To my husband…my whole, bloody, beating heart. I love you forever.
To my co-conspirator, writing with you is effortless and I look forward to many more books by the dynamic duo.
-K-
To the love of my eternity, there is no greater gift than never having to say goodbye to you.
To my writing buddy, we make magic happen. Let’s never stop.

A Note about the Authors
It wasn’t long ago that K Webster and Elle Christensen had a great idea. They would write a book together. Neither was familiar with the process of co-writing a book, but together they forged through it and Erased was born. They enjoyed their collaborative efforts so much so that when Elle mentioned to K that it was time to write another book, K wholeheartedly agreed and dropped all projects to write this book with her.
With Erased, Elle had a story she wanted to tell. Together, they hashed out the plot over and over again, trying to find a way to fuse their brains as one. And they did. Then, months later, K had a story she wanted to tell with Give Me Yesterday. This time, the process was nearly effortless, as they’d discovered their brains were already one.
The writing was a flurry of back and forth, giggles, and tears. But they both knew that despite the sadness that weaved throughout this book, they’d also bring joy and pleasure to the readers. Writing for this dynamic duo was nothing but a pleasurable, effortless experience for both.
With Erased, Elle wrote Slade and K wrote Joss’s POV. And with Give Me Yesterday, they switched things up for a little variety and Elle wrote Victoria while K wrote Chase. They’re both fans of writing the male POV so you can guarantee the next book they write—
and there will definitely be more books together
—that will most definitely be the only thing they’ll argue about.
K and Elle thought you would enjoy hearing the process of how they created Give Me Yesterday. Now, they hope that you adore another book baby they made together!
Love, K Webster and Elle Christensen

“W
ell, fuck me.”
I glare at him. “Been there, done that, Ben. That’s what got us into this mess in the first place.” Sarcasm drips from my tone, but it’s either that or dissolving into a puddle of tears. Tears are a luxury I don’t have; strength is the only option right now. The word “pregnant” on a tiny little stick packs more punch than a right hook. I look at Ben standing there, staring at the life-changing piece of white plastic, his mouth hanging open, and his hand trembling.
I would give anything to read his mind right now. Ben and I began dating almost two years ago, at the start of our freshman year of high school, when we met at football practice. The tall, blonde, blue-eyed cheerleader and the muscular, strawberry blonde, blue-eyed quarterback.
Cliché, right?
Maybe so, but Ben is a straight A student who plays for the love of the game, rather than to make it big in the sport. He pulled me aside after practice the first day and told me he was taking me out to dinner that Friday night. After the most romantic date, he told me I was his and I had no arguments. Declarations of I love you followed in the next month and we’ve been inseparable ever since.
Ben’s it for me and I know he feels the same. We had such grand plans, after graduation, we’d go to the same college, earn our degrees, and get married. Then build a life together with two-point-five kids and a white picket fence. Ben always laughed when I described this idealist life, his ocean blue eyes would sparkle and he’d give me the sweetest kiss, promising to paint my fence any color I want. Anything to keep his Sunshine smiling bright and lighting up his day.
On Ben’s sixteenth birthday, four weeks ago, I gave him the most precious gift I had. We’d been burning for each other, coming so close to making love, but always choosing to save it for the perfect day. Taking the train into Chicago, we had dinner at a cozy little French restaurant. Then we took a walk in the unusually warm March weather, holding hands, and sizzling from the attraction arching between us. I led him to a boat docked out in a marina in Burnham harbor. My best friend’s family owns a slip and her parents were out of town, so she gave me the keys and told me to “rock Ben’s world.” We spent the most beautiful night together and I knew our future would be just as perfect as that night.
It seems like a lifetime ago, almost like a movie reel that I’m watching. This can’t possibly be my life, can it? Getting pregnant when you’ve used condoms is something that happens in books and movies.
