Omg guys thanks. I’ve never shown anyone this so you guys are the first people to see it. I probably won’t publish it but I might don’t really know yet
Hi I’m Abbie!!I’m writing a romance book but it’s my first draft so it’s still in the works… but here’s the prologue
PROLOGUE
2 years ago
The doors to the operating room explode open and my heart drops. I look at my boos who just came through the doors. I know I’m my heart the next thing he’s going to say is going to break my heart. He comes up to me and says
“Allie I’m so sorry we did every we could but there was to much blood we couldn’t save him.” Trace my boss says
I’m crying so much I can’t see straight so I sink down on the floor and pull my knees to much chest and just cry. Trace is beside me resting his hand on my back trying to calm me down but it’s not working. I can’t stop crying. The most important person in my life just died and I’ll never be able to talk to him again. Say how much I love him. How good of a father he was.
“Hey, I’m gonna need you to calm down a little you’re wheezing and that’s not good. Just calm your breathing down that’s all I need.” Trace says
I pull my face away from my knees and look at him.
“I can’t do this I need to go home.” I say with tears running down my face.
“I can’t let you drive home like this. Let me take you home I need to make sure you’re okay.”
I stand up holding Trace’s hands as he leads me to his BMW parked beside my Mercedes.
“Wait here and let me go get my things and then I’ll take you home.” He says as he’s slowly walking away.
As he gets beck in the car he starts it and pulls out of the parking lot. I’m leaning my head against the cold window because my face is hot and my tears are still spilling out of my eyes.
“Do you have anyone I can call to be with you after I leave?” He asks.
I know he doesn’t want to leave me by myself but I don’t want to see anyone not even my best friend Lilly. I just want to be home in my bed under the covers crying myself to sleep.
“No I don’t. It was just me and Dad. My mom walked out on us.” I croak out
He doesn’t say anything which is telling me that he understands but he still doesn’t want me to be alone. I have a feeling he’s going to be checking up on me every one in a while to make sure I’m ok. Which is fine with me. But is it inappropriate for your boos to text to make sure you’re ok after your dad just died? I don’t think so but people might take it the wrong way. I just thinking it’s a friend checking in on me.

I must have been thinking for a while because when I’m looking out the window we’re pulling into my driveway. I’m sighing undoing my seat belt. I’m opening a door when Trace is there opening it the rest of the way helping me get out.
“Thanks.” I say
He nods and stands behind me as I unlock my door. I walk in and I want to run up the stairs and get in my bed but I can’t because he’s here. I’m walking to the couch when I look at home and say
“Do you want a coffee? I’m making one for myself if you want one.” I say trying to sound like I’m ok so that way he’ll leave.
“I would if it’s not too much trouble. But I won’t be able to stay for a long time I have somewhere I have to be.” He says
“No trouble at all give me a minute to make it.”
He nods his head. As I’m turning around I have so many questions running through my head. Where’s he going at this hour? Maybe he has a girlfriend? Should I ask him? No I shouldn’t I don’t want to be nosy.
“Here’s you go.” I say handing the coffee to him.
“Thank You. Allie I need to call someone for you I can’t leave you here. You look like you’re ok but I know you’re not.
I remember how my brother was when our mom died. He had this look of sadness in his eyes. And I can see it in your eyes right now. I’m not going to let you end up like he did.” Trace says like he’s trying to protect me.
“You have a brother?” I say trying not to sound too nosy.
“Yes I do. Two actually. Levi and Rowan. I’m the middle child Levi is the eldest and Rowan is the baby. He’s the one that went into self destruction when our mom died. I’m not going to watch you throw your life away like he did. So I’m going to call someone to be with you whether you like it or not. I know you have a friend named Lilly I’ll call her.” He says
How does he know about Lilly? Is he spying on me?
“How do you know Lilly?” I ask
“She comes to the hospital all the time to see you.”
“How do you have her number?”
“I don’t I figured you would either tell me or let me use your phone.”
“Oh ok. I thought you were a stalker or something.” I say laughing sarcastically.
“Nope no stalker here.” He says playing
I hand him my phone so I don’t have to tell him Lilly’s number. I’m sure she wouldn’t like me telling her number to my boos.
“Thank you. I’ll call her to come over and stay with you and then I have to go.” He says already dialing Lilly’s number walking to the front door.
I nod and go sit on the couch. Thinking about how my day just did a complete 180. This morning I was having breakfast with my dad I went to the store and came back and he was on the floor barely breathing. I called 911 and they came and took him to the ER. I was told he went into emergency surgery and wouldn’t be out for a while. I had asked who the surgeon was that was operating and they told me it was
Dr. Beaumont. I was relieved to know it was Trace doing the surgery. After a few hours of waiting I get the news my father died on the operating table. Not even able to say my good byes. I look up as the door opens and Trace comes in saying Lilly was on her way and that he had to go and would see me when I came back to work.
After he leaves I’m waiting for Lilly to get here. Im just staring out the front window watching the cars drive by. As I’m looking I see a car pull up I’m assuming it’s Lilly. So I wipe my tears and wait for her to come in. She burst through the front door and when she sees me she’s running up to me hugging me so tight I can’t breathe.
“I’m so so sorry Al’s I can’t believe he’s gone.” She says wiping her own tears away.
I choke a sob looking at her and sit there for a little while and then go lay in my bed.
I can’t believe he’s gone
I’ll never be able to see him again.
But I have Lilly. She’s all the family I have left.
That’s the end of the prologue… It’s a lot but I love writing so this what I have!!!! Hope it’s good…
FYI you guys are the first people to see this…
