❝I've tried so hard to love you, I really have," I whispered, my breath a white mist in the freezing cold air.
She stood across from me, fists clenching at her sides, standing in only a thin gray top and leggings. Tears streaked her face, but she didn't wipe them away, she let them fall freely. "No," despite the tears on her face and her shaky hands, her voice was strong, commanding. "I don't believe you."
"Why?" I croaked out, reaching towards her, but she flinched away from my hand, shoulders tense and jaw ticking.
"Because, how can you love me," now her voice broke with all the emotions hitting her at once. She began again, "How can you love me when you don't even love yourself?❞
COMPLETED✅
Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love.
This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction.
Today I'm turning my fiction to reality.

Excerpt:
Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain.
The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel.
"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question.
"Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me.
