"It hurts too much to care, it hurts too much to feel, to be human" I don't have the courage to look at him "Will you stay if I don't ? Will you not leave me?" The rain wipes away my tears, if only it could wash away this feeling too "I can't fix this, I can't pick up the broken pieces, I can't be the person you knew" His eyes held no emotion Maybe that was the sign I had been waiting for, maybe we were a complicated lie I was begging to let go of, maybe we never meant anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Rose, a name no one remembers and a face not all recognize. It would be hard to catch a glimpse of her without a book in one hand and a coffee in another. She'd been living life under the shelter of her favorite romance novels and a few friends whom she loved more than family. She wasn't exactly the scandalous type but she'd wish for change from time to time thinking that there might just be more to life than daydreaming about fictional characters, even though the reality of the world scares her too much. Elizabeth's organized and carefully planned summer is suddenly put at risk when her mother decides that she needs a break from their family, when her dad decides to move across the globe, when her friends seem to be doing great without her. The uptight Elizabeth Rose can feel the control slipping away when her life is turned upside down and getting engaged with the town's most reckless badass most certainly won't be of any help. !WARNING! The adorable heart wrenching small town romance may raise your expectations unrealistically high! -@Sejal91
