They say love conquers all, but when fame, and love collide, who will rise as the victor?

"I got all these memories faded of you, with me being faded with you" Rya and Odell were true relationship goals. The star football player and the most attractive girl at the university. They had been together since freshman year at LSU. Then senior year things took a turn for the worse and Rya broke things off. After that they lost contact completely. Rya moved out of Baton Rouge and Odell went on to be drafted into the NFL. So here we are two years later, will some upcoming events bring them together? Will the truth come out? Will they rekindle the love they once had for each other? This is Memories Faded.

Ever since they were babies, Odell and Nalani had been in and out of group homes. Odell never knew who his dad was and his mother died while giving birth to him. Nalani's parents both died in a tragic collision coming home from their anniversary dinner. Nalani and Odell both grew up in the same group home, so the older they got, the closer they became friends. By the time they were Odell was eight and Nalani was seven, they considered each other best friends. Nothing could break them up and no one could ruin their friendship. That was until one day, when someone wanted to adopt Odell. That was the worst day of their lives. Odell didn't even want to join a new family, he loved his life with his best friend by his side. Both cried and protested, but it was too late. Papers had already been signed and they were ready to take their new son, Odell to his new home. As years went by, and as Nalani became older, she jumped from group home to group home. She'd often question herself, "Why doesn't anyone want me?" She would often think about her old best friend Odell, and how he has a family now that loved him like he was their own. And that made her sad. Sad to the point where she became depressed. She slacked off in school then altogether, she dropped out. Once Nalani turned eighteen, she "aged out" of the foster care system and was finally an adult. When she got out, she didn't know what she wanted to do. Who she wanted to be. Or how she wanted to live her life. All she wanted was to know how it felt to be loved.

Waking up in a strange place is not a good feeling. You fear for your life constantly, you wonder if you will make it to another day, you want to leave but you can't. You are tortured by your kidnapper, you are now his. You are never to return to your old life. You're his property. You have been Taken. ©queenfaithmarie 2016-2017
