Obviously, it has been awhile since I have posted anything but that is because I have been working on the second story called Silently Hoping Through Life. It picks up right where Fantasizing Through Life left off where Tiara had ran away from Ian, her friends, and everything that made her who she was. I'm a weirdo who doesn't like to start posting a story if I'm not completely done writing. I have many other things to do other than writing sadly so I wouldn't want to keep you all waiting long for each chapter. Some important things to know before reading the next story is that there is a lot more sex (I don't know how some of you will handle that). A bit of mystery, more Cody and Cheynne (I hope you like them), some more celebrities (one in particular I used but changed the name I will let you know), and of course more drama. I miss posting and I'm an impatient person that doesn't even like making other people so I decided to give you a little sneak peek of the story:) enjoy!

Point of View: Ian Somerhalder

"You've analyzed every part of that letter you know she was crying when she wrote it and you probably have every word memorized," Cody said.

"Well I'm sorry I can't get over the only woman I have ever truly loved." I leaned back in my black office chair trying to find something else to focus on but it didn't work.

"When did Tiara leave?"

"November 9, 2012"

"Exactly it's January 12, 2013 it's been two months."

"I don't care."

"Don't talk to me like you talk to everyone else. I see how torn up you are so don't put up that tough guy façade."

"It's not a façade I don't feel like talking about it right now."

"No you do because you are always thinking about her. We need to put an end to this gloomy cloud over you."

"Tiara is not a fucking 'gloomy cloud' she was my everything and still is. Put yourself in my shoes what if Cheynne was the one who left in November?"

"…I know you're hurt man but don't you think it's time to at least try and start to move on? You have broken down every conversation she had that day and not one clue. You won't even go into her office. One day soon, you will have to see how she left everything. We haven't heard from her, Cheynne hasn't heard from her, and neither has the world. It seems like Tiara has dropped off the face of the earth doesn't that show you she doesn't want to be found? If she doesn't want to be found then she won't simple as that."

"She loves me still I know she does if I knew she had moved on then I would've stopped thinking about her. I missed something that day one of those people know where she went or at least a clue. Maybe it's so obvious that my mind keeps skimming over it but I'm not going to stop looking. I narrowed it down before and I will do it again."

Janice opened the door, "Sorry to interrupt Mr. Somerhalder but you have a meeting in five."

"Thank you Janice. We will finish this later Cody."

When I do start posting I will keep it under the same story file but just label the titles, SHTL: Chapter whatever. I also will try to post half a chapter twice a week and see how that works. I will officially start posting on December 21, 2012 even if I'm not completely done think of it as an early holiday gift:) Let the countdown begin... 8 days until the release of Silently Hoping Through Life:)

Until the 21st,
