The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy. It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever. In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret. People warned me against our love, but I didn't listen.

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy.Ī beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too. I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for. He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.īut, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man-a cold, lonely, detached man. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.

I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…Įven though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.Īs the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.Įach day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.Įverything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.Īll I wanted was for him to come back to me. Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.Īfter fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.
