Meryl, 30, has been now three years miles away from her hometown - Sylverbridge - working as an emergency doctor. One day, she is announced her brother's death through phone call and it made a wreck of her. Back home for the funeral, she dove back to the shared memories with her brother, filled with regret and nostalgia.

Days after the burial, she now has to go back to her previous life where patients and sleepless nights were awaiting her. The idea doesn't excite her that much but she feels the strong need to leave Sylverbridge and the sooner, the better. That's when the wildest idea stroke her mind: travelling 580 miles back to Northtown - her working town - by renting a car and a private driver.

Tobey is 35 and has worked as driver for years. Life hasn't always been kind to him and he's got his own demons always lurking inside and out like starving vultures - uncertainties, fear, anger, sadness. The fact is, Tobey is an extremely emotionally unstable man trying his best to keep his inner peace safe - or should we say, what's left of it.

And then one day, he met Meryl. The annoying passenger he's gonna have to spend the longest 72 hours with from Sylverbridge to Northtown.

What they have in common?

This endless road that only seemed to lead them nowhere else but to sad realities that the world denies to protect itself from emotional chaos.

From random strangers to acquaintances, from disagreement to understanding, from silence to laughers, from emptiness to feelings, this very same endless road will bind them in a way none of them ever expected.

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz
68 parts Complete Mature
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.
