"Love is friendship that has caught fire."
As true as those words are, so is the love Zachary Russell and Chloe Miller share. The little moments Chloe loved to capture and those special things that Zach did for her blurred everything else in life for ten years until both had to face their demons. Alone.
Words didn't have to be said to see how much Zach's decision affected his best-friend but it took him two whole years to see the damage he did.
What happens when Zach decides to finally cross paths with the girl he hurt while trying not to let her down again. Will they give their love or friendship as they call it, a second chance? Or is it just going to end with feelings left unresolved?

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'Complete
