Or
perhaps, just some girl.
These
are the non-spoken titles I was known as since I started at Lake
Shore Uni almost two years ago now. When given the chance to leave my
horrific childhood behind - I didn’t hesitate. In fact, I was
ecstatic to have the door hit me on the ass on my way out of town;
because the only two things I actually loved in my traumatic life…
Were
coming with me.
And
whilst the three of us shared the same beat-up truck when we moved
here – that’s where the similarities unfortunately end.
Ethan
‘The Mule’ Jones, is kind of a super star on campus. Everywhere
he goes he seems to draw attention. I guess that’s what happens
when you’re headlining papers as the star basketballer for the LS
Eagles. But to me, he’s just Eth. A boy who still spends his Friday
nights snuggled up watching movies with me, and who walks me to
classes just to make sure I get there okay. He is my best friend in
every way, and I can’t imagine my life without him in it.
And
then there’s Jase.
The
truth is I knew from the moment I met Jase at the local skate park,
when he was smoking a cigarette and teasing Eth for his poor skating
ability, of how fiercely protective he was about those he cared for.
From the time he blew his warm breath over my injured knee, to when
he thankfully intervened on the most horrific day of my life. A day,
that still haunts me when I am alone in the dark.
He
saved me.
But
Jase has his own demons too. Even if he doesn’t go looking for it,
trouble always seems to find him. Which is why he has been absent
from our lives for the past two years.
Sometimes
I wonder what he’s doing.
Quite
often I worry if he’s okay.
And
I always, always, think about him.
Even
though I shouldn’t.
From
the earliest age I was a born storyteller.
Ask
my parents and they will tell you I had a gift for making a simple
event seem like an elaborate one. Purposely? No. Innocently? Yes. It
was my imaginary world that initially led me to believe I wanted to
be an actor. All of that role playing and living in fantasy... it was
an obvious direction for me. However, becoming quite uncomfortable
with the limelight quickly saw that dream diminish.
Over
the years I turned my world of fantasy into stories, and eventually
began writing them down. Before I knew it, 'Cut' had been completed.
When
I am not busy writing my next story, I am a working mum, housewife
and sometimes hockey wag :) In other words, probably some kind of
circus act who specialises in juggling ;)
I
hope you enjoy my blog, where I will be posting thoughts, other books
I am currently reading and even sneak peeks of my novels. I encourage
any feedback, comments or direct messages via my contact page should
anyone wish to get in touch.
I
am so thrilled to be sharing my journey and hope you enjoy my stories
as much as I enjoy writing them.
Dream
often. Believe always.
