I'm planning on making a little time skip, and then ending their story in the second chapter. I can't make too big of a time skip because I plan on writing Winnie/Rebel's story in the same book. This is why I avoid writing epilogues(they might spoil things!) Thank you for reading! ^_^ Also, would you rather want to read about Winnie or Rebel first?
Nathan A month later I never knew my mom. She died in childbirth, and my dad always blamed her passing on me. It hurt. And I won't lie; it was damn tough growing up under the same roof as someone who despised me. I was lonely and so incredibly afraid that my heart wouldn't get to experience true
Rebel I'm lying on the couch, half-dead. I've been on chemotherapy for one week and still haven't had enough courage to shave off my hair as I promised myself I would. The doctor told me hair would begin falling two to four weeks after I started my treatment. Either gradually or in clumps. That
To my utter astonishment, my heart somersaults. It shouldn't happen—I never react like this, but Alex got me wrapped around his finger. He doesn't know it, though, and I would never admit it. I can't go falling in love before my operation, can I? And definitely not with a guy I barely know. Yet

But while Nathan is pretty, this guy is scary. That dark beard look he got going on? No. Uh-huh. Had he been my boyfriend, I would have asked him to shave it off. But his muscles, though—wow. Suddenly, the guy mutters. "It's you..." Me? Wait, what? Excuse me? I've never met this person in my
Rebel My eyes widen when Alex tells me his real name, and suddenly, I'm having this eureka moment. Faster than lightning, I'm putting all the pieces together one by one! Yesterday on the phone, Logan told me that a girl had turned him down for being too nerdy in the past. I did that to a guy last
Okay. It's pretty obvious what I want. Even with that scary-looking beard, I'm still attracted to the person I got to know, and those arms? I already imagine what Logan could do to me with his strength in bed... "What are you thinking about?" Logan asks. "I spaced out," I admit. "I can tell."
