(Jer and Stas's Story) *in progress, unedited*
They were only kids when they fell in love - too young to know what forever meant, too stubborn to believe it couldn't last.
Jeremiah Hawthorne was all heart. Loud laughter, steady hands, a boy who loved like he meant it.
Stassie Whitaker was all armor. Sharp edges, quiet strength, a girl who learned early that love doesn't always stay.
Together, they built something real - something fragile and beautiful and theirs. Until life took everything they thought they knew and forced them to start over.
Some promises break.
Some fade.
And some - no matter the distance, the silence, the years - refuse to die.
Promise Me Now is a raw and haunting story about first love, growing up too fast, and the way two souls find each other again and again - even after everything else is gone.

Us, to nowhere

Faith Allen is someone not all of us can relate to, but some of us will on a spiritual level. Did I mention she's sexy as hell? And probably the perfect girlfriend. Hated by the ex, and all the other girls that want him. Alex Flynn, new in school, so hot all the girls eye at him, but his eyes? Fall right below her.

They sit there in the cafeteria being like, "damn, they're still together?" Holding hands, sharing kisses, saying, "i love you's" and being there for each other almost everytime. Is all this enough to make a relationship work? This book is torn between, "oh my god, could they be any cuter?" and "I did not see that coming." It'll make you want to keep reading and you won't want it to end. Dive in this beautiful journey of love and passion, but let's not forget we don't live in a fairytale. Let's restore your faith in writing your own happiness, shall we?Complete![🌸The Promise 🌸[18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/202797167-256-k241815.jpg)
