Maybe I'd died two years ago and unknowingly entered hell. Doomed to spend the rest of eternity living with my father and stepmother and retaking the ACT over and over again.

The kiss comes hotter and faster than before. Our lips move quickly, a hunger grows between us that can't seem to be quenched. There's a rhythm, a dance, and somehow, I know the steps. An instinct tells me to follow his lead, to explore even further, to touch. My hands drift down his back and when I feel scorching skin near the hem of his shirt, I gasp for air. Isaiah moans, and his lips leave mine to travel along my throat. My heart picks ..

A heat wave crashes into my body and I tug at the collar of my winter coat. I could take this thing off and probably still sweat. The memories of his mouth moving against mine and how his hands pressed into my body flood my brain. I lick my lips in anticipation. I crave for him to kiss me again, but... A small grin plays on his lips. It's like he's begging me to tease him, and without thought, I slide back to the braver girl at the bar. ..

Pigpen earned his name as a joke because the girls fall over themselves to gain his attention. Blonde hair, blue eyes...a late twentysomething version of what I hope to be.

Have you thought of doing it? Being a cattle farmer? If that's what it's called? I think we should do that, but replace cattle with bunnies and then we don't milk or eat the bunnies. We just let them multiply. Then we'll take over the world. Me the queen. You the king. Our bunnies the army nobody can defeat.

There's something more than friendship between us. A trust and love that had taken root when we were children, something that has grown, something that once took a wrong turn and had to be pruned. Something that has been allowed to reflourish and is on the verge of going wild.

She's my daughter. The only one I have and the only child I'll ever have. I see the fear in her eyes, I sense her hesitancy, but when I get her to smile it makes up for all those moments in between. I got this one chance. My last chance. I don't want to blow what little time I have left with her so no, I don't want anyone rocking her world.

Estoy bien con el silencio, Beth. Aun estoy aqui en esta casa, en la habitacion con demasiadas ventanas. Aun estoy expuesta, en carne viva y viviendo en el infierno. Pero tengo a Isaiah, y esta sosteniendome. Me deslizo por la pared hasta que puedo hacerme un pequeno ovillo en el suelo. --Te necesito. --Estoy aqui. --Y nos quedamos en silencio.

Vivir es parecido a encontrarte encadenado al fondo de un estanque poco profundo, con los ojos bien abiertos y sin aire. Puedo ver imagenes distorsionadas de momentos que causaron felicidad. La luz, incluso puedo oir risas ahogadas, pero todo esta fuera de mi alcance mientras me encuentro en esta asfixiante agonia. Si la muerte es lo contrario de la vida, entonces espero que la muerte sea como flotar.

Es el ancla que me mantiene a flote cuando me voy muy lejos. Su corazon ha sido el unico ritmo constante en mi vida y no quiero dejarlo ir. --Te amo.

The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived.
