SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME Synopsis:
“Doesn’t matter who did it. Not anymore. I did the time. It’s over.”
When Drix was convicted of a crime–one he didn’t commit–he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the Second Chance Program, the governor’s newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while.
Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor’s daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn’t may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.
When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle’s parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix’s messy life.
But sometimes love can breach all barriers.
Fighting against a society that can’t imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves–Drix to confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence–and each other to finally get what they deserve.
The sights and sounds of the midway fade,
and all I hear is buzzing. I close my eyes as more pissed-off tears fill my
eyes. Why won’t they go away?
“You okay?” a guy asks.
I open my eyes and focus on the ground. My
eyes are red, I know they are. I can feel the puffiness of my skin. I take a
deep breath, look up to explain I’m okay, and freeze.
Holy hell. It’s the boy from Whack-A-Mole.
He’s so much more breathtaking this close, and I have no idea how that’s
possible.
“Are those guys bothering you?” he asks.
My forehead furrows. Yes, they are, but telling him the truth and
inviting him into my problems seems wrong.
“Since you’re so talkative, I’ll start the
conversation,” he says. “If you want to get rid of those guys then stand here
and talk to me, and I’ll stand here and talk to you. You can smile like you
know me because it’s tough to make me smile, and it will seem fake. Then I can
try to win you a stuffed animal. Won’t be a snake, but it will do. Those losers
will catch on we’re friends. Eventually, they’ll keep walking, and then they’ll
return to their loser frat house where they’ll play with themselves for the
rest of the night because they don’t know how to properly talk to a girl.”
I blink because all thought processes have
taken a mini break. Either that or I’m having a stroke.
“Just a smile. Maybe a few mumbled words.
Tell me anything. Doesn’t have to be poetic. Just your lips moving in my
direction without your current blank expression.”
I blink again, many times, as the sights,
sounds and smells of the midway blast back as if someone had pushed the play
button on my life. I flash the perfectly practiced public smile I’ve used too
many other times in my life.
“I don’t know how to get them to leave me
alone.” I pause, then the bitterness leaks out as well as a grim grin. “At
least not without a baseball and a well-placed throw. Some people shouldn’t be
allowed to continue their genetics.”
The right side of his mouth tips up, and my
eyes narrow on him. “I thought you didn’t smile easily.”
“I have a twisted sense of humor, and I
didn’t think a girl like you could make me laugh. You’ve done it twice now.
That’s a record for the past year.”
I bristle, still on the dangerous edge of
anger. “A girl like me?”
“Yeah, one that’s out of my league. Listen,
if you want to get out of this situation without it escalating, let me know.
Otherwise, I’ll take a step back, and you can do whatever you need. I’m all
about helping, but I’m not looking to get into a fight. Your call on how this
goes down, but if it’s violence, you’re on your own.”
He says he doesn’t want to partake in
violence, but there’s an essence about him that says he could drop anyone at
any time and do it without breaking a sweat.
