Growing up with a flighty, unavailable mother for the most prominent years of your childhood then subsequently being dumped into foster care at the tender age of eight for 18 months really shapes a girl. It's hard adjusting to normal life after that; moving down the coast and living with your functional and loving father and new family definitely was not something Akasha Wayland saw coming. 11 years later after building a new life with her dad, stepmom and twin brothers, getting accepted into the college of her dreams and having two best friends that anyone could have, life couldn't get any better. All of the worst years were behind her now... or so she thought. Horrible, terrible secrets and skeletons that aren't so dead after all threaten to unravel life as she knows it. All because she picked up a guitar again.

"You trust me?" I look up at him, staring into his light brown eyes that stared directly at me. It felt like he was staring into my soul trying to read me. I could barely answer his question because I was busy looking at him. Once I realized I was staring like crazy, I quickly look down. "I do." ----------------------------- She's the girl you never saw coming, the unexpected one who calms you, centers you, and still she turns out to be the surprise love of your love.

One Year Apart
College was supposed to be a fresh start-new classes, new friends, new freedom. She never planned on falling for him: the boy with the guitar, the voice that silenced crowds, the charm that made everyone chase after him. She watched from the sidelines, certain her feelings would remain a secret, hidden behind smiles and excuses. But secrets don't stay buried forever, and hearts don't always listen to reason. ✨ What happens when the girl who swore she'd never confess finds herself caught in a story bigger than she ever imagined? #bestfriends#guitar#CollegeRomance#CampusLove#FirstLove#NewBeginnings#CollegeCrush#LoveStory#romantic
