takes just one week to realize that you’re broken, but not
unfixable. ONE week to realize
everything doesn’t come with a price. One week to fall in love with
love. One week to fall in love with you.
Family
torn apart at thirteen by a drunk driver.
Fifteen
foster homes in five years.
Determined
to keep everything at bay, Nevaeh Rodgers will do whatever it takes
to forget.
Until
she meets Angel Barajas at a party. He can’t keep his eyes off of
her. Saving her from a guy at the party and an overdose, he can’t
just let her walk out his door. Determined to help her whether she
wants the help or not, he sets out to find her and not a moment too
soon.
It
takes ONE day to realize the
relationship you’re in isn’t healthy and leave. TWO
days to realize you’re as pathetic as the loser you stayed
with. THREE days to get a combination of
drugs out of your system. FOUR days to
wish life would end so you can take matters into your own hands. FIVE
days to be saved. It takes a week to realize that everything
each and every one of those days has in common, is the vibrant blue
eyes that are staring at me right now.

When I come to again the first thing I notice is the fragrance of laundry. It smells just like when it comes out of the dryer. I roll over, shocked to come into contact with a warm, hard, body. I shoot up and scoot across the bed, only to end up falling on my ass on the other side. I bite back a groan and see that I’m only wearing my pink bra and panties. Sober. Shit! I’m totally fucking sober right now. I crawl around looking for my pants but find nothing. I glance up at the bed and see a guy lying there asleep. I stand up and tiptoe towards the door that I’m hoping is the bathroom. I open it, but instead of a bathroom, there’s a hallway.
Part of the wall looks like the shape of a door, so I start pressing on it. When it finally opens, I see my clothes on the floor of the bathroom by the tub. Shutting the door behind me, I grab my pants and look for the pills but they’re gone. My backpack is missing too and I’m starting to freak out. I stand up and grab the counter when suddenly the door opens. I can’t even bring myself to look at whoever came in. All my focus is on trying to slow my breathing before I have a panic attack.
“Just take a deep breath in; now slowly release it, deep breath in and out.” A deep voice says as the door clicks shut behind him. He places his hands on my hips and a shudder races through my body. I look up into the mirror and see a face that looks familiar but I can’t place it. I focus on his blue eyes which are the same shade mine used to be when I was younger. The same blue that reminds me of the innocence and happiness I had in my life before it was taken from me.“Who are you and where am I?” My voice is shaky from the warmth of his skin on mine.“Do you remember anything from last night?” He looks concerned.I try to remember. I remember walking home in the morning, I remember Timo walking in with that bitch, I even remember meeting up with Ice. I shudder. This guy flexes his hands on my hips, and when I look up in the mirror I see him watching me. Click. “You were at the party. I remember staring at you and then I was coming to talk to you when Timo showed up. He was about to punch me-“I stop. He meets my eyes in the mirror, “You stood in front of me and knocked Timo out, right?”He nods his head yes. I try to understand what’s going on and remember what happened after that but I come up with nothing. “Okay, so why am I here and who are you?”He sighs, “Well, my name is Angel and you are in my house because you blacked out.”I blacked out? I guess I took the wrong pill last night. “Okay, but that doesn’t explain why I’m still here. Yeah, okay, I blacked out and now I remember my vision getting blurry but that doesn’t explain why I’m still here-not that I’m ungrateful, but I’m not sure I should be thrilled either.”He laughs at me. “Well, after I knocked out Timo, your friend said you could stay with her but she was worried Timo would find you. So I decided to bring you to my place.”Alright. Well that makes perfect sense, I think. I feel myself nodding, “Okay, so…. why am I also half naked?”
