Zoey Fisher
dedicated her entire life to dancing in hopes that one day it would pay off
with a full ride to the school of her dreams. When luck grants her that wish
she’s faced with leaving the only family she has behind to build a life of her
own in city hundreds of miles away.
Soon after the
sheltered young girl begins to step into a World that is the Polar opposite of
her own. Drugs, sex, and deceit paint her once colorful self black with no hope
of turning back.
Will Zoey be
granted a second chance to show her worth? Or will the boy that owns her heart
permanently drag her down the rabbit hole?
I barely heard the
sound of his deep inhale as I focused on his lips. Perfectly, kissable lips. My
heart beat wildly within my chest as my gaze shifted back to his. His navy-grey
eyes conveyed a message I was powerless to resist.
He stepped closer
and covered my mouth with his. My lips parted in surprise. He exhaled and
instinctively, I inhaled.
I jerked away as
the smoke raced down my throat. My lungs burned as the smoke hit them forcing a
round of heavy coughs.
He patted me on the
back. “You okay?”
His eyes were mere
inches from mine.
I nodded and
covered my mouth until I caught my breath enough to huff,
“Why…did…you…do…that?”
“You didn’t tell me
not to.” He smirked.
“You didn’t even
ask!” I sucked a clean breath of air into my lungs and felt the effects of the
marijuana coursing through me. I backed up a step. “I—I can’t believe you did
that,” I whispered then turned and took off toward my apartment.
“I’m sorry!”
My nerves spiked as
I heard the sounds of his footsteps following me. Not wanting him to know which
apartment was mine, I stopped well before I reached my door and turned. “Why
are you following me?” A giggle rolled up my throat. Maybe from the marijuana?
“I didn’t mean to
upset you.” His thick dark eyebrows pulled deep in the center as he ran a hand
through his hair. “I thought it would help you chill out a bit. You seemed on
edge.”
“You don’t think a
complete stranger kissing me wouldn’t upset me? I don’t even know your name for
Christ’s sake!” My mouth was as dry as a desert and my yell croaked like a big
fat bullfrog.
“Hendrix.” He
smiled.
“What?” I breathed.
“Hendrix. That’s my
name.”
“Like Jimi
Hendrix?” I laughed without being able to stop myself.
“Yep.”
“Well, that’s
pretty fitting.”
“Stereotype much?”
He crossed his arms over his chest.
“If the shoe fits…”
Another round of laughter passed my lips.
Hendrix let out his
own round of laughter. “Touché.”
