Sarah Madeline Brookes was that teenage girl. That was simply it. That teenage girl. Did anyone ever know the real her? Maybe Jake Vaughn did. Maybe he was the only person she had come clean to, completely. He was the only person she could be her truest self to. But with time hanging by a string, fate comes to play. And somehow death is replaced with a coma. The kind of coma that would be considered miraculous to come out of alive. That's what it looks like from the everyday persons' perspective. Just a girl in a fatal coma and a boy more than desperate to have her back. But what people can't see are their thoughts.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
