Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1)

Product Information

Lily: Coffee sounds good. Colin not so much. Just take the notebook with you, will you? And don’t look inside, please. It’s private. Wait here, don’t move, okay?” I nod. Like I was going to do anything else. And just like that, Colin leaves and disappears into Professor Meisner’s classroom.

Lily Reyes is writing her goodbyes in a notebook. In. A. Notebook. The one that she forgot here. In an arena for everyone to find. Can’t really tell you guys the deal with her. But we’re not a thing, nor will we ever be, trust me on that. But don’t you dare touch her, dude.” His voice is strict, still has the slightest amount of discomfort in it. Lily might not want my help. Hell, she might even think I’m crazy for caring. I know it’s not any of my business. But I can’t just let her go through with it. Someone needs to show her what she will miss out on. What if suddenly two people that swore to never get involved with one another ever again, are now forced to learn how to coparent? Winter lets out a gasp, covering her mouth with her hand. She looks at me as if I just told her to kill herself.I rest my head in my hands. I can’t imagine how devastated my brother will be when he finds out that this notebook was the beginning of my ending and he held it in his hands before. When he finds out that with just one look into this book, he could have saved my life.

Winter knows I struggle with depression, but she doesn’t know how deep it goes. She thinks I take some medication that plasters a smile onto my face and makes me happy again and that’s about it. Relief instantly sweeps through my body. I give Aaron a weak smile, but eventually this weak smile turns into a genuine one. I don’t know how he does that, but just his presence makes me feel so much lighter, so much happier. I wouldn’t know what to tell you,” I reply in all honesty. It’s the truth. Even if I wanted to open up to her, I wouldn’t know what to say.Colin has blue eyes, the color I don’t trust, but for whatever reasons, I could picture him with dark eyes.

Mia told me she saw you with Aaron last Friday.” A completely drunk Winter stumbles into my room and takes a seat on my bed. Her makeup is smudged all over her face. It’s everywhere but where it’s supposed to be. She looks awful. Will nine days change everything? Will nine fun days convince Lily that there is more to life than pain and sorrow? To my surprise, Colin did not inform the counselor about my condition, at least no one tried to reach out to me yet. Maybe he didn’t read the entries after all and just looked for a name. Or maybe he asked his friends if they knew who this notebook belonged to. But that could not have been the case, I just recently bought it. No one would have known. Wishing someone to die is not okay. Not ever. No matter how deep your hatred goes. It’s never okay to wish for someone to die. My film directing class started twenty minutes ago. For some reasons my alarm decided not to go off this morning, which now makes me late for class.Your friend is gross,” I tell Aaron. He bobs his head in agreement, watching Colin flirt with yet another girl. “But so are you. You do the exact same thing.” Maybe Ana is her sister. I have no idea who Ana is, but she must be close if she is getting a letter. Colin follows me, and before I can enter the kitchen, Colin grabs onto my free hand. “Give me two weeks, Reyes.” So if there is a chance that I can be her light shining through the darkness, that I can be the yang to her yin, I have to try. There’s none. I just hear a lot about him from my best friend.” Again, I don’t believe her. But I don’t have any other choice, this girl won’t talk.

I’m not even surprised to see that everything is so organized in here, with nametags and all the fancy mason jars. They have probably ten to fifteen different kinds of noodles in here, all tagged with their names.The door to my room swings open in a swift move. It’s so fast, I barely even see it until I hear the thud it creates when the door slams into my desk. Let’s pray my door didn’t get any damage from that. But I was five, well four but soon to be five. I didn’t understand what was going on. All I knew was, I would never see my brother ever again. Actually, I have no idea why that is. I’m not much of a physics girl. I don’t understand most of it, so I ignore it. Even if she wishes for Colin to be in a happy relationship, he shouldn’t lie about it. Colin and I are neither happy together, nor in a relationship.
