He smiles at me as he stands beside me. He looks down at me, grinning like the smug superstar he is. The grin he keeps on his lips is disgustingly charming. He has a beautiful smile, so much can I admit.

Have you seriously been in bed all day?” she asks, staring at me with wide eyes. My room is dark since I never bothered to open the blinds. And I also never really bothered to get up to get dressed. And Ana, please don’t ever give up on your dreams. I know you can make it far. I will watch over you and protect you from this day forth. I will smile with you, laugh with you, cry with you. Be the big sister you’ve always wanted. Either way, looks can hurt. And I think people seem to forget that. Not only words cut deep, looks do too.But, hey, at least if I do slip, fall down the stairs and die, I would have died on expensive flooring. The door to my room swings open in a swift move. It’s so fast, I barely even see it until I hear the thud it creates when the door slams into my desk. Let’s pray my door didn’t get any damage from that.

Good an hour passes and we’re finally in New York City. Well, literally. Not just the state. St. Trewery is located in New City, New York. Our college is actually only a one-and-a-half-hour car drive away from Manhattan.I roll up at the dorm parking lots and turn off the engine from my car. Even if Lily doesn’t want to speak to me, there is no way I would let her be by herself today. Or any day until she agrees to my offer. Or at all for that matter. I shouldn’t push him any further. But to hell with that. Aaron Marsh just openly admitted on not being with her, yet he doesn’t want me touching this girl. Does this need reasons why I want to die?” I ask myself. “Probably,” I answer myself. Yeah, I talk to myself, so sue me. It used to be so difficult for me to even be with someone because whoever I was interested in, he was never putting up with Aaron’s expectations for me. Actually, I have no idea why that is. I’m not much of a physics girl. I don’t understand most of it, so I ignore it.

Marrying the only person he knows cares about Brooklyn as much as he does should fix everything. And it sure helps that Emory can’t stand him, but loves his daughter, because it means there won’t ever be feelings getting involved.

See a Problem?

Oh, maybe I should start this off with some more information than that, although I’m sure you are someone close to me, otherwise you wouldn’t have found this book. No.” I know this will hurt him, but I can’t keep lying to my brother. He’s a sweetheart, he shouldn’t hold onto her when she clearly has no intentions seeing him or inviting him into her life. He deserves better. Liz is better…to him. There is no way I could explain what he read otherwise. It was as clear as a cleaned window. The words “I want to die” are unmistakable. There is no way anyone could interpret them differently to what they say. I let out a sigh. And to avoid his intense stare, I am now looking at my fingers underneath the table. I’m playing with the ring on my left ring finger. That only ever happens when I get nervous. Why am I getting nervous? Nothing. I didn’t even know I was playing his girlfriend up until he declared me as such,” I answer. Figured the truth is always a great way to go.

I can do it, if you want,” Aaron offers. That’s weird. Aaron never does anything for a girl, not since his ex-girlfriend fiasco anyway. Winter, was it. God, of course. Aaron knows Lily. He was dating her best friend after all. To my surprise, Colin did not inform the counselor about my condition, at least no one tried to reach out to me yet. Maybe he didn’t read the entries after all and just looked for a name. Or maybe he asked his friends if they knew who this notebook belonged to. But that could not have been the case, I just recently bought it. No one would have known.Eira is talkative and cheerful, way too happy sometimes. I don’t think you would like that much.” Although he doesn’t seem upset anymore, his voice says differently. What are you writing about?” Maybe that is a bit forward, and obviously private as she slams the notebook shut and sets it down onto the seat beside her. Today is another one of my down-days. But that’s the case on most Sundays. I would much rather be at the ice rink and skate with my brother, but I can’t. Not because my mother wouldn’t allow it. Hell, she wouldn’t even have a say in it if my lie were to be true. But I haven’t been on the ice for good three years. Colin.” Eira inhales a sharp breath. “¡Dios mío! Is that a girlfriend?” She asks all excitedly, pointing at me. Called it.
