They say you never forget your first love.
June thought she moved on - until the past came knocking again.

A New Year's Eve anchored side by side.
A thousand stolen glances.
A heart still carrying secrets.

Josh loves her.
Alan loved her.
And June? She never really stopped loving him back. With Josh gone, she's forced to spend more time with Alan - stirring up feelings she thought she'd buried long ago.

In between what was and what still could be, June finds herself in the memories she tried to forget - one flashback at a time. Torn between the boy who stayed and the boy who never did, she must choose between holding on... or finally letting go.All Rights Reserved

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. 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. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.
