Blog Tour: The Road
Back to Us by Kira Adams

The promotional tour for Fortitude starts
tomorrow, but I have to catch my flight tonight. Just like the first movie, the
cast will be traveling through Europe, and while I’m excited to spend time with
my co-stars and explore Europe further, the life threatening letter has me on
edge.
When you imagine fame, you only imagine the good
parts: money, notoriety, special benefits. You don’t think of the downside to
it. I’m not sure I’m made out for this. The one person I’ve always had routing
for me, the one person I’ve always had pushing me isn’t here.
I grab my cell from the dresser and scroll to the
photo album, looking at the happier times between Peyton and me. We look happy,
but more importantly, we look in love. I don’t know that I’ll ever find that
again with anyone else. I’m not sure that I want to. Opening yourself up to
that kind of extreme love, while also being vulnerable to someone has never
been my strong suit. It makes me nervous knowing someone else could carry my
heart in their hand with the power to protect it or crush it.
Some days I wish things were simpler. I wish I
were still a small town guy in love with a small town girl. Unfortunately, I
know things can never go back to the way they were.
Most people would die for the opportunities I’ve
been handed. And while I don’t take any of them for granted, I still wish it
were simpler.
My screen goes black and I set my phone down,
sighing. What happened to us against the
world?
