Description:
Love isn't always soft. Sometimes, it's desperate, messy, and cruel. Falling, Not Flying is the true story of bran and Ashton -a love that burned too bright, too fast, and left nothing but ashes. What started as passion turned into obsession, and what should have been healing became destruction. This is a story of love, regret, and the haunting weight of memories that refuse to fade. A story of a boy who loved too much and lost himself in the process.

I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
