Excerpt
I
would have done anything for that girl. Anything. I have dreamed of Mia, I have
waited for Mia. I have loved Mia.
I
can’t trust Mia.
I
can’t get my hopes up again, only to be crushed by her. I couldn’t stand it.
She
doesn’t allow herself to be happy. What has happened in her life to cause her
to reject the people who love her, who care for her?
I
remember the first time I ever laid eyes one her. The way she bumped into me,
how embarrassed she was. I swear to this day that she is the most beautiful
creature I’ve laid eyes on. Her slim build, dark hair and striking eyes. And
that smile, that smile still warms my heart.
I
went to see my grandma in Maine for the weekend once I realized that I was
falling in love with Mia. My grandmother and I have always been close. She has
been there for me through thick and thin ever since I was a child. I grew even
closer to her as I was growing up, finding my way in life. For some reason, I
always found it easiest to share my feelings with Grandma, the two of us like
kindred spirits.
My
feelings for Mia scared the life out of me. I told my grandmother that I didn’t
want to risk getting hurt again and that Mia seemed so unsure of herself. She
offered me a piece of advice that I will hold true to my heart forever: She
placed her hand over my heart and said, “Go where there is love, surround
yourself with love.” So I did, I went to Mia and tried to tell her how I felt,
only to be brushed off with news of Josh coming back into the picture.
I’m
happy with Danielle, she’s smart and she’s beautiful. Yeah, I’m going to give
this a chance, I would be a fool not to.
But…I
think…she’s not Mia. My heart can’t take Mia.
She
has the power to hurt me, and I can’t survive that again.
