I wrote this story when I was 13 and have decided to come back and edit it. In the next few weeks, I'll be going through and improving/adding on to the story. The story will change significantly, so if you have already read it I encourage you to read it again. I will be taking down and republishing chapters after I have edited them. I hope you all enjoy the new story, thank you! (characters and themes will remain the same)

When Hope's father suddenly dies, no one can prepare her for the amount of grief she would go through, especially when her grandparents agree to let his organs be used as he was a registered organ donor. Unable to deny her dad's wishes, the organs are used to save lives, but on one condition. She wants to meet the people who are benefiting from her dad's organs but the very last thing she expects is to form friendships or even a relationship out of the heartache of losing her father. One recipient is Cole Mellor; a goofy, gorgeous budding nineteen year old photographer who receives her father's heart. She feels an undeniable connection to Cole, but is that because he has a piece of her dad within him, or are her feelings a lot more to do with Cole himself?
