alone?" I asked after a while. A question that had randomly popped into my mind. I wasn't expecting him to answer me, but he did. Jonah turned his face, but I didn't look back at him, I kept staring up at the skies. He turned back to the sky and took a breather before answering. "We're always going to be alone, Rose. Always. We'll be haunted by the darkness that is our own shadow, but in every shadow there's a light." He answered, as if the simplest thing in the world. I only stared at him with a dropped jaw. That was out of this world. Especially coming from Jonah. "When does it get better?" I mumbled. "It doesn't. But to go through it with someone makes it a whole lot easier." He turned back to face me. We stared at each other for a while. He'd always occasionally look down at my lips, and I'd do the same to him. I broke it off and looked back up at the sky. -=- New York City. The place of opportunities. But what shall Rose do when there's so many of them? Jonah, the seducer with a British accent, or Cameron, equally British but sweet. Her clock is ticking. She has one year to make up her mind until the exchange program takes back all their Brits and their New Yorkers return. And so the end-of-the-year party is the final strike. Either Rose chooses...or she doesn't. *WARNING* I began this book (my first book ever) when I was like 11 or 12 years old so the first chapters (idk how many) suck, not gonna lie. I had scrapped so many ideas (that I only really wrote a few chapters of) that when I was older enough to realize the story I had going so far sucked, I didn't want to scrap again, so I finished for that sake in a span of 3 years (and ended in 2014). All in all, not my greatest work, but read on if you wish. Text Copyright © droppedintoxic™ 2014
