A Love So Bright

<p><em>One word can hold tremendous power. One word can change everything.</em></p><p><br></p><p>I never imagined it would come to this. That I would fall for Micah Reed.</p><p>That I would open my heart once more. And get it crushed. Again.</p><p><br></p><p>The moment I let him in the second our relationship evolved fate threw an epic curve ball.</p><p>One we can't ignore. One I don't know I can endure.</p><p>But call me a glutton for punishment.</p><p><br></p><p><em>One word stole my breath. One word had my knees ready to buckle.</em></p><p><br></p><p>I refuse to believe anything without proof. Refuse to let someone ruin my life.</p><p>Call me a d-bag I don't care. Deep down I know the truth.</p><p>Now if only Peyton would believe it too.</p><p><br></p><p>My relationship with Peyton is headed in the right direction. Her fire is no longer fueled by hate.</p><p>Now I know the taste of her lips. The softness of her skin. The warmth of her touch.</p><p>And no one will steal her from me. No one.</p><p><br></p><p>I fell for Micah Reed.</p><p><em>I fell for Peyton Alexander.</em></p><p><br></p><p>Was it all for nothing?</p><p><em>Will she abandon me when I need her most?</em></p>
