Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1)

Product Information

Without opening his mouth, Colin is conveying his mother the message he should have told his sister. And how do I know that Colin is basically telling his mother that he isn’t dating me? She nods and drops the question like she had never even asked it. I consider it for a second. But Colin most definitely looked inside. He even asked me about what I was writing before, no way he didn’t look into it when he got the chance to. Which means, if he comes, Aaron will find out. Will nine days change everything? Will nine fun days convince Lily that there is more to life than pain and sorrow?

My whole body is shaking. My mouth is dry, and I can feel the headache build up. For a moment I’m praying death won’t actually feel this way. If I were to answer, I would say no. I would tell her the truth. And maybe she should know nothing but the truth. I need my off days, Colin. Sometimes even just attending classes gets too much for me. Imagine what ten days of constant going out with someone I don’t even like would do to me,” she says. “That wouldn’t be a good time, it would be torture.” Ay, Colin. I had no idea you were stopping by this early.” A woman, I would assume around forty-five, steps into the room, looking a bit startled. Her hair is blonde, but it’s obvious that it has been bleached before. Okay, it would not be too visible if her roots weren’t dark. I’m assuming she had no time to get a touch-up. And he does completely upend her life in the course of just nine days. There are emotional stakes as people attempt to restore broken relationships, make atonement for wrongdoing, and reconnect with lost loves.Got my BMW for my twenty-first birthday, didn’t even buy it myself. I feel like a spoiled frat boy for never using it.” 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.

Aaron totally is the dating type. He just doesn’t date anymore because Winter and Aaron have this on-off thing going since freshman year. But I bet he told you all about it. Aaron adores you.” I wonder how she knows that. I mean, Aaron and I sure are pretty damn close, but there is no way she knows that for sure. And that’s just another reason for me to die. My own body hates me. My own body wants me beat down. I can’t fight this any longer. From our friend Mia, I know that Winter secretly thinks I look dead ninety per cent of the time she sees me. Which is why I hate Winter’s pity compliments.Come to think a catchphrase such as “Nine, Nine” from that TV show Brooklyn 99 would be great. Maybe like a “Trews!” you know, pleasing our college since it’s called “St. Trewery University” Okay, no, that’s just as stupid as roaring. I do have a great relationship to my father. He has never been anything but nice to me. He has always been supporting me, celebrating every victory. But he pushes me over my limits. Not that that’s a bad thing. It’s just too much sometimes.

Almost five,” he corrects. “But yeah, I guess. And then she pushed me away like I never mattered in the first place.”But then, Winter does speak to me about her boy problems. More specifically, Aaron problems. The ones I don’t want to hear of. If you ever find someone who makes you want to rip your heart out and hand it to that person on a silver platter. If you ever find someone who warms not only your bed, but also your heart and soul... hold on to them forever. They're your sun. They're what's bringing light into your life. If they can ease your pain with just being there, lighten your mood, brighten your days by simply being in your life. Colin, Eira, el or ella es tu sol - he or she is your sun.” I don’t want to leave my bedroom, but I don’t have much of a choice. If I don’t go to this game, Winter will never forgive me. And neither will Aaron. I feel like a celebrity walking the red carpet here. Just without the red carpet and camera flashing.
