Thanks guys! I'm holding my breath! The only conests I have ever entered were wih the National Library of Poetry and, of course, I won and had 7 poems published. My largest accomplishment in life until I was informed that is was all a big scam! *SIGH*

Chasing Forever-Young Adult Paranormal Romance

Chapter 32-Jaxen

The door creaked open against rusty hinges under my touch, echoing in the silent room. Small puffs of dust sparkled in the sunlight filtering through the dirty windows. Memories were as thick as the dirt coating the furniture. Everything stood frozen in time. Sixty years had come and gone and nothing in this room had changed, except me.

Chapter 33-Sophie

No use, sleep eluded me. With a huff, I flung the covers off me and eased out of bed. Memories like waves breaking in a storm crashed around me as I stood in the middle of my room in a crumpled, day-old shirt with my hair standing in all directions and muddy boots laying as evidence on the floor.

Oh God. Oh God. Please tell me I did not throw up all over and make a total complete idiot out of myself. I plucked a twig from my hair.

Please say that I did not tell Jaxen I loved him.

Chapter 34-Jaxen

Her face was full of trust I didn't deserve as I tried to block the view of my brother laying covered in blood in the distance. I wished I could tell her everything I had worked so hard to hide. But I couldn't. So instead of telling her the truth, I stood in front of the girl who meant more to me than anything in my life ever had, and lied.
