Not Alone

By Christie Gordon

He's drowning in grief. I've survived that darkness. Can we rescue each other, or will love pull us under?

Ash Oakley
Our band is blowing up.
But I need a break-to surf, to breathe, to quiet the restlessness inside me.
Then I meet him.
The stunning stranger next door.
He's hurting.
I see it in his eyes and the way he carries himself like he's drowning in something too heavy to bear.
He's always at the beach, but he pushes me away when I get close.
When he finally lets me in, I realize his pain echoes my past.
I know that darkness. I survived it.
I want to help him. But I never expected to fall this hard.
And now I don't know if I'm saving him, or if he's saving me.

Micah Knowles
I came here to disappear and forget.
To heal from the wreckage of my life.
Then he shows up-Ash Oakley, rockstar, golden boy, too damn persistent for his own good.
He keeps trying to break through my walls with his easy grin and restless energy, like he sees something in me worth saving.
He says he understands.
I want to believe him.
And maybe I desire him more than I should.
