20 year old Kennedy James, she always had a strong sense of self. Strong willed, opinionated and passionate, she was set to make her mark on the world once she made it back to her home; far away from the dreaded memories she was keen on leaving behind in Georgia. However, once she steps foot into the real world back 'home', she soon realizes that the life she thought she'd have was nothing compared to the reality she was facing. Soon, as harder times seem to hit, she finds herself in a place she'd never expect. Slowly but surely the woman she used to be becomes a distant memory. Now the version of the once strong willed and self assured young woman is replaced with a young woman unsure of who she really is, seeking to find the meaning in some of the deadliest of places.  Kennedy knows who she has become was not who she truly was, but in her mind she was too far gone, and the life she had now wouldn't allow for her to go back to who she used to be. However one night that seemed to be the worst night of her life, becomes her blessing in disguise as a path back home: to her true self. 

19 year old Isaiah St. Germain too was always self assured. Charismatic, witty and charming, the magnetic pull he had on people was truly effortless. There wasn't much he couldn't do when up in front of a crowd. College proved to be no different for the newly seasoned Sophomore as he too believes that this year will be easy like the last. However there was one person who never seemed to be too impressed by him: Kennedy James.  Yet she was now in his past. However, before she left she managed to open his reality to a truth that he had hidden behind his self confidence. With that truth unlocked Isaiah now had to wrestle with who he when no one else was looking. He too would come to realize that he had strayed from his true self, and life was about to set him on a path of his own. 

For Kennedy and Isaiah, the term 'self discovery' was about to take on an entire new meaning.

It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?

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.

But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him.

I find myself moving even closer to him, and for a moment, I'm not Cassidy. There's something familiar in the energy I feel.

Then my vision clears and it's Riley in front of me again, his head bending down and his eyes holding mine.

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you.
