If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever. ~ Winnie the Pooh

You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel. ~ Johnny Depp

Prologue

Sometimes you have to stand alone, just to make sure you still can.

Chapter 1

“Loving someone is taking a constant risk with your emotions. When you find the right person, the one you know you want to be with, that person becomes worth the risk.”

“He’s no one.” The words are heavy as they fall from my lips. He was definitely someone. He was my everything for the briefest, most intense moment of my life.

Chapter 2

“We always have a choice. And you choose to stay. Don’t ever downplay that. Most people would run like hell from all that responsibility. I would.”
I gaze into his eyes, see all the admiration and passion and…something else in their beautiful blue depths. “You underestimate yourself, Drew. As usual.”
“Fine. I’ve always run away in the past. But you, Fable. You make me want to stay.”

He asks me to rescue him and then he ditches me. Tells me he loves me in a note and never replies to my calls or texts. He’s a jerk.
He’s an asshole.
I’m in love with a jerky asshole and damn, that’s painful to admit.

Have you ever done something so incredibly stupid, the guilt and regret hang over you like the darkest, heaviest cloud? Blurring your judgment, consuming your soul until it's the only thing you can see, hear or think about?
I have. I've done a lot of things I regret, that fill me with guilt. But the absolute worst is the thing I did yesterday.
I left the girl I love alone, naked in her bed. Like some sort of macho asshole who uses a girl for sex and then leaves her—that's me. I've turned into that guy.
But I'm not really that guy. I love the girl I left alone naked in her bed. I just don't deserve her.
And I know it.

Prológus

"We’ve talked a lot about what happened. And about you.”
“About me?” I’m shocked. After he left so easily, I figured he forgot all about me.
“Definitely about you.” He trails his fingers down my cheek and I release a shuddering breath. “You have no idea how important you are to me, do you?”
I slowly shake my head. “When you left, I figured we were finished. I thought you were over me.”
“I could never be over you.”

True love isn’t easy, but it must be fought for. Once you find it, it can never be replaced.
