Shattered (Book#1)

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

So this is my new story. If you're reading something else that I've written (my Unexpected Series and Loving Ashlynn,) I'm not sure when I'll be updating those stories. I know it sucks that I'm not updating but as I've said I'm having a minor block when it comes to those stories.

That being said, I'm not giving up on my series or Loving Ashlynn... I'm just taking a mini break clearing my head.

17 year old Sawyer Romano is a girl with many secrets, but she's on a mission to save a stranger she's never met, Grayson King. Will she save him before his time runs up? How do you save someone that doesn't think they're worth saving?

"It's not often that I come across a case like this – so many lives gone and no one in my opinion is winning here but the truth of the matter here is that Grayson King, you left your house in the middle of the night, angry and enraged. The State's Attorney – Allen Clark – spent weeks deliberating whether or not to try you as an adult or juvenile, and it is now that I can empathize with his inner turmoil." He paused, voice dripping with pity.

"Will the defendant please stand," I looked to my lawyers, my body shaking, and my heart racing, my parents seated behind me.

"On the charge of first degree premeditated murder of Elijah Braxton, members of the jury how do you find the Defendant – Grayson King?" Everything else had been going wrong since that night Hudson pulled me to the Braxton house so he could spend time with Viola.

Why would things suddenly become even and right now? I had wondered if the jury believed me... my parents and lawyers deciding that it would be best that I not take the stand, the truth – my story had so many holes – they didn't believe it would help my case. I remember crying, wondering why I couldn't tell the jury that I didn't remember anything after Hudson and Viola walking away, but they had the video of Hudson, the signed affidavit, my parents, Viola, so many people saying that there were no plans of me going to their house.

There was no way that I would be invited to the house since Christian would be coming over that night and he and I didn't get along. Our parents weren't on friendly terms, and the school had already called them to come in because he and I were fighting during our gym class.

----------------- message I posted before -----------------

Hey everyone that reads my stories and are checking a lot for updates, I'm PERFECTLY HEALTHY. I'm not (not) updating because I'm sick or anything, I have allergies but they've gotten better with new meds. I'm not updating because I feel stuck in Undivided and the same goes for Loving Ashlynn and while brainstorming with myself I ended up creating the story I posted on Facebook, the prologue of it anyways. I'm not just going to abandon the stories and seriously it's only been nine days at the MOST since I've updated. That being said, in those nine days I haven't so much as thought of Undivided or Loving Ashlynn. Partly because I needed to step back and just get the story in my head out of my head and down on paper. In the nine days I haven't updated the posted stories I HAVE actually written nearly forty thousand words for the story I haven't posted fully yet and then after those forty words I got stuck again. it's really hard because I write from the heart & if my heart isn't into what I'm writing it just won't work out it because something I write just to update and get votes but not a good tale that keeps your attention as readers. Then it's getting to the point where I REALLY wish I had someone I could bounce ideas off of, because in all this time, updating frequently, I've never really needed that but right now I think I do because I'm stuck. Anyways please have some patience. Because while it may be hard to not having updates daily like I was doing before it's a MILLION times harder for me because normally I just sit in front of the computer and produce a chapter everyday. It's so weird for me to sit and be blank... so keep in mind that I'm not giving up on my stories for one that u guys only read the prologue for... I'm just taking a break from Undivided and Loving Ashlynn, writing down ideas and making sure that when I start writing again, I won't have to take a break I will have everything outlined and do justice to the characters u all love. roxann
