Forever & Never
About this ebook
DIDN'T WE SAY FOREVER?
Sometimes we don't get a say in what love we fall victim to; we have to trust that it is true.
"I Promise."
We vowed forever too many times that over the last two years, the word faded meaning.
Our adolescent heartbeats reached a fatal foretelling from life's cruel realities.
Harper, a carelessly wounded spirit, is struck with blinding devastation. After Shaymus, her high school boyfriend abandons her for a fresh start at college. Countless therapies and remote rehabilitation can't make the ache in her bones gain relief. Adding insult to injury, the broken pulse inside her chest chains her to an unforgettable past.
Uncensored and sleazy, Shaymus has been avoiding his mistakes. Hoping they will catch flame, just like his heart used to do when his eyes found hers. He feels every slash of her struggle. A pain he etched into the wobble of her hips, pushing him back into the depths of his betrayal.
What's hers is mine, even our pain.
Healing comes when forgiveness and love is the only option for surviving.
A searing heartbreak, ruthlessly emotional, leads us to discover this young couple's scars.

PROMISE ME NEVER
"Tell me it wasn’t just butterflies and bullshit."
Loyalty between true love formed iron-clad restrictions. A guaranteed agreement, at least for now.
ZAILEY
It started with a few letters. My spilled confessions stained the paper along with my teardrops. The declaration wasn’t meant to take down the community. I was only seeking relief from the crippling memories my best friend Sawyer made on our adolescence. The past brought agony, people spit on my truth. As I walked through those puddles of disgust, trying to remain devoted to erasing the shame in my bloodstream.
RIVER
I refused to listen to her, I’d first staple my ears shut. My glare always focused on the ground she stood, nothing but scum. With beliefs that love was kind, that it was patient. My mother raised my brothers, and I had faith in the slogan. Apparently, the girl who holds my affection didn’t get the memo. A woman like her should come with hazardous protection. Nothing stops the soul from finding its rightful mate.
Both perspectives were tricked, caught amid a hoax by their closest candidate. Off with the masks for the final reckoning. When the truth becomes the cure, everybody catches a lie, instigating an epidemic.
