"Two souls are sometimes created together and in love before they're even born." -F.

She had no idea she'd grow up with him, with his story weaved into her world as much as her own. She had no idea that at eighteen she'd make a terrible mistake and leave him and everything she knew behind. She had no idea that she'd tear his heart completely apart. She had no idea that returning home and finding out that Colton was engaged would hurt her so much. She had no idea if he'd ever love her again. She had no idea if it would ever return to the way it used to be. • • • "The Way It Used To Be" is a dual perspective story told from different points of view over the course of twelve years in the lives of two best friends who just happened to fall in love.

"This story is WOW!!! How I wished it didn't come to an end!" - chysungal "Did you kidnap me?" he asked. Gigi's eyes widened and she shook her head furiously. "No!" "How did I get here?" he asked, his tone was strong but beads of sweat covered his forehead. His eyes flashed at her. "I heard stealing is common occurrence for you people." Gigi clenched her fists, as heat raced to her cheeks. "We don't-" "I heard tales that you once stole a nobleman's daughter." Her blush deepened down to her collar bone. "We don't capture people. And Lady Brixton left on her own accord." The sailor's gaze remained accusatory. "Do you know who I am?" he demanded.
