Ever since Meg could remember, she liked independance. She always thought that being alone, and being able to rely on herself, was the best thing ever. No let downs, no broken promises, nothing of the sort. Until she meets someone she's known all her life, but become closer in high school. That was when the journey started. And dispite her strong independant life goal, she finds a way to let Olivia in.
Olivia had known Meg for years. They weren't too close until high school, when things happened, and they became closer. Meg was quiet, so Olivia did all the talking. Socializing, and all the things Meg didn't always find the necesity of doing.
After high school, the two decide that finding a place, and living on their own, would be a good idea, for experience and self discovery. As time goes on, ghosts from the past come back, knew arrivals join their stories and adventures, and secrets that were hidden, become light.
This story tells the tale of two young girls, fresh out of high school, who embark on the journey of independance, self love and finding who they truly are and want to be. A simple story really, but there's more that what meets the eye.
May contain some swearing, and chapters are quite long.
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say.
Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others.
Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out.
Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed.
Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan.
For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.
Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.
