Something Only We Know

Love is not an open door. Love is not a game. Love is not a fairytale. When the game of love leaves seventeen year old Serena Waltz heartbroken, betrayed and almost dead, life offers her another chance to begin again. But under one fatal condition: That is never to fall in love, again. In a new neighborhood miles away from home, concealing her identity by disguising herself as a dork, Serena determines to lead a quiet, simple life unharmed by her dark past. That is exactly what she wanted. Until she meets Adrian. ______________________________________ I haven't met anyone like her. I can see her falling for me, but then she stands back, her shield and armor by her side. She is afraid of herself. She doesn't want me in her life. She is the type that just disappears. "Don't expect anything from me," she says. "Why?" I ask. "Because I'm just a wind that passes by. I can't be anything more." Fine. Let me be gone with that wind. No reasons. No issues. No explanations. "Please. Just stay a little bit longer." I plead. Her eyes meet up with mine, clearly showing curiosity. "Why?" Her question leaves me stranded on an island of thoughts. I wish she'd disappear like she'd always wanted. But something in me doesn't want to let go. Perhaps, there's something in her telling her to stay. Whatever, that something is, it is the root of what we are. We fight, we collide, we hate each other and split apart. But we always come back for that something. And I don't want our something to end. This is the story where we discover Something only we know.
