we met once in autumn and promised forever but God had other plans...(completed)

Everything starts with a “hello”. And everything ends with a “goodbye”. That’s what Bailey Carter found out; that in life, some things never really lasts. That sometimes, life is unfair, and even though you cherish something so much, life could take it away from you. And the truth will hit you like a train running on a track; a great painful impact. She gave up on what she has been hoping for, what she has been believing in for such a long time, she gave up. She proceeded in life, like nothing happened. Like she didn’t just lose him. Like she doesn’t break down and cry at night. Like the love of her life never said goodbye. Like he never even existed. She proceeded in life without him. But life isn’t that simple. It doesn’t just let you walk away from a problem. No, they make sure you face it. Again . And it’s like a slap to your face after you were burned with a metal stick on your cheek. Like the hurt was squared. Not doubled, squared. But despite the obstacles, she was happy. Well, contented. Life’s good. And she found out that sometimes, when you finally say goodbye, life rewards you with another hello. And she’s holding on to that hello.

This is a story I wrote the majority of daily, as part of NaNoWriMo 2013. The concept for the story is one that I have been considering for a while. Earlier this year, I wrote about 3000 words on the subject as part of our Wattpad HQ Writeathon, and that work can be found under "Wattpad Writeathon 2013: Skyward". However, I wanted to start fresh for NaNoWriMo, so I have created this story to capture my progress through November.

Reid has been homeless on the streets of New York for years now, fighting for cash in clubs and sleeping in empty buildings. With his special ability, Reid could have whatever life he wanted, but chooses not to. When Sam meets Reid on the subway, she has a hard time forgetting about him, and not only because he keeps showing up in the least likely of places. Sam doesn't know it at first, but the boy she just met is about to show her a whole other world.

"If the world can't handle the truth, give them a spectacular lie." Bitch. That's what they called me at my old school. I disagree: I'm just brutally honest, that's all. Some people don't like honesty. Exhibit A: Matthew's family. None of them want to acknowledge that their Golden Boy is gay. Exhibit B: My Mother. I only told her the truth: that she was a crappy parent who never should've gotten knocked up in the first place. But she was so offended that she shipped me off to my fabulously wealthy father and his walking-billboard-for-plastic-surgery of a wife. So I devised a brilliant plan. My new friend Matthew was sick of hiding his sexuality. I was tired of obnoxious rich boys hitting on me. So why not pretend to be dating? He wouldn't have to answer uncomfortable questions anymore, and I'd enter my new school as the girlfriend of the star quarterback. It should be easy, right? Of course, I didn't plan on falling for Matthew's brother.
