Calliope's ex-boyfriend, her high school sweetheart, crash-landed back into her life like a rom-com sequel she never ordered, ready to rewrite the script of her existence once again.

                                                          ***

"You never forget your first love." Calliope Bennett absolutely hates the old cliché because she would love nothing more than to forget about her first love breaking her heart and shattering her world.

Chase Harrison, her high school sweetheart, once vowed a lifetime of bliss and eternal love. However, those promises shattered when Chase and his family vanished from the sleepy town, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions. Even Chase's closest friends were clueless, for they had deemed them the "couple most likely to have the cutest babies," with no inkling of what tore them apart.

With her dad as the MVP of support and her ride-or-die besties in her corner, she hit the reset button on life, leaving Chase's broken promises in the bin of forgotten memories.

Cal reluctantly agrees to the attend her high school class reunion under the impression Chase wouldn't return for such a trivial event. But the moment she catches a pair of familiar blue eyes on her, the memories and feelings she tucked away immediately flood her mind. As Chase begs for her forgiveness and time to explain, Calliope desperately tries to ignore the way her heart and her body still ache for him.

The more time they spend together, trying to mend the pain, the walls around her heart begin to crumble. While her mind reminds her of the hurt and suffering he caused, Cal wonders if Chase is not only her first love but also her only love?

A/N: I wrote this story when I was 15 it will definitely not the best thing you have ever read but I feel like I won't be editing it just as a reminder. This story takes place in a small town called Kingston Hill. It's the classic story of a boy meets girl, but it isn't easy. At first everything was platonic but grew. Some things happened and some things went wrong. Loss, heart ache, and plenty of emotional pain. Read on to experience the wonderful relationship of the core four, house of cards, high school royalty, known by plenty of names, you'll learn that nothing is ever perfect, difficulties happen and to this group of friends there is plenty of them. ------------ "I want you to kiss me" She said looking down at me "Is that all you want?" I questioned, my voice low and seductive. I wanted her in every way possible but I knew I couldn't tell her that because now wasn't the time. "I want you to kiss me like it's the first time in forever" She whispered breathlessly and that's exactly what I did. I stood up and dropped my hands to her waist and pulled her into me, I looked into her eyes down to her lips before leaning down to press my lips to hers. First it started slow and sweet before I grew hungry for more making my stomach explode with fireworks as I wrapped my arms around her waist and felt her arms slither around my neck. ------------ (This has switch POVs sometimes third, sometimes first it really matters how it feels with the chapter) Warning- story has some sexual suggestions, and sensitive topics such as miscarriage, depression, stalkers, and drug addiction.

10 parts Complete Mature
In "I Will Love You From Afar," the protagonist is a young girl who has secretly loved her childhood best friend for as long as she can remember. Their friendship is filled with shared laughter, secrets, and countless moments of closeness that mean the world to her. But just as she begins to fully understand the depth of her feelings, her world is shattered by unexpected news: her parents are relocating for work, and she has to leave immediately. The move is so sudden that the protagonist doesn't have the chance to say goodbye to her best friend, the girl who means everything to her. Torn between her unspoken love and the reality of her situation, she departs with a heavy heart, leaving behind the life she knew and the person she cared for most deeply. The story follows the protagonist as she adjusts to her new life, miles away from the place she called home. She's haunted by the memory of her best friend, replaying their last moments together and imagining how different things could have been if she had just confessed her feelings. The pain of leaving without a proper farewell gnaws at her, and she begins to wonder if her friend even knows how much she meant to her. As the protagonist grows older, she keeps her love alive through memories and daydreams, cherishing the connection she once had. She follows her best friend's life from afar, through social media and distant updates, witnessing her friend's milestones and relationships, all the while harboring the secret love she never had the chance to express. "I Will Love You From Afar" is a tender, bittersweet story about the love that never got a chance to blossom, the weight of unspoken words, and the ache of a goodbye that never happened. It's a narrative that explores the complexities of loving someone in silence, from a distance, and the enduring impact of that love on the protagonist's life as she navigates the challenges of growing up and moving on.
