~ Synopsis ~
I
was a hopeless romantic, enjoying my life as I finished out my senior year of
high school. My life was that of a typical student, nothing exciting happening
to me until the day I met him.
Bryant was everything
I wanted, but never knew was possible. The problem was, he didn't feel the same
way. Or at least that’s how it appeared.
But our chemistry was
undeniable, unavoidable and soon consumed us both. We fell hard and fast, and
we crashed even harder leaving a wake of destruction behind us after a tragedy
rocked our relationship.
Leaving behind Tampa
and Bryant was the hardest thing I ever did, but I had to, for my survival. But
one day, when my life hangs in the balance, Bryant is the only one who could
save me, and all I could do was think about every moment I regretted not
spending it with him.

After getting
Rose to the barn, I stormed off, needing to get away and think it all through;
obviously, I wasn't separating from her. I hiked up to the clearing in the
woods and twirled the jewelry box that held a diamond ring in my hand, thinking
how much better it would be with a few paychecks under my belt. She wouldn't
leave once I proposed and she saw how good this job was, although, I knew Rose
could hold a grudge like no other, but she wouldn't be able to ignore how good
this was all for our family.
I looked to my phone
and realized an hour had passed by, but she hadn't called me. No reception --
go figure. I walked toward the road again, and my phone beeped with a text from
Rose, oh yeah she's still pissed, I decided to call a friend from paramedic school
to come get me to grab a few beers and has it out. My phone rang relentlessly
from Leslie, Grant, and Jordan. I assumed that they were calling to lecture me
about smothering her dreams. When it rang again I pushed the power button to
shut my phone off and silence the annoyance.
....Seriously? Leave
it to him to swoop in and be the hero of the day, Mr. Amazing. I'm sure he was
filling her ear with how this was exactly what he'd meant, and that he still
loved her. With a smug grin, I answered the phone and told him off, hanging up
before he could get a word out. I was intoxicated for sure. I decided it wasn't
the best time to call rose to press my point about being a grown mature person
in my current condition, so I headed to my apartment to sleep it off.
....I knocked on the
door, figuring her mom would be safe and would understand, since she'd given me
a very stern lecture about supporting my family and getting my priorities in
check...
Mrs. Barnes's answered
the door, shaking and crying.
"What? What's
wrong?" I asked in a panic, knowing it was Rose.
She just kept
blubbering and wouldn't answer me, so I reached out and grabbed her arms.
I gave her a shake and yelled, "What. Is.
Wrong.!?"
Her eyes cleared out from a haze, and she
finally answered me.....
