The Ending We Never Had

When Liora reconnects with her childhood crush during lockdown, she never expects their late-night chats and shared melodies to grow into the kind of love she always dreamed of-only to later become the heartbreak she never saw coming.

For years, Liora quietly admired Kaelen from afar-her tall, mysterious classmate with a voice like music and eyes that seemed to see everything but her. But when the pandemic hits in Grade 9, an unexpected message changes everything. What begins as casual conversation turns into deep connection, as Kaelen begins to share his music, his secrets, and eventually... his heart.

By Grade 10, their friendship turns into something more. He holds her hand near the canteen. Gives her a nickname. Makes her laugh when her world is falling apart. And when her family breaks-when her mom leaves and her brother is taken away-Kaelen is the one person who stays. Through trauma, distance, and cultural divides, their love only deepens.

But not every love story ends with a forever.

When pressure from Kaelen's parents forces them apart, Liora is left to pick up the pieces of her already fragile world. And even when he returns, changed and wanting her back, she must decide if love is enough when the past still lingers and their beliefs stand in the way.

A story of broken homes, healing hearts, and the bittersweet ache of the one that got away-with an unfinished love that once felt eternal.
