Rain by Christie Cote
Expected Release Date: May 6, 2014
Taylor Sullivan took her life for granted until she received news that would change her life forever. In a state of denial she met Kyle, who didn’t end up being what she expected. She wasn’t able to escape her new reality, but with his friendship, just maybe she could survive it.
He wasn’t kissing me like I was going to break; he was kissing me like he thought he would break without this kiss.

Kyle must have seen my panic, because when I looked up at him again, his jacket and shirt were off and he was handing me his shirt. The sight of him with no shirt on hit me. Holy hell, what was he doing?

Blind Affair
I carefully step into the house taking a deep breath. I catch a scent that stops me abruptly making me almost knock over the lamp to my right. The door creaks shut as my mind speeds up thinking in overdrive. I smell a perfume that is not mine. My sense of smell has sharpened greatly since I lost my sight.
One day I was driving home from work, and a car went speeding through a red light and hit me. The glass from the windows shattered and went into my eyes, and I have not been able to see since. I was lucky enough to live through it, and for that I am grateful. Luckily, or so I thought at the time, my fiancé, and now husband James was there to help me get through the change. It was not an easy change, and I became depressed for months, but he stood by me the whole time.
My husband was supposed to be working until five, and I was planning to spend the day with my friend Jess until eight, but I came home early due to not feeling well. My stomach had been doing flips, and I wasn’t being much company, so I decided to go home early and get some rest.
It was only a little after two, so no one was supposed to be home. I heard a hushed voice coming from my bedroom.
“What was that?” the feminine voice asked.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing,” James’ strong voice assured her. I cringed not believing what I heard.
Throw Back Thursday
I wrote this from some kind of writing prompt, I believe around 2008-2009. I need to be better about dating things…

Haily Carter lie on her bed exhausted for no reason at all. The summer was almost over, and she didn’t have much to show for it. She barley hung out with her friends because she was always tired, which she couldn’t explain because she got plenty of sleep. Haily looked at herself in the mirror disgusted. She didn’t even like to wear shorts or tank tops anymore because she has so many bruises. She looked at them puzzled and traced them with her fingertips. Where did these all come from? She questioned to herself. It seemed like every day she had a new bruise that just seemed to appear.
Throw Back Thursday!
This is the opening paragraph to the first story that I began writing. I believe I started it somewhere between seventh and eighth grade.

“Uh, got into a fight with the kitchen or something?” he asked, smirking.
I ran my hands through my hair and felt remains of the fruit as I did and cringed. Well, this must be attractive. I motioned for him to come into the living room and shut the door behind him.
“Something like that,” I replied coolly.
He walked past me and went to the kitchen, probably to get a better look. “Well, I see you won. The fruit won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe the apples. Those look like they need some more killing.”

“There is a flaw to your plan.” A sly grin crept onto his face once again.
My eyebrow arched at him questioningly.
“I live across the street,” he told me; and, without another word, he turned around toward his house. Then I realized what he’d meant. I’d told my problems to a stranger I would probably see again.
