"How long has he been hurting you?" There it is. The question I dreaded, but I promised him I would be honest, so I took a deep breath and answered. "Seven years." I didn't look at him.

"SITNL was one of the most realistic and heartfelt stories that i've seen in a while. It told a story of two teenagers who through love were not only able to learn from each other and always be there for one another through thick and thin but also accepted one another not for their past, futures or wealth but rather for who they were as people. Something that captivated me and made me truly love and appreciate this story." @awinterlights 1st place romance category- Adore You Awards Runner Up romance category- The Spring Awards ------------------------ Rhea Sommes has never had it easy; a mother who died before Rhea was even in high school, a father who can't get himself together, and no one to turn to.
