Act of Trusting

<p>There was a sadness in her clear gray eyes that I could see she tried to hide. A fight with her inner demons she didn't want to show anyone...</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Camden Collins</strong></p><p>Life was going well for me. I was on the right track: captain of the soccer team grades were passing and I had the respect of my team. Girls threw themselves at me. It was every twenty-year-old's dream.</p><p>Then I saw her...</p><p>One look at her and it all changed. Something about her drew me in. A sense of protectiveness to guard this small sad girl. In her eyes I could see the fight she had within herself...and I wanted to be there for her. To protect her and be someone to lean on while she fought whatever it was. Nothing else seemed to matter but the dark-haired beautiful girl I couldn't stay away from.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Blaire Wentworth</strong></p><p>I wasn't the same girl I was four years ago. My life was stolen from me one night and I'd never have the chance to get old me back. Now I was just existing not living. I went through the motions of my everyday routine staying quiet and keeping to myself. Trusting and letting people in was a constant struggle.</p><p>Until he showed up...</p><p>I'd never seen someone like him before. Not once had I described a guy as beautiful but that's what he was. He struck something in me and I didn't know how to handle that. I was chasing nightmares no one knew about. Ones I kept to myself for a reason. Could I let this new person into my life that I had kept closed off from many for far too long? What if I let my guard down and he ended up destroying me?</p><p>And that became my greatest fear...</p>
