[Inspired by @azreto's AU on tumblr] Soulmates don't discover their significant other until the age of 18. Difficult for most but never stopped many's desires. Young Izuku accepted his fate of being quirkless and didn't push that path any further. He discovered that his love for heroes and protecting people can be pursued in a different career choice that he decided to go into the medical field. As he spends his last year in middle school still being picked on by the devilish Katsuki. He knew he didn't want to leave things on bad terms. But sadly he didn't get that happy farewell from middle school to high school since the two parted. They lost their connection together until a brief connection in texts before his flight to his new future to be in the medical field and become a true hero. One without the quirks. But the last text sent from Katsuki... Brought a feeling that was forever hidden to the real world...

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.
