"And she wanted so desperately to be save, but he was just a boy who knew nothing more than his own name." The words carved into the paper like they belonged, the ink flowing smoothly from letter to letter. But she was frozen, her mind overflowing with regret and her body tense from stress. It was all one big story, the story of a girl and what university would bring to her. None of the books she read growing up would prepare her for the misfortune she encountered. It was more than just he kissed her but dated another or she liked him but he was clueless. University was a long and endless tale, the plot always twisting and weaving itself into something completely unheard of everyday. Her heart hung heavy every time she remembered how bad it was, the things she forced herself to forget just to be able to survive another day. But that's the truth. That's why she scribbled out a packing list to head on to the next journey in her life.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete
