Synopsis
"Bumalik siya... pero hindi na siya 'yung iniwan ko noon."
Michael used to be the quiet, bullied boy in school chubby, awkward, and always hiding behind his glasses. But to Allyson, he was the kindest soul she'd ever met... her best friend, her first crush, her "what if."
When Michael's family moved to Canada, he left her with a bracelet and a promise: "When I come back, you'll still know me."
Years later, he did come back.
But this time, he wasn't the same boy she used to protect.
He was confident. Handsome. Different.
And while Allyson's heart still remembered him, life had changed she had her own world, her own best friend, Cassandra... who just happened to fall for Michael too.
Now caught between the past they once shared and the present that keeps breaking them apart, Allyson and Michael must learn what love really means beyond the promises, beyond the pain, beyond the timing that never seemed to be right.
Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren't about ending up together.
They're about learning how to say goodbye and still smile when you remember.
He wasn't my first love - but he was the first one who stayed long enough to make me believe in forever.
Until he didn't.
We were sixteen when we thought love could survive anything. We held on through distance, shifting courses, and growing pains. But when college came, so did the cracks - and eventually, the goodbye.
I spent years healing the version of me that broke for him. And just when I finally felt whole again... he came back.
But this time, he wasn't mine.
He found me healed - and still managed to hurt me.
This is the story of a love that didn't make it to the end... and the girl who learned how to love herself when he couldn't.
