Everything I Shouldn’t
It’s been eight days, sixteen hours and forty-seven minutes since life as I know it ended. I know, it sounds so melodramatic and teen-soap worthy, but it’s the truth. Eight days, sixteen hours and forty-seven minutes since David found out. Since he kicked Jeremy out, ended their friendship and told me I could never see him again.
I didn’t plan on David getting suspicious, and I definitely didn’t plan on getting caught. My selfishness has cost Jeremy everything, my brother won’t even look at me, Lyric must hate me for practically blackmailing her to keep silent and my best friend is barely speaking to me.
Now my life is full of secrets and lies. The people around me have been affected by the choices I’ve made and the lies I’ve told. But what will they do when they discover the biggest secret of them all?
Jeremy is everything I shouldn't want, and the person I can't live without.
Excerpt
Mel’s eyes narrow and she stalks over towards her. “I hope you’re
happy,” she says, pointing a finger at SB’s chest.
SB stops dead in the middle of the room and her eyes widen when she
sees Mel’s tear-stained face. “Um, I’m sorry?” She looks between us both, her
brow furrowing in confusion. “What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?” Mel laughs, but it’s humorless. “You want to know
what’s going on? That’s rich. I was hoping you could tell me!” Her voice rises
as she speaks, and she looks a little scary. I can’t blame SarahBeth for moving
away from her slowly. It doesn’t stop Mel though, she just follows her as she
rages. “We’ve been together for three years, and suddenly, he tells me
that we can’t be together any longer.” I didn’t think it was possible, but
SarahBeth’s eyes get even wider. “I can’t help but think that it has something
to do with you, SarahBeth.”
“I…I….” SarahBeth stutters, completely stunned. The bags she was
carrying when she walked into the room have long since fallen to the floor as
she tries to process what’s going on here.
She looks to me for guidance and I shake my head before returning my
attention to Mel. “Melanie, this has nothing to do with SarahBeth. I
told you, I just don’t want to be in a relationship right now.” The excuse
sounds lame even to my ears so I’m fairly certain that Melanie won’t buy it
either.
“Right, Jeremy. Nothing
at all to do with her, huh?” Her eyes narrow as she holds my gaze, but I won’t
be the first to crack. I stare silently back at her, unwilling to acknowledge
her concerns, until finally she huffs and turns away. “Whatever. I’m sure as
hell not going to stand here and argue with you about it. I have more
self-respect for myself than that.” Then, turning to SarahBeth, she says, “If
there truly isn’t anything going on here, then I’m sorry for bringing you into
our argument. Somehow though, I really doubt that that’s the case.” With those
words, she gives me one last glare before leaving the room and slamming the
front door behind her.
~REVIEW~
Jeremy helped raise Sarabeth along with his best friend & SaraBeth's brother, David. Jeremy was the one that was there for her while David sorted out his life and started a new business. Jeremy always knew Sarabeth had a crush on him and over the years his feelings changed for her as well. As much as he tried to fight it her knew deep down there was only Sarabeth for him. When he finally gave in to her advances and decided he had to be with her it was everything they both could have imagined and more. But they kept their relationship from everyone and it blows up in their face. Now Jeremy is not making her choose between him and her brother, David is beyond angry but Lyric, David's girlfriend, she is the only one that has forgiven her and is now by her side in this time of need. Some hot sex scenes.
Cliffhanger ending with a surprise.
