Amelia-Rose Iverson’s life was a constant nightmare that took over every fibre of her being. It was a torment she was unprepared for. Every ounce of her, wished she had the nerve to walk deep into the depths of the ocean and stay down under.
Singing became her way of surviving; pouring her feelings in the lyrics, singing like there was no tomorrow was the only thing keeping her sane.
Nathaniel Sword, on the other hand, had everything and anything. He was a Greek God with a frozen heart. But under the veneer of perfection lie the emotional scars of his childhood.
The two are like fire and ice. But, doesn't heat have the ability to melt the frost? What happens when the king of the school steps in her life? Drama, heartbreaks, friendship and flashbacks became the definition of her life since then.
Can she be able to tear down the walls she had carefully built to protect herself? Or will her memories, long ago buried, start to claw their way back to the surface, forcing her to confront a past she has done everything she can to forget?

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
