As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it’s one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took “mean girl” to a whole new level, and it’s clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She’s getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she’s falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night isn’t just buried deep inside of Sam’s memory-someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet.

Nothing about the rural road looked familiar or  friendly. Tall, imposing trees and overgrown weeds choked the front of the dilapidated home.  Windows were boarded up. There was a gaping hole where the front door had been. I shivered,  wanting to be far away from here…wherever here was. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWalking felt harder than it should be, and I stumbled off the chilly asphalt, wincing as  sharp gravel dug into my feet. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy bare feet? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI stopped and looked down. Chipped pink nail polish peeked through the dirt…and blood.  Mud caked the legs of my pants, leaving the hems stiff. It made sense, seeing as how I wasn’t  wearing any shoes, but the blood…I didn’t understand why there was blood staining the knees of  my jeans. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy vision clouded and dulled, as if a gray film had been dropped over my eyes. As I  stared at the weathered asphalt under my feet, large and smooth rocks replaced the tiny stones.  Something dark and oily seeped over the rocks, slipping through the cracks.  Sucking in a sharp gasp, I blinked and the image was gone. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHands trembling, I raised them. They were also covered with dirt and scratches. My nails  were broken, bloodied. A silver ring wrapped, encased in soil, around my thumb. Air froze in my  chest as my gaze crawled over my arms. The sleeves of my sweater were torn, revealing pale  flesh covered in bruises and gashes. My legs started to shake as I swayed forward. I tried to  remember how this had happened, but my head was empty—a black void where nothing existed.  A car drove by, coasting to a stop a few feet in front of me. Somewhere in the trenches of  my subconscious, I recognized the flashing red and blue lights as a source of safety. Elegantly  scrawled along the black-and-gray side of the cruiser were the words ADAMS COUNTY SHERIFF’S  DEPARTMENT. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAdams County? A flash of familiarity came and went. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe driver’s door opened, and a deputy stepped out. He said something into the radio on  his shoulder before he looked at me. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Miss?” He started around the cruiser, taking tentative steps. He looked young for a  deputy. Barely out of high school and able to carry a gun seemed wrong somehow. Was I in high  school? I didn’t know. “We’ve received some calls into dispatch concerning you,” he said  gently. “Are you okay?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI tried to respond, but only a hoarse squeak came out. Clearing my throat, I winced as the  motion scratched and pulled. “I…I don’t know.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Okay.” The deputy held up his hands as he approached me, as if I were a skittish deer  about to bolt. “My name is Deputy Rhode. I’m here to help you. Do you know what you’re doing  out here?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“No.” Knots formed in my belly. I didn’t even know where here was. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis smile strained. “What’s your name?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy name? Everyone knew their name, but as I stared at the deputy, I couldn’t answer his  question. The knots started twisting more. “I don’t…I don’t know what my name is.”  He blinked, and the smile was completely gone. “You don’t remember anything?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI tried again, concentrating on the empty space between my ears. That was how it felt.  And I knew that wasn’t good. My eyes started to tear up. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Miss, it’s okay. We’ll get you taken care of.” He reached out, lightly taking hold of my  arm. “We’ll get this sorted.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDeputy Rhode led me around the back of his cruiser. I didn’t want to sit behind the  Plexiglas, because I knew that wasn’t good. Only bad people sat behind the glass in police  cruisers. I wanted to object, but before I could say anything, he settled me into the seat and  wrapped a coarse blanket around my shoulders. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBefore he locked me in the bad part of the car, he knelt and smiled reassuringly. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Everything’s going to be okay.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut I knew he was lying, trying to make me feel better. It didn’t work.

But at the rate she’s going, Cathy is afraid she’ll give the Virgin Queen a run for her money. She is tired of waiting for someone good enough to come along.

My legs slipped and I slid the rest of the way to the ground, my head stopping my fall. Maybe I was drunker than I thought. The doorbell rang as I scrambled up from my spot on the floor. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I’ve got it!” Chadwick took off to the front door, his steps a little too loud. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBacking away from the pole, I took a running jump and grabbed directly in the middle.

A man was standing next to Chadwick, wearing a backpack and carrying a large duffel bag. His dark eyes ran over my body and I shivered, which was a bad thing. My hands slipped and I fell, crashing to the floor with a loud oof. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Are you okay?” Sam ran over and helped me stand up, but I wasn’t feeling any pain. In fact, I was feeling awesome. Looking past Sam’s shoulder, I smiled at the hottie and waved. He was perfection, from his messy dark hair down to his scuffed boots. And exactly what we needed to end the night with a bang. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Heeeyyooou. I don’t remember hiring a stripper, but boy am I glad you showed up.” I let Sam help me up to my feet and wondered why she was making a choking sound. I slapped her on the back, worried. “Are you okay?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I’m fine. Fine!” Sam barked a laugh. “That’s not—” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Good! Because it looks like I outdid myself!” I turned her around with a flourish to look at the delicious man standing on the stairs. His shirt strained across his chest as he shifted his feet and I found myself thinking about tracing my fingers across those hard lines. I let my eyes run over him instead, taking in the tight plaid shirt, worn jeans, and work boots. There was nothing polished or metropolitan about him. Everything screamed outdoors. And I liked it. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Cathy,” Sam tried to stop me, but I shrugged her off and skipped up the steps. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“What are you supposed to be? A lost lumberjack?” I pulled the heavy bag out of his hands and set it on the ground. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“We’ll, c’mon! Someone start some music.” I gyrated my hips a little and wiggled my eyebrows. “Take it off, bab-ay!” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“If you insist, gorgeous.” His American accent gave me pause as a dim memory tried to fight through the fog in my brain, but it didn’t last long. His eyes stayed locked on mine as his calloused fingers worked the top couple of his buttons free. I wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol, or just his deep brown eyes, but I was entranced. I didn’t even notice when Sam climbed the stairs. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI couldn’t look away from him as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and exposed the skin underneath. The need to touch that tantalizing bit of flesh raced through me and my fingers twitched. Hypnotized by eye the color of melted chocolate, I leaned forward. One corner of his mouth turned up into a smirk and it only added to his appeal. Where it might have been a turn off in another man, It simply added to this strippers appeal. I smiled in response, eager for him to continue. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“God, please don’t, David. I’ll never be able to look at you again.” She covered his hands with her own and laughed, her cheeks a bright red. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“David?” I looked at him, confused, before looking over my shoulder at Jess. She was nodding her head with wide eyes like I was supposed to remember something. “David?” I said the name again, mulling over what that could mean. I looked down at the bag I had taken from him and my eyes landed on his boots. It was then that a moment of clarity surged through my mind like a stampede of wild horses and I covered my mouth. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Oh God.” A wave of nausea hit me. “You’re Sam’s friend.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI promptly turned around and threw up into a potted plant.    \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: whitesmoke; line-height: 1.4; padding: 12px;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/i.minus.com\/iT9j8avvroT5x.jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"\" border=\"0\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-38\" src=\"http:\/\/i.minus.com\/iT9j8avvroT5x.jpeg\" width=\"250\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cem\u003EAbout the Author:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENichole Chase is a daydreamer.

And the second, getting to the bottom of her brother Reed’s recent strange behavior. His secret is destroying his relationship with his fiancée Caroline, and Lexi will do anything to help him save it.

I’m the furthest you can get from a romantic, so the thought catches me by surprise. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Thank you,” she finally says. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHer words bring me back to reality. “Why are you with Tina when you obviously don’t want to be?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“It’s a long story.” She sighs and rests her cheek against my chest. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHer touch is electrifying and I suck in a deep breath. What the fuck is wrong with me? “I can wait you out all night,” I say, “but I’m not letting you go back until you tell me.” I’m not sure this is the right way to handle it, not after watching her threaten Tattoo Guy. She obviously bites when backed into a corner, but she has to know that I’m on her side. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShe relaxes into me a bit and stumbles.

If it was him…” her voice softens. “I want this information, but I don’t want it that bad.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI place a finger under her chin and tilt it up so I can study her face. “What makes this information so valuable to you that you’ll go through with so much humiliation to get it?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShe hesitates. “Have you ever loved someone so much you’d give up everything for them?” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHave I? No, it’s a sad fact, but there it is. I never really loved Sabrina. She forced the relationship on me, not that I fought it after we slept together at the frat party. She was good in bed and it was easy in the beginning, before her true colors started showing through the cracks of her perfect persona. Later, I ignored the neediness and the constant bitching, expecting her to break up with me when I no longer seemed to fulfill her expectations of partying and socializing. And then when I ended it, I paid the price for all those months of complacency. But when I look into Alexa’s face, I realize I want that kind of love for someone. The all-encompassing, all-consuming, you can’t think about anyone or anything else kind of love. This girl makes me think that kind of love is possible, especially with someone like her. And that scares the shit out of me. “No.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Neither have I. I’d like to think I do, but honestly I don’t think I would have done what he did for me.

She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period.  Her hobbies include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.)  Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes.
