The Language of Love

Hey folks! No, your eyes do not deceive you! This is me starting and posting a new story. Technically, I was going to post this over the summer, but I kept hitting road blocks, got lazy, and well, frankly, lost confidence in my writing. But I come to you today, er night, because I'm under a lot of stress and I needed an outlet. One that will hopefully, get me some positive remarks/feedback, although I'm not adverse to constructive critism either. But anyways, this is a new pairing for me but I ship it so haaaard. Lol. I've read a crap load of stories for them and I love it, so I decided to try my hand at it. So we'll see how this goes.

See me at the bottom.

Prologue

BPOV

I knew that the minute I stepped inside that shop my life was going to change. Whether or not it was going to be a good or bad change remains to be seen. One thing I did know was that if I didn't go in, well, I'd be stuck with this pain for the rest of my life, which is one lifetime too long.

Pull yourself together, Bella, you can do this.

I straightened my shoulders and set my jaw. Looking up at the sign, I took a deep breath in then blew it out and reached for the door.

Today was going to make me or break me.

I just hoped I made it because if I broke, I'm sure I'd be able to put myself back together again.

So, that pique your interest?

If enough folks are interested, I may start posting on a regular schedule, but as of right now, I'll be posting when I feel like it. I'm not sure how long this story will be but I hope to be at least two chapters ahead at all times, simply for my sanity. Also, I have just about everything outlined so I know where it's going. Chapters may start out on the small side but they will get longer. Once these folks start talking to me, it's all over then.

Also, I'm in the market for a Beta, one that's preferrably over 18 due to the material that this story will eventually touch. PM me if interested. Being able to bounce off of someone will greatly help aside from editing and pre-reading.

I may post tomorrow, so be on the look out.

Night, folks.
