Tari Ibiyemi and Lani Olaere were highschool sweethearts. The embodiment of the term, 'Young Love' that adored one another unconditionally until Tari fell prey to the cliché vice of breaking Lani's heart, thus killing their ideal relationship.

It's hard to love someone with the entirety of your being and get nothing in return. They both learnt that the hard way but dealt with it differently. She hid behind lies and fake smiles, alone and isolated. He was pampered and protected until he healed. Or at least pretended to. What will happen when their paths cross? Will they continue to run in fear of what they perceive to be inevitable? Or will they choose to stop falling and give themselves a chance to fly? __________________________________________________________________________________ Jin stepped closer, effectively backing her into a corner. "I'm tired of lying - to you and to myself. I don't want you to keep running away from something we both feel is right, so I'll just make this easy for your sake... I don't like you. I don't like how your pretty eyes shine when you're excited or mischievous. I don't like how distracted I feel watching you bite your lips when you're trying to focus... I don't like how you fill my thoughts all day, everyday. What I'm trying to say is ... I don't like you, Allie. I love you. And I know I'm not like other guys. I'm odd. But I want to give you everything I have. Everything you deserve. So, would you please go out with this sappy dork?"
