Crash.....a crash ended it all and started it all. Dina Fowler is
attending college with her long time best friend Maggie Lawson. Life is
good and carefree. Until the crash that changed it all. Her
freshman year ends with the loss of her parents in a car accident, spiraling
Dina into a deep depression. Secluding herself as she picks up the pieces
to her life, slowly she finds the only person she has left is Maggie.
Chance
encounters sometimes make the most incredible moments, other times they crash
and burn. A chance encounter brings Michael barreling into a lost and
vulnerable Dina's life. Playing on every weakness she has, he weasels his
way into her heart. Slow build up to the hell that was soon to
become Dina's daily nightmare. Her parents are gone.
She wants out but has no idea how to escape her new reality.
Can
she find her way out? Or will she be lost completely burning in her own
personal hell?
Excerpt: Dina
Hell. Hell is the place you are supposed to
fear. Live your life in the right way so
you don’t burn in hell. What happens
when your hell is lived daily on Earth?
I’m in hell. I’m worthless, I’m broken, and I don’t even
know the woman staring back at me in the mirror. Things have only gotten worse with Michael. Other than going to class, I can’t go
anywhere; he’s my priority. Therefore, I
should be home waiting on him and doing what he needs me to do. How did I get here? How do I escape? Maggie and I had the worst fight last night
about Michael.
“Wake the fuck up D. This isn’t love. This is control, manipulation, and
power. Love is patient, love is
kind….you know, all that! Where is that
with Michael? What you have with Michael
is fear, Dina.” Maggie states.
“He loves me in a way you
can’t understand. No one can.” I reply, thinking, I don’t even understand it
anymore.
“You’re right, Dina. I don’t understand, I can’t understand. You don’t hurt people you love.”
Her words are on continual
repeat in my head. Battered. Broken.
Discouraged. Lost. Alone.
I will not be defeated. Somehow,
I will come out of this. I will not
crash and burn.

Excerpt #2 Chapter 5
Dina
It’s another night
with very little sleep, with too many hot dreams about a certain man. I decide
to head to the gym early. I arrive
around 5am and immediately hit the tread climber. I put my earphones in and my
iPod on loud. Time to get lost in a good
workout.
The gym is jam packed
this morning, which normally feeds my insecurities, but not today. I am just
consumed in my workout. An hour later, I am feeling motivated and sweaty.
My phone starts
ringing, and I see its Maggie calling.
She needs a ride to work this morning.
That’s my cue; my workout is over. I step off the tread climber wiping
my face with my towel. I turn around and directly hit a very hard, sweaty
chest.
As I look before me,
I see the waistband of black baggy basketball gym shorts, hanging low on his
hips; showing a bit of that trail of dark hair that leads to pleasures of all
kinds. I see this set of rock hard abs, which should be illegal to be on
display. Before I have time to take in
all the tattoos along his ribs, arms, pecks, and shoulders, I hear the all too
familiar voice of Ryder.
"Well, good
morning Sunshine! Tsk! Tsk! Even at the gym you are gorgeous and brighten
my day."
He starts to walk away, but instinctively I
reach out and grab his completely toned arm. This man spends some serious time
at the gym perfecting his body.
"Ryder, I just want to say thank you for
checking on me Sunday night. I hope I didn't ruin your evening with the red
head, by boring you with my drunken ramblings."
He laughs, "No
need to thank me, and nothing about you ever bores me. I enjoy your company,
even the drunken ramblings. And, Valerie, the red head, is just a friend who
needed a ride home."
We both stand there
silently for what seems like forever, when I finally stammer, "Well I
appreciated the company. So, to say
thank you, how about dinner?"
Before I can stutter
my way back out of the invitation, he leans over, kisses my forehead and says,
"Great I will pick you up at 7pm tonight, wear jeans and boots."
And with that he
walks off, leaving me breathless; while my inner diva is doing her happy dance.
I shower and change,
ready to start my Friday. I arrive at the office, only to realize I totally
forgot to pick up Mags.
She gets in the car
laughing at me, "Ok Dina, what gives? You are never this distracted."
Grinning from ear to
ear I give her the play by play of my morning.
She squeals in
delight as she adds, "In that case, can I borrow your car for the Delany
dinner party tonight since you won't be attending with me?"
Oh my!
I totally forgot about work, "Do you need me there? I wasn't
thinking, I can cancel my plans with Ryder."
She nudges me as she
protests, “Hell no! Girl, you will go
tonight. I have work all covered, I just
need a car. Brayden needs mine.”
I don't question why,
even though I was curious as to why Brayden isn't driving his 1970 Dodge
Charger. The day passes quickly and before I know it, Mags is pushing me out
the office door and dropping me at home.
I dress in jeans, a
charcoal gray V-neck shirt, and my favorite, no heel black knee high
boots. Just as I’m putting on a pair of
plain diamond studded earrings, a gift from my father, I hear the distinct
rumble of a Harley Davidson motorcycle approaching.
I smile at
recognizing the engine sound. A few moments later, my doorbell rings, I open it
to face Ryder in a pair of jeans, a snug navy blue t-shirt, and black boots.
He smiles a half
smile, kisses my forehead as he says, "You look amazing."
All I manage to
stutter is, "You have a Harley Davidson Night Train? Wow."
He looks at the bike,
then replies, "If you don't want to ride, we can take your car. Mags said
you used to drive a sportster. So I,
ummm, thought.....well anyway we can take your car."
Without thinking, I grab him off my porch and
into my living room, where I leave him as I dart through the kitchen, and into
my garage. I come back to him, helmet in hand, and smiling my biggest smile.
He's standing there
as I braid my hair, "Ryder, I haven't been on a bike since the last time I
drove mine on a poker run with my dad and his friends. I would love to ride
with you. Let’s go!" He grabs my
helmet and helps me lock up.
