About You and I ✓
This is a story about where at a certain age we start to understand the importance of the bonds we share with one another. A story about the smiles, the laughter, and the moments we can't just brush off out of our hearts. April Mark, a university second year in search for knowledge coincidentally came across Tyler Greg, an upperclassman whom at first she thought was very familiar. In pursuit to finding his true identity she was caught up in the sweet sensational expression of being with him. She found true love in him only to later find out that he's that one childhood friend; or rather brother whom her mother warned her to stay clear of. Battling with school, having a steady relationship with her mother, and true love misconceptions she'd found herself in. She soon found out that her story was one where a single misunderstanding could end up creating the most toxic outcomes. Her choices determined her fate and she was left with a choice, either to choose her mother, or to choose Tyler Greg.Complete
