"You never intended for it to happen. Never saw it coming. Love was like that. It was a perennial seed, that grew from joy, hate, fear. But for me, it grew from loss and perhaps it was the most surprising, because tragedy blind sights you. It keeps you from accepting the truth until it's too late-too big- to deny.
That's how my love for my best friend's brother grew. Out of the tragedy of his death."
Emry Dare's best friend is dead. After a car crash that kills him, she has no idea how to move on or how to heal. But to her surprise, she finds comfort in her best friend's brother, another loved one left behind. Together, perhaps they can finally heal.
But this isn't just a story of loss. It's also one of new hope, forged between the boy who lost his little brother, and the girl his brother left behind.

It's been seven years since that day and they haven't seen each other since.

Evan became a paramedic so that he could save lives and save people from having to hear how their loved ones died moments before they arrived at the scene. He never lets himself truly remember that day or the paramedics who delivered the news to him while Carla stood by the wreck, tears falling from her eyes and his cell phone clutched in her hand. |------------------------------------------------------| | Short Story | Teen Fiction | No one ever truly wants to say goodbye to the ones they love because that will mean admitting that they are going- leaving 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.
