This is a true story, the events depicted took place in USA, Paris, Italy. Between 2011-2018. At the request of main characters the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead their part of the story has been told exactly as it occurred.

Eighteen-year old shy Alana has never been kissed by a guy, or been in a relationship of any sort. When the popular and cheery Gino starts to show interest in her, she waves it off as it being his character. But after eighteen years of practically no experience in the romance department of life, Alana finally starts getting what she's hoped for. And yet, she still asks herself the questions, "What is love? Is it truly worth it?" just as she had when she was single. Note: There will be sensuality and sexual material as the story progresses (from chapter fourteen). Note 2: This is a feel-good romance story, not the typical dramatic high school story filled with angst. Disclaimer: The names of shops, companies and other locations are purely made up for story purposes and not related to any shops with similar (or same) names in any way and, if so, are purely coincidental. *Cover courtesy of omg_poptarts!

❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.
