COUNTDOWN: Enchanted to meet you
What would you do if you had just 24 hours left to live? Julie had a Checklist. A checklist for all the things she wanted to do before she finally passed away and she had just one day to check everything on that list. Not too hard if you asked me, unless Jason Tyler was in the equation and she had to spend the rest of the day with him instead. *** "Good, first question, what's with the check list and countdown? Are you going somewhere?" "You opened the book!!?" I exclaimed anger surging through every part of me. Is he that unmannered not to know that you are not suppose to read other people's private stuff. "No? I just happen to notice when you opened it." "That's bullshit!!" At this I tried to grab the book from his hand as fast as I could. I was really close, my hand touched it but before I could pull it, he dodged causing me to slip over and land right into the fountain. The water was really cold and I could feel it through my jeans and jacket because they were now soaking wet. And so was the white T- shirt I was wearing. I think I've found my bad luck charm, it's white shirts. I was dumb folded for a while as I looked down at myself and noticed how much my wet clothes were sticking to my skin and how clear my pink bra was through the wet shirt. I can't believe my luck today. What sin did I ever commit to the universe? "Holy shit" I heard Jason utter and that's when I remembered his presence and the reason why I was in this situation now.

It'll be published on Amazon at a later date. For updates on everything happening, you can follow me on Facebook: Author Suzi de Beer or join my group Suzi's Booknook. Instagram: Suzidebeer18 ############# Crystal and I have been friends since fourth grade. We were like sisters even though we weren't blood related. The two of us had a lot of plans but tragedy struck, and I was suddenly all alone. During her last few hours alive, we wrote a bucket list, which Crystal made me promise to do every single thing on it. Life worked in funny ways I realized a few months later when I met four men. A CEO from a multi-millionaire company. Identical twins, each with their own personality. And a fitness trainer who was a bit too serious for my liking. There was just something about all of them that made my heart beat faster and my knees weaker. Somehow they had gotten hold of my bucket list and now they were all trying to win my heart. There's one big problem though: I didn't want to choose between the four of them. I wanted all of them.Complete
Who am I living for?
I know it's probably weird for a girl who has cancer to be so well like me and all, but my family and I both agreed that I should live my life as long as I can. I mean of course when I get a cold it's more than just your typical cold and all, but that doesn't stop me from living my life. Even if I have cancer I am still a normal teenager, just one that has an experation date. So I'm starting this new thing where I make a video diary of what I have done the last 4-5 months of my life and then share it with my school so then they could see why I am so weird and care free.Complete
