 ROSE IN BLOOM

Skylar

“Are you sure you are feeling up to this?” Connie speaks softly to me, as she stands beside me holding my trembling hand.

“Yes, I’m sure,“ I manage through my sobs.
 

Even if it is too late, I owe him this much.
 

Connie squeezes my hand as she steadies me to walk closer to him.
 

“I’m going to let you have some time alone with him,” she says softly as she releases my hand and leaves. I’m not sure I can stand for long on my own, so I grab the rail of his bed.

Shock overtakes me and paralyzes me in my spot, while I stare at him lying in front of me.

His handsome face looks so peaceful, even with the tubes that they have still attached to him.
 

I’m dying now. My soul is officially broken.

Reaching for his hand, I am instantly sickened by the intense coldness of it.  I see the tears drip down on him and soak his hospital gown. Grief overtakes me.   I fling myself down on top of him and breakdown.  I feel every emotion, as it rushes over me.  Shock, denial, and then anger.  I scream through my tears at him. I scream at God for doing this to me.  I scream at the thought of being left here without him.

“OH GOD! SEBASTIAN!!!!! How can I do this on my own?
 I LOVE YOU! I need you! OUR BABY NEEDS YOU!!!” I yell at his lifeless body, before collapsing on to his chest.

The doors fly open. I know they are going to make me leave, but they are going to have to force me.
 Disoriented, I look up over my shoulder and Lucas’ horrified emerald eyes lock into mine.  I see the pain in them and I can’t look at him.  All I have ever wanted was to fall in love and be loved; but instead I do nothing but devastate people and hurt them.  I break our stare and close my eyes, before dropping my head back down at Sebastian. When I open my eyes, warm amber eyes blink open and are staring back into mine.

“Skylar.” H
e whispers hoarsely.

A message from Mia Michelle…

Mia Michelle

Mia fell in love with the literary world at a very young age and began putting her active imagination to pen and paper at the age of six.
Over the years, she has filled up numerous shelves with her notebooks and journals of her favorite stories. Twelve years ago, Mia began drafting
The Rose of Thorne
Series and through the encouragement of a close friend, decided to finally take the leap of faith to bring her dream to life. She openly admits to having a hopeless infatuation with her Kindle and suffers from the one-click book addiction (No intervention required).

Mia is currently a stay at home mom who has mastered the fine art of making a PB&J sandwich in between laundry and shuttling kids to ballet and swimming. In her spare time (“What spare time?” She laughs), she enjoys photography, traveling, and having a girls night out with her pals. She enjoys the simple things in life: such as sleeping more than three hours per night and ten minute showers without being interrupted by children yelling “mommy” from the other side of the bathroom door.

Mia Michelle resides in Tennessee with her soul mate and husband of eighteen years and their two beautiful young children. She is currently working on some new and exciting projects to be released in 2014!
 Be sure to keep your eye out!

Once, there was a girl who had a dream.  Like many often do, the girl thought it would always remain just that… a dream. She secretly spent hours of her time getting lost in her stories, as she frantically brought her characters to life in her journals.  Years went by and soon those journals filled a shelf, then a bookcase, and then part of a room.  The girl grew up, married, and had a family, but she never stopped dreaming or writing. 

One day, a life long friend took her hand, smiled, and whispered the encouraging words to chase that dream, “I believe in you.”

Returning home, the girl nervously pulled a journal from her book shelf, brushed the dust off with her hand,  and sat down staring at it for a long time.

Could she actually do this? What if someone laughed or hated it? 

So she sat down in front of her laptop and began typing (and using Dragon software which she quickly chunked across the room, because it refused to understood her beautiful southern accent AHEM!).

Sometimes, she’d get frustrated, but every time she doubted herself, her friend’s words would fill her ears, “I believe in you.”

Carey, my love, you will never know what those words mean to me, nor how much I love you.  All because of you, I, (the girl), am living my dream! I can’t wait to grow old and share the old folk’s home with you, so I can hide your teeth and flash the old men my tits! LMAO! You are my heifer for life!

To my incredible hot sexy husband J, I love you so much, Baby.  You have cheered me on and loved me through all of this (and inspired many details, AHEM).  I will forever remember the text you sent me that night.  Our cheesecake  and ice cream date will forever be one of our favorite moments together.  I will love you forever, because you are my always. 

For my two beautiful babies B & B, Mommy loves you more than you will ever know. I promise I wasn’t ignoring you when I locked myself in my office to finish typing. Mommy does all of this for you! I am, and always will be, your biggest cheerleader and fan in life.  I hope you will never be afraid to reach for your dreams because I am always here to catch you if you fall.  God gave me the biggest blessing in life when he gave me both of you.  I LOVE YOU MY SWEET GORGEOUS DARLINGS!

To my wonderful Daddy in Heaven, I miss you more and more with each passing day.  I miss your laugh and I miss your huge hugs. I only hope I make you proud of me!  I love you so very much! 

To my Momma, how can I say thank you enough to a person who is not only my momma, but my best friend?  You have done so much for me to help me make this dream possible and I can never possibly tell you THANK YOU enough.  You believed in me before I ever believed in myself and you’ve held me up, when all I wanted to do was fall.  I am blessed beyond measure to have you in my life.  I LOVE YOU!

For all my family and close friends, I can’t possibly name all of you, but I want you to know how lucky and fortunate I am to have each and everyone of you in my life! I love you!

Michelle White, I am so grateful to have you in my crazy world!  You are so much more than just one of my best friends, you are truly a sister to me! I don’t think I could have possibly survived this journey, without you talking me down off the ledge at least a few times. (Okay A BUNCH of times).  With bribery of a fresh hot latte, you would drop everything to help me with my designs and advertising.  Not only are you AMAZING with that camera girl, but you work magic with your designs! THANK YOU most of all for just always being there for me when I needed you! I love you so much!  WHITE DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY is Phenomenal!!!!

To my Jen Jen, AKA JJ, how can we EVER top Luke Bryan twerking his fine ass for us on stage in Nashville?   (SIGH…fanning myself).  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being an amazing friend. You would sit and listen to me talk about these characters like they were real and would get excited right along with me, when I would throw new ideas at you.  You understood exactly what I wanted to do with this story and have helped me so much !  I LOVE YOU!!!!

As I venture down the path of the Indie writing world, I have encountered so many beautiful souls and made incredible friendships that reach across the globe.  I am beyond blessed to have you all in my life and honored to call you my friend.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me! Because of your kindness, love and support, I am living a dream I never thought possible.
