Saving Him

by Bry Ann

  The amazing thing to me is despite that despite the fact that Dana has always been portrayed as the ‘broken one’ in her family, it is Dana, truly, who saved Gunner. When I look at the two of them all I can think is how she saved him, and I see the look in Gunner’s eyes when he looks at her too. He feels the same way.

  He knows she saved him.

  I take a look around the couch and when a silence ensues I let out a deep sigh. I know it’s time.

  “Alexa,” I say softly. “It’s time babe.” I take a glance over at Rex who is looking at his feet. “How do you know Rex? Who were you before you met me?” Alexa shuts her eyes for a minute and then opens them. She takes a look around the room and then at Rex. “You know you can trust us. You know,” I emphasize. “You’re family. We love you and this is creating distance between us. Don’t push us away. Please.”

  I know I’m begging, but Alexa was the very first person I let in my life, in my heart. I can’t lose her. I just can’t. I need to give her the same gift she gave me. Freedom.

  “I know,” she says softly. Softer than I’d ever heard her. She sounds different. She looks over at Rex. “It’s your story Rex. Go on.”

  He looks at her, asking permission with his gaze once more. She nods and then he does as well before turning away from her, cold again.

  “I met Alexandra when I was seven…” he began. “I met her dad when I was eight.”

  The room went silent as we waited to hear Rex and Alexa’s story. It was clear to everyone in the room… we needed to save them.

  Stay tuned for Part One of Rex and Alexa’s story …

  Alexa:

  Even my name is a fucking lie.

  I'm not Alexa.

  I’m not even the badass I pretend to be.

  I’m an ex-hooker with a fucked-up childhood buried under years of mistakes.

  I’ve played my part well.

  Until he appears.

  My greatest mistake of all.

  Rex Carter.

  Now I’m forced to watch the life I’ve built in secret crumble all around me.

  There is no greater pain than love.

  Nothing more destructive.

  Rex:

  She was my hero once.

  Strong.

  Invincible.

  Beautiful.

  Now all I feel is hatred. She is heartless. Cold.

  It’s time I stood up for myself. Made her feel half of what she’s made me feel.

  This is my revenge.

  Get ready Alexandra Ray.

  Thank you so insanely much for reading this book. You have no idea how grateful I am. I hope Dana and Gunner’s story touched you like it did me. This book was very special to me. I love all my books, but out of everything I have ever written this was the most personal. This book will always hold a special place in my heart. Forever.

  Stay tuned for Rex and Alexa’s story! Their story will be in two parts. I will warn you this book gets dark and is definitely for adults. Alexa’s life has been hard. However, part two will wrap things about into something that is truly beautiful. I promise! I know this series is emotional, triggering and a lot, but the underlying message is love, and friendship can get you through anything.
