"The scariest thing about distance is that you don't know whether they'll miss you or forget you."                                           -Nicholas Sparks 

Janessa and Drew have been best friends since they were five. They thought not even the gods above can come between them. Every moment they spent together was cherished. Their spark was extraordinary, their love was irresistible, and their bond was inseparable. As cliché as it sounds, I guess you could say they were each other's other half.

Before Janessa is forced to move to California for her mother's new job, when she was 10, her and Drew made a promise that one day, when they're older, they'll be together again just like before. 

But in one instant, a blink of an eye, a tragic accident, and half a nanosecond, things changed for the worst.

So when Janessa moves back to the "Heart of Hawaii" seven years later, she's in for a ride of her life. Involving love, loss, drama, heartbreak, and froyo.

Yes, froyo. 

Will things ever be the same between her and Drew? Do they both keep their promise? Well that's something you should find out for yourself. Discover how both Janessa and Drew's lives have changed since they've last seen each other and how the hardships of love and life can change you entirely.

This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. Might break it up into volumes later.

Paisley Davenport ♫ When Willow Mayfair's life falls apart, her mother brings her to Briar Cove, the small coastal town where she grew up. Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. For everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. Genre: Slice of Life/Romance/Humour This is a slow-burn journey through love and life, filled with an array of beloved characters, their sad moments, happy moments and a multitude of bat-sh#t crazy moments.

✗ "I'm sorry," I choked, the tears spilling down my cheeks. He shook his head and pulled me closer again. "Don't be sorry, just work on getting better," He said, rubbing calming circles on my back while I cried into his chest. His arms tightened around me and he pressed his lips against the top of my head, making me cry even harder. "I had never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be good enough," I whispered. The guilt weighing heavy on my shoulders. "Briar," He said quietly, "You're so much more than good enough." ✗ Meet Briar Martin. She's popular, rich, smart and pretty, add a perfect boyfriend to that list and her life couldn't be much better, right? Wrong. Briar's life is spiralling out of control, and it feels like no one can see her struggle. No one can help her. At least, that's what she thinks before Tyler Grey walks into her life, turning everything on it's head. Tyler is mysterious, charming, and drop dead gorgeous, but does he have what it takes to save Briar from her downward spiral? And what happens when he's the one who needs saving? Can these two broken people fix each other, and find peace with themselves? Or are some things broken beyond repair?
