Here it is! The first chapter of Glitter in the Air. I own nothing. And if you haven't read Breakeven, I suggest you do. This will make more sense.
So here it is.
The Truth
Jason Aldean
Dimitri
I sat on the plane knees shaking, hand trembling as they held the leather bond western novel in my hand. I took a deep breath and tried to ignore the dull aching pain in my chest. Was she listening? Did she hear the song? My message? Did she know where I was going? Did she understand?
If I was to get any sleep over the next…God knows how long-I was going to need to stop worrying. I was going to have to be calm. The old woman next to me tapped my shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
I smiled and nodded, "Yes, ma'am." I turned back to the book and stared blankly at the page, the words blurring together into a blobbed black ink. A tear dropped on the page.
I dragged myself into the restroom and stared into the mirror. The captain came over the loudspeakers and told us that we were twenty minutes from touch down. I returned to my seat and tuned out for the rest of the ride.
What would Rose tell everyone at the academy? The truth? No, she's too smart and too clever to do that. She'll tell them that I got another job or that I went on a trip. That I went to see my family. That she doesn't know where I went but I must be sick or something because I was acting really weird. She'll thing of something. It just won't be the truth.
The plane landed and I stepped off with a nodded to the captain. The airport was busy and I got out as quickly as I could. Once in a cab I told the driver to take me to the nearest motel.
Did Rose even know the truth? What was the truth? The truth…
The truth is I fell for her again and I could keep away. But I knew I had to, she was with Adrian. She I gave her a chose, me or him. It was cruel but it was her chose.
The cab driver pulled into the motel parking lot and let me out. I grabbed a newspaper on my way to the counter. The peppy girl gave me a key and a smile. I dragged myself up the stairs and into the room. Throwing my bag onto the bed and looked at the classified section of the newspaper. Scanning the list of apartments I found the one I wanted. The one Rose and the princess stayed in when I captured them. That's where I first saw Rose, that's where I'll be if she ever comes back. I'd get her back, but it'll but her chose. She'll choose right. She has to. I'm the right chose, right? Right?
What did you think?
It was short, I know but I'm almost done with the next chapter.
Review plzzzz!
