Description by Author:
My name is Nicole Marie Anderson. I was born
in Fernie, British Columbia, Canada. My life has been quite the roller coaster
ride. The best part of my childhood was my sister, Chloe. She made it better in
many ways. We had a seventeen year difference, so she mostly took care of me.
My parents weren't what you'd call loving. They provided well for us, but they
never made us feel understood. Definitely didn't bother in supporting our hopes
and dreams.
Chloe wanted to be a chef, but our parents
just thought it was a waste of time. As I got older, I wanted to be a
writer/English school teacher. Yep, they didn't like that choice either. They
thought wanting to be a writer was a pipe dream going no where.
Our parents were more interested in their
lives than ours. They worked hard to save money to be able to retire as young
as possible. All their extra money went into their retirement fund. They didn't
feel the need to save up to help pay for an education for either of us, since
they didn’t agree with what we wanted to study.
I remember being more sad than happy growing
up. All my happy memories were of my sister. Then when she married, I thought I
was going to be all alone. Her husband, Jayden, made me feel welcome in their
home anytime I wanted.
I didn't have many friends and had a zero
interest in dating anyone. Until I met Chase Williams on my seventeenth
birthday at a mutual party, we were both invited to. Looking back, it was love
at first sight. Even though at the time my mind was pushing the happily ever
after theory out the window. My heart was trying hard to open up, but the idea
of having my heart broken scared me.
Chloe and Jayden had a rock hard solid
marriage. They loved and respected each other. Jayden worked his ass off to
provide for her and the twins they had a year and a half after their wedding.
Lily and Logan were kind, loving, adorable kids. It showed they were being
raised well.
I never imagined that my life would be filled
with considerable amounts of love, lies and loss. Being heartbroken seemed
never-ending from a young age. The bombshell hit eight months after my
seventeenth birthday. I couldn't believe what was happening and certainly
didn't know what the hell to do with all this information.
*This is a fiction novel with strong
language, sexual content and tragic scenes.
