When Aly found Ethan

"Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in all dreams
You're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, and all my dreams
Oh, you're the one I want"
~paper rings by Taylor Swift

Heartbreaking, mind-wrecking story of how Aly saves Ethan in ways she never imagined, and Ethan hopes she never would.
Ethan, a loner who never had friends, but also someone who never tried to make one.
Aly, who was the only bright thing in his life ever since she entered it when they were kids.
This is a journey of two individuals with completely opposite personalites, but finding their way to each other.

(Dual pov, the storyline alternates between past and present. Please check out the TWs.)
