Addie
In that once moment everything changed. Everything I thought I knew shattered with just a few words.
Who knew the truth could be so devastating.
I need to decide which side to take. But can I even trust myself?

She's gone, but I'll scorch the earth to find her if that's what it takes.
I'll call upon friend and foe for the battle that is to come. The fires of hell couldn't keep me from her and whoever
thinks they can take what is mine, is going to regret it for all time.
One thing is for sure. The Crash could ruin us all.
Excerpt:
“Where
are we?” I ask, looking around at the beauty surrounding me. I
don’t know that I’ve been anywhere so calming, so serene. I look
out over the view in front of me. When we broke through the trees I
was met with grass mixed with rocks and a small pool, fed by a
waterfall.
“Xander,
this place is beautiful!” I say twirling around before running and
jumping into his arms, peppering his face with small, chaste kisses.
He twirls me in circles before lowering me back to the ground, then
gathering my face in his hands and kissing me. Different this time,
deeper, firm but still gentle.
“It
is nothing compared to you, but I thought you might like it. I came
across it while I was out on my last scout. I saw it and thought of
you.” He says, resting his forehead on mine. His lips are so close
they tease me, just out of reach, and each moment I crave them more.
The butterflies in my stomach take flight and I close my eyes to hide
the emotion I know he’ll see there.
“Don’t
hide from me Addie. You never have to hide, not from me.” He says
gripping my chin. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier than in
this moment. “You make me feel again, its been a long time since I
could say that. Even if no-one else knows, I always want you to know
that I love you. I will love you until my lungs give out. Until there
is nothing more than dust on this earth, and long after that still. I
will never love again like I love you.”
