Running to Stone

My life with Creed Stone had been nothing short of a series of roller coaster rides right from the beginning, so jumping on another shouldn’t have surprised me. The ride was perfect until suddenly it wasn’t and the drop, well, it was a doozy.
I should have walked away when the countdown ended, but the heart wants what the heart wants and mine, it wanted a happy ending.

Uncle Jack always said if I didn’t have bad luck, I wouldn’t have any, and unfortunately, he was right.

Single again, I’m doing what anyone would do in my predicament – moving on – but the city isn’t big enough for the both of us. Forgetting him is pointless now; he’s everywhere I go. Stepping foot outside of my apartment, I’m constantly hounded by paparazzi. Stone promised a clean break, but promises are made to be broken and now I have this tiny string attached to my heart – one with a fluttering heart of its own and he doesn’t know. Pregnant and heartbroken, I’m fighting my way back to normalcy, except that nothing can be ordinary again – he made sure of that.

Insert Michael, Aaron’s cousin. Funny and charming, he’s everything Alex portrayed him to be and he’s nothing short of a saving grace. A series of unfortunate events leads me straight into the depths of hell, so far down, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to climb out. A fall that had been destined, from the moment I met Creed Stone. Selfishly, although unintentionally, I took Michael with me. Broken and bruised, I need time to mend myself, but Michael’s arms are wide open and inviting. Something just doesn’t feel right, though, and my mind is always running to Stone. Can I give my scarred heart to someone new? Can I even survive Stone?
