Quicksand

Chapter 1

Everyone knows my story at least they think they do.

I'm the girl who's stalker murdered her parents. Simply because he wanted to get my attention.

In response to that. I was given all the wealth my parents had ever earned. Which should of been the start of my fairytale.

But truthfully I could care less about the money or the way this raised my status in this small town.

Ted and Victoria were barely ever parents to me.

Yet i found myself yearning for a love and affection

That was never mine to have.

Peyton and I began living together after that. Which was an adventure for a couple years.

17 to 23. It was then that she moved out to be with Jake full time.

I was on my own again. In a house too big for one person.

Lucas and I had decided to keep it as friends. Since our break up in high school.

That made the dynamic between us alot easier to process.

Until one of us mentioned the idea of friends with benefits.

Honestly i was against it. But since we all hung out at each other's houses and sometimes spent the night.

It made alot of sense. Lucas and I were single. And had tried and attempted dating in and out of town.

None of it resulting to anything.

So i agreed.

No feelings. No cuddling. Nothing but sex. Whenever we could have it within our schedules.
