Excerpt #1 from
“What Child Is This?”
Please come home
for Christmas this year?
I don’t bother replying to my sister’s text. She
knows I’m not coming home. I just power off my phone and stuff it back into my
jacket. With a tired sigh, I lean back, close my eyes, and find myself doing
the one thing I try never to do.
I think about the mess I’ve made of my life.
Ten years ago, I’d been an eighteen-year-old
living in Paisley Springs, Tennessee—a tiny, rural town about two hours north
of Nashville. Ten years ago, I’d been a popular athlete with dreams of becoming
a professional basketball player. Ten years ago, I’d been the golden child of
Dr. Benjamin and Olivia Fisher.
Ten years ago, I’d been a boy in love.
I still am.
Life is full of highways, and some are just too
long when you’re trying to find your way home. In my case, some forgotten roads
completely disappear. Time erases them, to the point that you begin to wonder
if they ever really existed in the first place.
But they did. I know they did.
I close my eyes and try to ignore the image that
flickers behind my eyelids. In my mind, Emma Hayes is still eighteen years old.
With her long red hair and deep green eyes, she’d always looked at me as if I
was her dream come true.
And I was, until I ripped those dreams away.
We were together for more than a year, and it had
been the happiest time of my life. But being crazy in love makes you do stupid
things. Careless things.
And then things happen that you never imagined
would happen to you.
