"What we have here is a dreamer. When she jumped, she thought she could fly."
The graveyard is not unfamiliar to Amelie Hadley. Every Saturday, she comes here with a new collection of flowers to lay down on her sister's grave. Some days it's a bouquet of pink carnations. Other days it's a single pansy. It's been like this for the past 6 years.
One day, a boy comes to one of the newly dug graves. Amelie hasn't seen him here before but she notices the yellow carnation that he leaves at the base of the grave. Not a choice she would've made.

The Star The Sunflower Faced
Asther lost home, and nothing could return it back. It was like a boulder carelessly wrecking a house. And the remainder was its ruins, the memories. Or a child who innocently plucked the remaining red rose out of the sea of wilting ones. Either way, either metaphor. Her mother slipped out of her young hands. And nothing could and would bring her back. As she continues to stir into her coffee cup of misery, nostalgia and bitter hopelessness. Their serendipity leered like the eloquent moon above them. When Asther was annoyed with sleepless nights, she thought that she could find comfort solo. In the middle of a tired sunflower field. But when she thought loneliness was the cure to a heart lethargic from homesickness, she immediately found the best medicine in Gray. A boy who couldn't lull himself as well. And a young puppy-like teen who treated her like she was the best owner he's ever had. And immediately, Asther felt as if a new roof was sprawled above their sleepy but love-aired heads. How, you ask? Well, Asther also couldn't pluck it from her scalp. But all she knew, is that what she found instead of what she was trying to achieve was the thing she should have been looking for all along. copyright © 2019 by lovveIyComplete
A Yellow Rose
■■ "Isn't it ironic how we kill flowers because we think that they're beautiful?" He asked, while I took hold of a yellow rose in my hand. I chuckled at him before answering, "Isn't it ironic that my name is Ayushi?" He rolled his eyes before an annoyed look found a way to his face. "Perhaps the reason people are drawn to flowers is not only because of their outer beauty, but because they remind you beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting." I said, smiling down at the beautiful flower in my hand. "But why a yellow rose?" He questioned further. "Yellow rose means remembrance." ■■Complete

It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending!
