Not only was I spending two months of my summer with my boring old grandparents. But I found things out about my family that I never knew. I found things out about myself that I never knew. I started a complete new life if that's what you want to call it. I made new friends at a new neighborhood. And I especially met him. The bad boy of the town, probably the whole city. I caught his eye. And he caught mine. Boy this is going to be a LONG summer... But a fun summer. As I met him and found many things out about my family, myself and this neighborhood, my past came up to catch me. In a way, I wish never had been. All I was trying to do was run away and forget my past, but I guess that wasn't happening. * WARNING! STRONG LAUNGUAGE! NO COPY WRITE! NOT EDITED!

"I don't love you," I declare. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years. Once college sweethearts, they have now transformed into business partners. People have come and gone, circumstances have shifted, choices have been made, and personalities have evolved. But, one thing remains unchanged: their undying love for each other, that consumes them day and night to finally claim each other as their own. However, the path ahead is far from simple. Bound by commitments, every move feels like a forbidden dance. Will they muster the strength to resist their burning desire or succumb to the long lost desire for each other?

It's really complicated but we're together now. Our past still haunts us but I thought we were happy. I thought we were honest with each other and then I found out that he hasn't been honest with me after all. I found out he's been lying to me and betrayed me with someone else. Someone who despises me and always wanted him for herself. It looks like she finally got her wish but there's a reason behind it. Chase was blackmailed by the one person who wants to come between us and he did everything in his power to try and stop it from happening.

He turned and looked at me. Those green eyes would be the death of me. I knew it but I loved them so much I can't describe it. "You know what I want to say Ava. Don't make it more difficult than it is. Just leave." I felt tears running down my cheeks and my breathing became even heavier. I couldn't. I couldn't even think of the possibility of that, of loosing him, of him breaking me into pieces. I didn't want to think about it. I didn't. "Leave Ava!" he yelled and I flinched. He had never raised his voice like that to me before. "Now! What don't you understand? I don't want you here, I don't want you anymore. We were just having some fun and that's it.

"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me.

So close that things happen. What happens? Do sparks fly?

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper.
