Going through her day with a fake smile on her face is the only thing Rose Everhart knows.
People always see themselves at a point in their life where they can neither go back and change everything nor can they bring themselves to delete all the memories that made the person who they are today.
Rose's past already took everything she held dear away from her. What more does fate want from her?
That's when she meets Andrew Goldfilde who tears Rose's facade down and enraptures her heart with that charming smile and those deep blue eyes that can captivate a person's soul.
But what happens when the one thing she valued the most, the one thing she can cling onto is also snatched away from her?
How will she swim upwards from all the deep crevices that that constantly get deeper in her life? How will she stay afloat amongst the innumerable tidal waves that crash into her, breaking her piece by piece?

Cherish The Moments We Had Together
Cherish The Moments We Had Together A Story of Second Chances and New Beginnings When Ethan Collins is uprooted from everything familiar-his hometown, his friends, his girlfriend-and transplanted to Westwood in the middle of junior year, he's convinced his life is over. Armed with bitter resentment and a long-distance relationship he's determined to maintain, he arrives at Westwood High expecting nothing but misery. What he finds instead is a world that refuses to let him wallow. There's Andy, the effortlessly charismatic athlete who won't take no for an answer. Dayna Prescott, the mysterious "Westwood royalty" who seems to have her own agenda. And a cast of characters who all seem to know who he is before he's even introduced himself-courtesy of his surgeon mother's growing legend and his lawyer father's rising star. Ethan doesn't want a fresh start. He wants his old life back. But as boxes get unpacked and unfamiliar hallways become navigable, he begins to realize that maybe-just maybe-being forced to rebuild isn't the end of his story. It might be the beginning of something he never knew he needed. This is a story about the messy reality of starting over. About the guilt of moving forward when part of you wants to stay stuck. About discovering that sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you opens the door to the best thing you never saw coming. Not every ending is an ending.
