The Story of Us: Me

Dizziness. Nausea. Chest pain. Anyone would be excused for thinking I'm suffering a heart attack but, no. These are my usual symptoms when Ben Barker steps into my personal space. In most cases, they're followed by shortness of breath, a racing heart, and euphoria, but not this time. It's been almost four years since Ben and I were face-to-face. In that time, I've fallen from grace in the most spectacular way and put myself back together. Alcohol, drugs, random hookups. You name it. I was Bella, Queen of the Universe. I danced all night, slept all day. I masked my emotions so nobody would ever see the dreadful hurt, the belief I'd been guilty of the worst crime ever. I fell further and further, deeper into a hole. I spiralled so far, I became the thing I believed I was. I was unworthy of love. Now Ben is here. In front of me. He's looking at me like I'm his old Bella and no matter how much I want him, he can never know what I did try and wipe him from my memory. Our story is not over. It's simply taken a detour. *** Book 2 to of series *** new adult themes and situations *** drug use *** sex scenes ***cliffhanger
