Emma's life is a carefully organized puzzle-her notebooks are filled with doodles, her thoughts with overanalyzed possibilities. But when it comes to Jake-the boy with the messy curls and quiet gaze-her confidence unravels.
One note. One choice. A thousand different outcomes.
Should she give it to him? Will he smile? Will he laugh? Will he even care? In her mind, Emma plays out every possible scenario-romantic confessions, epic disasters, soul-crushing rejections. But as the clock ticks down, there's one question she can't escape: What happens if she does nothing at all?
A story about love, fear, and the infinite futures that exist between a moment of hesitation and the courage to take a chance.

The Boy She Left Behind ✓
"Hey! You dropped your wallet in - " Emma's words die in her mouth as she glances down upon a picture tucked in the wallet. A picture of her and the blue-eyed stranger to be exact - one in which he's kissing her cheek as she lovingly gazes at the camera. Shocked to her core, and frankly terrified as well, she looks up to see the same stranger intently staring at her. "Emma," he breathes cautiously, "I can explain." Fate is a twisted yet beautiful thing. If two people are meant to be together, no force on earth or heavens can ever tear them apart. So it is decided that at the end of the day, the boy she left behind will catch up and sweep her off her feet. Even when Emma fails to recognise him. ~~~~~~~~~~ Highest ratings: No. 01 - Short story - 03/October/2019 No. 02 - Short story - 04/October/2019 ~~~~~~~~~~ Story was completed on the 7th of September' 2016, but it's unedited so read at your own risk.Complete
