Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1)

Product Information

My whole body is shaking. My mouth is dry, and I can feel the headache build up. For a moment I’m praying death won’t actually feel this way. Lily Reyes is trying to win the fight against Depression. Well, more or less trying as childhood trauma lets her believe that the world is too cruel to be living in.In Lily’s world, everything makes as much sense as breathing underwater. Yet, as s... When someone asked how many children she had, she had not more than one daughter. Aaron wasn’t even worth mentioning. Mamá!” Eira does a little excited dance. “This is Lily, Colin’s girlfriend” Just when I think this couldn’t get any worse with the fake-dating scenario, it does. Lilybug?” I raise my eyebrows at him. He nods. “Seriously?” Another nod. Aaron is laughing. Of course he is laughing, as so is Colin.

Maybe we get to be sisters in another life. Because, despite what I told myself all these years, I like you. Nothing. I didn’t even know I was playing his girlfriend up until he declared me as such,” I answer. Figured the truth is always a great way to go. I rest my head in my hands. I can’t imagine how devastated my brother will be when he finds out that this notebook was the beginning of my ending and he held it in his hands before. When he finds out that with just one look into this book, he could have saved my life. And what if during the months they have to spend together, they discover unimaginable things about their shared past? I always thought everyone knew how to make lasagna,” I tell him. All I get in response are a few fast blinks. Like he is trying to make sense out of what I just said. Maybe he feels like I called him stupid. If so, he can gladly feel that way, because I did. “What’s your favorite kind of noodles?”I want to ask why he said “everyone that doesn’t want to die” then. It doesn’t make much sense otherwise, maybe it does in some ways. But before I get the chance to ask, he speaks again. Though, why would Colin even care what I wrote about? He doesn’t know me. He shouldn’t put his nose into my business. Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books. Find out how in this guide. Colin has blue eyes, the color I don’t trust, but for whatever reasons, I could picture him with dark eyes.

Jokes on my mother, my dad is a decent guy. He wanted me in his life, and he wanted to be part of mine. So before he left, we made a deal. Aaron and I would meet up every Sunday at the ice rink in town. I told my mom I had new skating lessons every Sunday. It was my first ever big lie. And I regret nothing. Lily’s world is like being underwater; everything makes perfect sense there. While Lily is finishing up her final preparations, she makes a small mistake. Your friend is gross,” I tell Aaron. He bobs his head in agreement, watching Colin flirt with yet another girl. “But so are you. You do the exact same thing.” 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. Would you—” air gets caught in my lungs, but it still doesn’t feel like I have enough oxygen in my body to breathe properly “—shut up.”

Lilybug, I have no idea how to make lasagna. Do you really think I would have given that pot even just one thought?” What are you writing about?” Maybe that is a bit forward, and obviously private as she slams the notebook shut and sets it down onto the seat beside her. For most of my life, I was excited to meet him Sundays. I loved our skate-dates. Though, they were never dates, and it is kind of weird that I refer to them as such. They’re not dates. Never were. I go tap Anderson on his shoulder blade as I approach him. “Good game,” I say, he nods in agreement. At least they’re good losers. But before I know, his team is skating off the ice and leaves. Not that I care. Eira is talkative and cheerful, way too happy sometimes. I don’t think you would like that much.” Although he doesn’t seem upset anymore, his voice says differently.
