Zayn Malik found Avery Adams on the side of the road, right when she needed him most. Being sixteen isn't easy for either of them. Their lives became entangled, each becoming involved in something neither of them were used to. Life becomes an absolute rollercoaster, and they can do nothing but cling to each other. The ever-long winter in Avery's soul slowly transforms to spring. It seems like nothing can go wrong, until one fateful night when they are torn apart by none other than each other despite their existing desperate feelings. Days, weeks, months... Time seems to be lost the day they lose each other. Both are afraid, both are hurt, both are torn, both are changed. Back to where they started - as strangers - they might never find each other once again in the darkness that has claimed their once-glowing lives.
