Maybe you don't see yourself as beautiful, maybe your family's so fucked up that they don't see it either, maybe you or everyone else don't see your beauty, but fucking hell Aubrey. You're beautiful to me." His lips press to mine, and I can't help but ruin the kiss by smiling against them. *Previously 'Aubrey'*

That, however, is precisely what prompts her to stay away from him. She sees no need in getting involved in a relationship just to have her heart broken and shattered to pieces, like she witnessed when her parents had a major downfall in their marriage. All Tessa wanted was an innocent trip to California. What she got was a journey filled with smiles, laughter, heartbreak, and love. And to think - it could all happen Once Upon a Summer.
