(DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THR CHARACTERS OR SOME OF THE PLOT, I ONLY OWN THE CHARACTERS NOT FOUND WITHIN THE TV SHOW OR COMICS AND THE SAME GOES FOR THE STORY)

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.

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

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.
