I
get that you probably hate me. I don't blame you. You'll probably hate me even
more once this is all over. That's okay, too.
Honestly,
I hate myself. But before you make any judgments about me, you should know I
never planned for things to go this way. I really do love him, and I never
meant to hurt him.
It's
just that some things are better left unsaid. Some secrets are meant to be
kept.
Still,
I can't help feeling like I've just made the biggest mistake of my life.
My
name is Willow Lansing. I'm a gypsy, a vagabond, stealer of hearts.
II sat at the dinette, map unfolded in front of me, sipping at my
extra cream and extra sugar mug of coffee. Hot chocolate might have been my
drink of choice, but days like this one required caffeine.
We had a full day of driving ahead of us, and I needed to get us
off the highway we were on. But in order to do that, I needed to have at least
some sort of idea as to where we were going. I hated doing that,
though—planning our destination. I felt like it made us easier to track.
Suspicious, I know, but I’d apparently become a little paranoid. Rightly so,
considering the razorblades ripping my heart to shreds over not leaving sooner,
for letting myself fall in love, and putting everything at risk.
How could I have been so stupid? So damned careless?
Oh, that’s right . . . Josh.
Just the thought of him triggered a pang in my chest, one so
painfully raw, I was sure my heart would fall right out onto the table, leaving
behind a gaping hole in my chest so deep and wide that it’d never be filled
again. Not by anything or anyone. Because there wasn’t a single person or thing
on this earth could ever give me what he had given me, something I’d
desperately needed when he’d found me on that bridge.
Hope.
As I’d stood up on that ledge that night, looking out over the
water, I thought of how easy it would be to just end it all. I wouldn’t do it,
not as long as Mya needed me. But there’d still been this sobering realization
just before he showed up . . . if I fell, there would be no one there to catch
me. No one to rescue me. Only me and the sky and the ground below.
So I’d just have to learn how to fly.
Not literally, of course, but figuratively.
Josh had been the one to give me wings with his willingness to
help a complete stranger, a crazy girl standing on a bridge, ready to plummet
to her death—or at the very least contemplating the idea. They grew stronger as
I got to know him, learned just how kind, gentle, caring, and sensitive he
really was. I bloomed under his attention, his affection, his love. And for the
first time in a very long time, I felt free. He had been more than I ever could
have wished for, perfect in every way.
But none of that mattered in the end—not his beautiful soul, not
his deep laugh that warmed me from the inside out, not the way he loved me
without question, limitations, or conditions. It couldn't, no matter how much I
wanted it to. Because things with wings have to fly in order to survive.
And that’s exactly what I’d done.
Unraveled is Not a standalone book, you Must read
Tortured first.
They
say time heals all wounds. I beg to differ.
It’s
been more than a year since the crash that killed my best friend. Everyone else
has moved on with their lives – his girlfriend, his parents, our friends
- everyone except me. But they weren’t there.
They
don’t have to relive that horrible night, over and over, like some sick,
twisted movie. I didn’t ask for it, and I couldn’t make it stop.
Then
I met Willow.
With
her unwavering compassion and carefree spirit, she put some slack in the chains
holding me to my past. Her bubbly optimism has taught me what it means to walk
away from tragedy and loss a better, stronger man.
There’s
just one problem.
Underneath
all that beauty, she’s secretive. Evasive. I’m pretty sure she’s running from
something, but I don’t know what. The closer I get to finding out, the more it
seems as if she’s just another link in my chains of torture.
