Broken Heart, Not Wings

"I'm alone." I whispered as I closed my eyes. I could feel the comfort of his hand, piercing my lower arm.

"No. Not anymore. Not ever. I.. I love you. I have since the very beginning Celeste. And I've never stopped. Not once. No matter how many times I fought myself to." He professed in a panting, but stern voice.

I popped my eyes open and stared at him with admiration and shock.

He.. Loves?.. Me?

The minute I opened my mouth to reply, he strongly attached our lips and kissed me with assurance and love. Love I haven't felt in a long, long time.

Do I? Love him back? I think.. No, I know. That I.. I..

Beautifully sweet Celeste has a past that caused her to be left alone physically, and at heart. Her best friend is the only one who manages to lift her permanent frown into a true smile, but how long does it take for her to notice that his 'friendly' love, is much more than he lets on to be? And what about the bad boy who has a weird and sudden interest in her? Plus there's also his super cute friend.. What's a broken 17 year old girl to do when all of a sudden 3 boys are trying to get the love that she hasn't been able to offer for years?
