You guys have been amazing. Thank you all for your kind words and waiting for me. Giving myself some time has definitely helped a lot. I've slowly started to write again on my days off, but due to conflicting schedules, my Beta and I haven't been able to get together to edit things. So, until we can get the chapters edited, I won't be posting them. However, I'd like to do something for you all. Below is a sneak peak of the unedited versions of the newest chapter.
Please enjoy them as my thanks to you all.
Also feel free to review with what you think is going to happen in this chapter, what you'd like to see in future chapters, etc. It would be awesome to hear this stuff and see what you all think!
With Love,
KarleighAnn

Chapter. 9
The oversized posters in my face tell me that prom is right around the corner. I roll my eyes at the thought. Edward took me last year after the Phoenix incident. Even after we went together I didn't enjoy it. Prom never interested me. All that dancing, sweaty bodies, and the dresses. Ugh, definitely not me.
Closing my locker, I pick my backpack off the ground and head for the parking lot. Thank goodness the day is over. Sighing, I push the doors open and halt in my tracks. My breath whooshes out and a smile creeps onto my face.
Jacob is leaning against his motorcycle staring in the direction of the woods. People are gawking and whispering to one another as he catches their attention. When I take a step forward, his head turns in my direction.
A hush falls over my classmates when I reach Jacob. He steps away from his bike and wraps his arms around my waist to lift me into a kiss. Ignoring the crowd behind us, I greedily kiss him back. This starts a new round of whispering and giggling.
I pull back reluctantly and smile. "Watcha doing here?"
"I came to pick my girlfriend up. Everyone's hanging at Sam's place. They are already asking for you."
"Perfect. Just let me follow behind you-" I stop once I realize my truck is missing from its spot.
A helmet is lowered onto my head. "Had enough time to Hotwire your truck and take it back to my place. C'mon you're riding with me," Jake says as he slides his arm around my waist.
"You sly dog," I joke while sticking my tongue out at him once I face him.
I squeal as he lifts me up and places me on his bike. A quiet giggle escapes me once I'm seated and he mounts himself in front of me. I wrap my arms around his waist as he starts the bike up. Before we peel out of the parking lot, I happen to catch the shocked face of Mike Newton as he points at us while punching Tyler in the arm.
