“She is magnetic to me. Every emotion she
feels pulls me that much closer to her charm and energy. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I want her to
know what she means to me.” ~Jake Evans
For Jake Evans, life was as it should be.
No responsibilities. He was the master at embracing his reckless lifestyle whenever it presented itself.
Surviving on his ability to expertly hustle, fight and womanize, Jake could do it all; lived it all.</
p>
Raised in a rundown city, filled with crime
and drugs, he had survived the death of an abusive mother and a life with an absent father while only
having his brothers to depend on. His lifestyle became fast and Jake had lived it the only way he knew
how, until the day he met Delilah.
Delilah St. James was the epitome of
flawless. Brought up in an affluent southern household, Delilah’s life had been planned from the
moment she was born. She was raised to be the perfect socialite and daughter, and groomed to be the
ideal wife. When a school internship moved her to Sulfur Heights for the summer, Delilah collided with
the bitter reality of life outside her comfortable gated community when Jake Evans upset her perfect
world.
Over the next two years, Jake and Delilah
became best friends, embracing a friendship neither one was prepared to have, although they soon
found it to be a relationship that neither one of them were willing to sacrifice.
A tragic turn of events brings Jake and
Delilah together once again. Only this time, the feelings are different. Lines within their friendship are
blurred. Everything they vowed never to do, become the very thing they cannot deny. Will Jake and
Delilah’s relationship withstand the changes surrounding them? Or will the emotions sever the two year
friendship they’d fought so hard to keep?
She’s standing behind me, pleading with me
to take her with me and I will. I will take her away from here and back home with me. She only needs to
say the words. “Please… understand.”
“Understand what, exactly? I never really
believed you were weak until I came here and watched what you become when you’re around them.
This,” I motion to her dress and pristine hair, “is not you. This is the you they expect you to be.”</

“I’m sorry you feel that way, Jake, but
this is where I need to be.” And just like that, she makes her decision and it cuts like a fucking knife
to my heart. I’ve been gutted and exposed from her words. It pisses me off. “Please, I still want to be
friends.”
“Why? What’s the point?” I step from her
and pull open the front door. With all the anger I have, I slam it hard then walk down the driveway and
out to the street. ~Jake Evans, Blind Love
