The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.

For practically ALL YOUR LIFE. Probably as well as the back of your hand. To seem...entirely different! From what they used to be. Or rather, who you thought they truly were. Then again!

So reason deeply, and tell me, What do you believe? **** "Er..I believe that...the term, holds a certain kind of eminence. N'that, whomever we are, be us young or old, everyone, everywhere! is susceptible to equal, unparalleled change!

They forget that CHANGES can be for good, AND for bad. It can bring the beautiful AND the ugly. It can pave a path of light OR darkness. Just because a chrysalis is breaking open, that doesn't mean a magical butterfly is gonna come fluttering out! These people FORGET! That moths? They go through the same stages too. But you? Do you believe people do change? Or are you under the impression that they don't? Or...is it the changes people can go through that is hard to believe? Don't worry, you only have to follow the stages accordingly. ....ARE YOU READY?Complete
