When Aiyana and Kiro paths converge again, memories from the past resurface and untold truths unleash.
Lives are shattered.
Misconceptions are resolved.
And in the process,love prospers.
They forgave each other.
But will they ever forgive themselves?

my phone buzzes obnoxiously loud as a shift in my sleep. I bury my head in my pillow pulling myself together before finally sitting up to turn off the damn alarm.
"Aiyana, I hope your up." i hear my dad from outside my door.
"mmm." i hum back. i sit there staring blankly at the wall for a hot second. my phone buzzes again however i know it's Avaya this time so i don't bother looking away from the wall.
"Aiyana, now." i roll my eyes.
"i'm going." i lift the duvet off me and set my bare feet to the cold wooden floor. i stand, grabbing my phone making my way to my bathroom.

A faint smile appears on my lips but soon disappears as i look up and into the mirror. i tilt my head to the side slowly and run my middle finger across my neck. my eyes flutter close.
I went back to where it happened. I wanted to take away the power of the painful memory of hurt, prove to myself that I could choose to move on.
A soft knock and a clearing of the throat brought me back to the present. Avaya stood at the doorway of my bathroom with a look of sympathy for a few seconds before make her way to me. She stood beside me in the mirror. She sighed deeply and sorrowfully before wrapping her arms round me. I stiffened on instinct. But she felt that and pulled away slowly.
"I love you, you know." she reminded me.
"I know," i sighed. "Can you stay in here while i shower?"
"Of course i will." she sadly smiled at me as i began undressing.

"Sooooo...." Avaya trailed on laying on my bed as i looked for and outfit. " i was thinking maybe I could drive your car to school today." I pause and turn around and she has a big smile plastered on her face with puppy dog eyes.
I look her in the eye and laugh. Avaya lived two minutes away from me and would walk here every morning so we could drive to school. "What! Why you laughing im being serious." my laughter sobers up.
