the beginning of the end.

Hope Ambrose is a negative person. Simple as that. She doesn't believe in love, happiness, or even herself, Hope. She's existed, but not exactly lived. When she is diagnosed with a rare disease and is told that her vision will not last, she knows it's the end. She knows there will be no Hope. It is the beginning of the end. However, Alec Chason, is willing and determined to change that- they had met at the hospital coincidentally. Hope is cold, but Alec is persistent, and a friendship begins to form. Alec and Hope are from different worlds, as Alec has always had happiness and love and popularity in his life, unlike Hope, but they find a way to meet in the middle. As Alec helps Hope feel more visible in a school that had once seen her as invisible, and helps her have the most memorable year that will be seen to the eye, Hope's dark past begins to unravel- revealing why she had been so pessimistic, anxious, angry, in the beginning. Alec appears to have a perfect life, but is also holding secrets inside. Even as vision fades, Hope begins to believe in herself, and maybe even in happiness, which she had shunned her whole life. Maybe the end is what it takes to realize love.
