Synopsis
-LUCY-
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
A heart so strong it will never slow.
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.

There is no measure of time.
No sounds of the ticking of a clock.

Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever.
But our forever isn't always.

Getting out of my hold, she walks back to the bus. She sticks her head inside and looks around before turning to me. "The day you get your license…" She takes two steps to cover the distance between us. "You pick me up and take me somewhere secluded, and we make out in the back. For hours."
My eyes go huge and I slowly nod. "That can be arranged."
She smiles. "And I'm talking full on making out, Cameron. I mean, I want you shirtless and horizontal." I try not to look down at my shorts; positive I'm sporting a semi. She continues, "And I want to be shirtless and you better be touching boob."
I choke on air.
She giggles, and then crosses her arms over her breasts. "Deal?"
I think I agree, but I can't be sure, because now all I can think about is boob. I place my hands on her waist and gently push her until she's against the bus. And then I kiss her.
Her hands go to my hair, tugging a little, and bringing me closer to her.
And we kiss.
When she finally loosens her hold, I pull back. She kisses me once, and then sighs. "You really bought this bus, huh?" I nod.
"So that you can help me out with my brothers?" I nod again. "Of course, Luce, you're my girl. It's my job to take care of you."
Her eyes glaze over with tears again. I wanted to kick myself for making her cry. But before I can say anything, she wraps her arm around my neck and brings me down for another quick kiss. She pulls away and says, "I really like you, Cameron." I grin.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah," she says dreamily. And then my heart begins to race. My palms begin to sweat. And all I can hear is the blood pumping in my ears. "Good," I respond, and then inhale a huge breath. "Because I'm kind of in love with you, Lucy." Her eyes bug out. Her jaw drops to the floor. "What?" she breathes out. I lift my chin and fake a confidence that doesn't exist. "You heard me."
Silence.
It's the longest three seconds of my life.
Then finally, "Cameron, I love you so much."
And then she kisses me.
Five weeks, three days and eight hours later, I touch boob.
CARISSA'S REVIEW
6 plus "Team Luca" "clitorusaurus-rex" Stars
My review is being written from Luce's POV.
This is a story of a boy,
and a girl,
falling in love....
Because in a time of nothing but pain, and anger, and emptiness, and hurt... he healed me.
He made it stop.
He made it better.
He made me fall in love.
Love.
I love him.
My name is Lucy Preston.
I'm fifteen years old, my mother just died after battling Cancer. Dad's a weeping, drunken, wreck; my six brothers are noisy brats and me. I'm sick and tired of taking care of everyone. I can't grieve in peace because someone always needs something. I'm the only adult in the house right now and, I'm just a kid. An emotionally and physically exhausted fifteen year old.
The hardest part about being strong, it that no one ever asks if you're okay. I know they all miss her. Dad especially, I don't make it easier, I know I resemble her a lot. But, I miss her to. She was my mom, is my mom.
I miss our chats, our Sunday outings, she always made me feel like the most important person in the world. Her watering her roses, the silly, yet love filled glances between her and dad. The way she took care of my brothers, of us all.
Those magic words were all I ever muttered. Everyone took it at face value, but one boy, he looked deeper. He saw my pain, my need, he saw.... Me.
Cameron came into our lives, yes, not just mine, my entire family. At a time that shattered us and my family was struggling to cope. To handle.. just.. everyday life.
My dad once asked:
"Tell me about him?"
I replied "He's um, in my class. He's fifteen. He plays baseball. And he lives in those houses."
"No, Luce," dad says. "I want you to tell me about him. What kind of person he is. Who he is."
And without knowing, my smile is back.
"He makes me happy."
And that's when I feel a calmness take over- the kind of calmness that can't be obtained hiding away, or living your life through the pages of a book.
It's the kind of calmness that fights the storm.
"So?" Dad encourages.
"He's fierce."
Dad's brows rise. "Fierce?"
"Yeah. The way he cares for me- the way he protects me. It's fierce. He's fierce."
"He's a kid, Dad. We both are. But he doesn't act like it, not with me, and not with the boys. The boys- it's like they're his brothers. And I know that even if I weren't in the picture, he would've still been there- showing up everyday. He would have done it for them. Because his heart is huge, bigger than anyone I've ever met. And he makes me smile. He makes me laugh. After everything that's happened, I didn't think that I'd be able to get back there.
Laughing, I mean.
I thought it was impossible to be able to laugh again.
But he did it; he made my impossible, possible.
And he had absolutely no idea he was doing it."
Having fun, learning about life and relationships, learning each other.
This is my all time fav! book in this series. You outdid yourself Jay. I knew this was going to be and epic story but woman!!! your freaking smashed this one, a hit straight out of the ball park.
