Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1)

Product Information

Wishing someone to die is not okay. Not ever. No matter how deep your hatred goes. It’s never okay to wish for someone to die. Well, you two are separated. Maybe he just doesn’t feel like talking to his ex about possible struggles,” I remind her. Just that this reminder reminds me of something: Aaron has just as much of a shitty day as I do.

I mean, he is probably six foot three. Colin is a tad taller than Aaron, and Aaron is six foot two. My knowledge of Colin’s height is completely based off of my brother’s. But I was five, well four but soon to be five. I didn’t understand what was going on. All I knew was, I would never see my brother ever again.We crushed Yale. 5-0, that’s what the huge scoreboard reads when the last second of the timer runs out and a loud, ear hurting tone shrills through the arena. People jump off their seats and cheer for my team. Other people, probably Yale fans, have their heads hidden behind their hands. So I lied. Told him mom wouldn’t allow me skating anymore. She was too afraid I could get seriously injured and die. He didn’t question it one bit. Maybe I will remember my life on earth, have an afterlife or continue to live as a spirit. But even if that’s not the case, it’s the best-case scenario. I don’t want to remember me.

I let out a sigh. And to avoid his intense stare, I am now looking at my fingers underneath the table. I’m playing with the ring on my left ring finger. That only ever happens when I get nervous. Why am I getting nervous? I call bullshit, Lily.” Of course she does. Just like everyone else at this college, Winter has no idea that Aaron and I are related. “He is totally cheating on me with you. My best friend. You’re not supposed to screw guys I’m in love with.” Mia told me she saw you with Aaron last Friday.” A completely drunk Winter stumbles into my room and takes a seat on my bed. Her makeup is smudged all over her face. It’s everywhere but where it’s supposed to be. She looks awful. I watch her leave, and once she is around the corner, I notice a mint green notebook lying on the seat. She forgot her notebook, dammit. Sixteen years ago, our parents decided to split up. And as it is, everything gets split in half when a divorce doesn’t go through peacefully. The house had to be sold, the money for it got split in half. Every single one of our belongings; sold and the money split in half.But the worst bit, even if Winter, my best friend, is mad at me. As a friend, you don’t tell the other person they’re better off dead. In fact, you don’t ever say those words to anyone. It used to be so difficult for me to even be with someone because whoever I was interested in, he was never putting up with Aaron’s expectations for me.

Aaron eyes me. Disgust is written all over his face, but there is more. Something he doesn’t want to talk about. Clearly Lily is a topic he does not like to discuss, and I respect that. But if there is some kind of relationship between them, maybe he should know about her condition. “Is she an ex-girlfriend? Someone important to you?” I ask. Aaron shakes his head and walks away from us. But then, Winter does speak to me about her boy problems. More specifically, Aaron problems. The ones I don’t want to hear of.Colin’s hair is long, but not too long. The top half of his hair is rather long and fluffy, the curtain haircut. Truthfully, I was never a fan of this haircut, but it suits him. A lot.
