I'll Be Back

❝I promised you, didn't I? I promised I'd come back for you no matter what. I said I'll be back.❞

Gabriella and Ayden made a promise one night - the night that his body was ready to fail him - that they'd never stop fighting for each other. But that all ended abruptly when Ayden left town without any more than the three words, 'I'll be back.'

And so she waited. Now he's finally back after two years but it seems as if he's left who he used to be in the same town too. He's become everything she'd ever want to stay away from, within minutes of their first re-encounter, his volatile actions confirmed his newly notorious reputation. But against her better judgements, Gabriella refuses to give up - she made a promise to fight for him, and if there's anything that she's learnt from loving him - it was that you don't stop fighting for the people you love.
