accident cars lost love mustang rebuild wreck

Abigail "Abby" Mercer had it all-an idyllic love story with her husband, Andrew "Drew" Mercer, the man who made every day feel like a dream come true. They shared a life built on deep love and devotion, with Drew surprising her with the car of her dreams as a symbol of his affection. But a simple mistake-faulty windshield wipers-changes everything.

After a terrible accident in the rain, Abby wakes up disoriented, her memories of the crash wiped away along with the beautiful life she and Drew shared. Her once-familiar world now feels like a strange and unsettling place, and the man sitting by her bedside, devastated and guilt-ridden, is a stranger to her. Drew, desperate to remind Abby of the love they built, tells her he's her husband, but she recoils in confusion, unable to remember him or their life together.

As Drew fights to rekindle the spark of their lost love, Abby struggles to trust the man she can't remember loving. He replaces her ruined car with a modest project car, and together, they embark on a journey to restore it-mirroring the slow, painful process of rebuilding their relationship from the ground up.

Through heartbreak, small victories, and moments of tenderness, Abby begins to feel something stir for Drew, a connection she can't quite place. But as their shared time in the garage becomes a testament to persistence and patience, the question remains: will she ever remember the man who holds her heart, or will they be forced to start anew forever?

In a powerful tale of love lost and found, The Second Time Around explores the strength it takes to fight for a love that's been forgotten, and the hope that sometimes, second chances are just what the heart needs.All Rights Reserved

Remember When **Under MAJOR Editing** by justsoMEbody01

There's a lot Mya would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his 22-year-old girlfriend. Like Mya's fear that the whole town will find out about her mom's nervous breakdown. Like the darkly handsome bad boy, Dade, taunting her school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Mya fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she's the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Zack. But then Mya is in a car crash, and the next day there's one thing she can't remember at all --the entire night before. Did she go parking with Zack? And if so, why does it seem like Zack is avoiding her? Why is Dade--of all people--suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Mya dimly remembers Dade pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night, and it terrifies Mya to admit how much is a blank to her. Control, meticulously Mya is quickly losing her grip on all important details of her life. Her life suddenly feels strangely empty of Zack, and strangely full of Dade.

Blue Belt by jbrandt70

Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.
