Courage

How do you get over your fears?

    What is wrong with me?! Why am I so afraid? Here I am with this terrific guy in front of me and I can’t let my guard down. He tells me he loves me with all his heart and I believe him, so why can’t I say it back? I know Jason is the right guy for me, so why do I keep running? It can’t be because of Eric, I’m so over that already and plus it happened a year and a half ago. I can tell Jason is pulling away from me, we’ve been together for 4 months and I haven’t even kissed the guy yet. He’s been so patient with me, but I can tell that it’s running out. I blame Eric for all this, it’s because of what he did that makes me so goddamn paranoid. I’m just going to do it, I’m just gonna do it. When I see Jason, I’m just going to wrap my arms around him and give him the most passionate kiss he’s ever had. I’m gonna find him right now!
     Sonia is 18 years old and is the most talented artist in her college. She’s been drawing since middle school and loves every second of it. She has long, silky black hair and brown eyes that you can’t help but stare into. She’s very sweet and nice to everyone even if they don’t deserve it. She used to smile all the time, keywords used to; Sonia rather stopped after that night a year and half ago. Things seemed to be looking up for her when she met Jason, but she could never really open her heart to him; but she’s determined to change all that now.
     She heads over to the library because she knew that Jason was working on a research paper for history. Just as she’s about to arrive there, she accidentally bumps into someone.
     “Oh my god! I’m so sorry.” she says and as she looks up her whole body tenses up.
     “Hello Sonia.”
     “Eric…hi”

Hee hee, I have been there many times....it's funny when they come back to pour more salt on the wound that was finally healing! I enjoyed this, keep going with it.

What happens after that??? Oh leaving it like that is sooo cruel, but it also seems kind of fitting. I hate when guys do that to girls though, hurt them to the point where they are paranoid. I'm trying to work over that right now, as it were haha. It's pretty damn hard.

*begs to hear more* I know what you mean that three word phrase is simple to write but, my throat closes if I have to say it.

i doubt i represent your target audience, i'm not into the corny romance suff, but i must say this was pretty well done, the story is relatable and i think the strongest part of the story is the ending, the accidental encounter that throws off the best laid plans. if anything i would tune up the second paragraph, the first 4 sentences of which read too much like a bio , try slowly revealing that info through part of the scene. you've got a good start to something here

This is like a mini story that just gets started, then it ends. It gives a basis for her fear, but it closes down before the conclusion.

I feel like there is a lot of story left to be told.
