"That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt." -John Green, The Fault in our Stars.

------------

They say you either learn from your mistakes or keep repeating them.

The former is what Alexandra Flora is trying to achieve when she is given the chance at a somewhat fresh start for her senior year. After an incident during her summer holiday becomes her biggest regret, she tries to overcome the struggles of this mistake while plagued with an overwhelming abundance of grief, sorrow and guilt that eats away at her being, slowly crumbling away the essence of who she is, or more correctly was. Unable to dig herself out of the abyss of pain that she has been enduring for months due to her lacking ability to accept what has happened and ease her guilt, she finds a little help along the way from her family, friends and one other unlikely source.

Carter Romero has his own problems that eat away at him and cause him to repeat his mistakes just to find an escape from his stressful life. But when Alexandra comes crashing into his life unexpectedly at full force, along with her troubles and feisty personality, he can't help his peaked curiosity at her obvious secrets and mysterious past that seems to be haunting her. Similarly as how his past is creeping up on him. 

This is a story of how everyone needs a little help every once in a while to overcome the inevitable pain of life's struggles and uncertainties.

There's a difference between being alone and lonely. ~~~~~~ "Why does love hurt? "Because......if it doesn't hurt then it isn't love." I replied. ~~~~~ Eugene Hansen - He is rich and has everything one could wish for life; name, fame, money, and good looks except for that one thing he craves the most: LOVE. He masks his pain and loneliness behind his attitude and arrogance but if you take a close look at him, you will know how much he yearns to love and to be loved in return. Abigail Devon - She is not rich. She doesn't live a lavish lifestyle. For her life has always been hard and full of struggle. But, she never shows it on her face. She masks her pain behind her smile, kind behavior and easy going nature. She yearns for love but because of the hardships she has gone through, she is afraid to take that leap. They are poles apart but when they come to stand face-to-face, their life takes a complete 360. They don't have anything in common; from their social status to their behavior, they are the perfect example of the word 'Opposite'. Despite that fact, there is one thing that's common between them: They both have lost their loved ones. Will this one common fact bring them closer or will it separate them forever? Join Abigail and Eugene on their journey to find true love through a path that contains a lot of fun, fights, a lifetime friendships, hardships, hatred, but most of all - love and hurt because of which they cannot help but say "Sorry, I Love You."

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

She then learns what it really meant to get the raw end of life. Follow as Alexandra deals with more then she thought she could handle.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•

40 parts Complete

[COMPLETED] Note: under editing! Love, memories, and pain. Those three words sometimes are the meaning of a relationship. The love you have for each other. The memories you make together and the pain you felt in any problems you encounter alone... or together. Pain in a relationship is unexpected, you don't know when will it come.. when will it happen, and what will be the cause. Sometimes, battles are the cause of pain in a relationship. In this world full of battles, Love is the most powerful weapon. But what if love makes you the weakest person on the battlefield, will you still fight? Will you continue? What if the one that you love left you in a world full of struggles and battles? Can you still face the battlefield and move forward? Can you still fight, without love?

Thus, this story might be beyond your expectations.} Started: January 15, 2020 Ended: September 28, 2020
