Why Are You Here? by Brianna Jean

A party in the Hollywood Hills.
A perfectly timed smoke break.
A chance encounter.

From the moment I laid eyes on Judah Colt, I knew I was screwed.
He was a whirlwind of emotions, a disastrous tornado of need,
while I was only searching for
a taste of reckless abandon and a chance to let go.
What I got was almost more than I could handle.
In the blink of an eye, I was no longer just a fan,
a girl with an obsession, but instead I became
a necessity—to the music, to the fans, to Judah himself.
Together, we were a chaotic mess of feelings, fears, and attitudes,
but apart it all got worse.
Neither of us were ready for love—especially not the kind
we found—but once we started…
there was no going back.
We are Phoenix and Judah.
Nix and Jude.
Baby Bird and her Skyscraper.
Me and my twin flame.
