❝ Give me ten days. Until Christmas, to give you ten reasons to not die, ten reasons to show you that life is worth living. ❞
They first met in a dark alleyway.
The catch? The gun in his hand, pointed at himself.
Ten days until Christmas; ten days...

"Fine, how about I make you a deal. Give me ten days. Until Christmas, to give you ten reasons to not die, ten reasons to show you that life is worth living. If you can't do it for yourself, then do it for me. Please."
A long silence stretched between them.
Azura was staring at him, begging him silently to consider her offer. And he, he was staring at his hands, twisting his fingers between each other.
"Please." She tried again.
A few beats later, his voice sounded out.
"Alright."

Hey guys! Suzanne here with a brand new story for all of you. I'll admit, I'm pretty proud of this one. I hope y'all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. But before you begin I'd like to get a few things out of the way.
This is my book, which I devoted all my heart and soul into. So please don't attempt to steal, copy or plagiarize it. Also, there are mentions of suicide. So if you're sensitive towards that sort of stuff, please proceed with caution.
Now, I know that my story is be no means perfect, but that dosen't mean you have to hate on it. As an author, I really appreciate constructive criticism, but rudeness is not in any way welcome. So if you're only reading to find fault with my story, the door is always open. No hard feelings.
One last thing. The whole story is written in third person POV, in order to evenly balance out the feelings of all the characters. I don't really intend to make first person POV chapters any time soon.
Enjoy!
Lots of love, Suzanne
