Heart Crush

Chapter 1

In the past few months, love continued to fill Avery and Van's world. As they navigated the path of studying medicine, their feelings for each other grew deeper. Every mention of their names brought smiles to their faces, and every moment spent together was filled with happiness and hope.

However, it couldn't be denied that their love faced challenges. Amidst the deep immersion of school and the heavy workload of projects and exams, they had little time for each other. Sweet moments were replaced by text messages sent at various late hours of the night.

Despite these challenges, Avery and Van's love knew no bounds. They continued to trust each other and made time for even the smallest moments together. Lunches outside, sweet phone calls, and special moments in their cars these were the units of time that strengthened their love.

On a joyful evening, in the midst of a lively sea of books and handwritten notes, they finally found time for their long awaited date. To celebrate the end of their exams for the second semester, they decided to dine at a fancy restaurant in town.

With starry eyed gazes, they walked in sync, reveling in the twilight understanding of being together. As the server took their orders, they were captivated by each other's voices.

"You know, Van," Avery said, looking at him to her right, "You are my study partner. I don't know how I've been able to do it without your support and inspiration."

Van smiled, placing his hand on top of Avery's. "The feeling is mutual, Avery. Your determination and bravery ignite my desire to be an excellent doctor. I couldn't do it without you."

As their food arrived, they both noticed that their voices no longer held as much importance. They had become so engrossed in their emotional conversation and mutual understanding.

After their delightful meal, they walked to a beautiful park filled with trees and flowers. In the blissful kisses of the wind and the melodies of birds, their conversation continued.

"Van," Avery said, "You know, I want to tell you... I love you. I don't know how to say it, but I can't keep my feelings hidden anymore."

Van was taken aback by those words, filled with happiness and wonder. "Avery, for me, there's nothing I want more than you. I love you too."

Under the moon's gentle glow and with their hands intertwined, Avery and Van's love grew even stronger. They built a strong foundation of trust, understanding, and commitment to each other. Their love wasn't just beautiful to behold; it also inspired and empowered them to face the challenges of the medical world together.

And in that moment, under the calm night and the fire of their emotions, Avery and Van began a new chapter in their love story. It was the realization that their love journeyed through the toughest trials and continued to deepen.
