A retelling of Laura Nowlins' best-selling books "If he had been with me" and "if only I had told her"
August 8th will forever be embedded into my mind as the saddest day in my bookish life.
Laura Nowlin may not be able to bring Finny back but I sure as fuck can.
Autumn had a dream.
She had begged him to stay and he didn't.
Because of that, she would never get to hold on to what she left slip through her fingers so many times.
She's not going to let that happen again.
Dreamworld or not Autumn and Finny weren't giving up on what they had created and it turns out it was a lot more than the two had originally thought.
With new challenges finny and Autumn fight for something they know is meant to be.
But now that they've found each other it seems that a greater being is eager to keep them apart.
Can the young couple fight against it or is god really against them?

But one ill-fated night she ran into the man who took her back to her memories. His presence itself stirred nerves. Although it seemed like an ill-fated run-in with their past she didn't know he was hunting for the girl he longed for all this time. And when he found her, he was quite reluctant on letting her slip off his hold. He was much more different than the boy she once knew and this time she could not get away. ************ ' You can do as you wish Isla but you cannot run away from me.' Her hand stills his clutches as she struggled against his hold in vain. Her eyes stared back at the man with who she denied having feelings for once. 'You scare me Jaxson' She whispered still struggling with his hold on her wrists. He smirked pulling her flush against his chest and laying his lips on hers. ********** #Rewritten #abusive content #18 +Complete
Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.
