And waiting. And freakin waiting. She'd been going to the same school since first grade and knew the kids almost as well as she knew her younger brother. But they didn't know her that well. Logan. Stupid Logan. He had to come into her life, become her best friend, have her fall for him, then decide to date her other best friend before dating the school slut and losing his virginity to her in eighth grade. If you're wondering, Charlotte's pretty fantabulous at holding grudges. Yet as the new school year comes around a new guy, Xavier, enters the neighborhood and finally draws Charlie's attention away from Logan. He's special, different, kind, sweet, mysterious and definitley over protective. What happens when the love of your life doesn't exactly love you back or when a new guy comes skedaddaling into the picture? No one really knows. And no one in the world really cares. Puh-lease girlfriend, cry me a river.

Highest Ranking on hotlist: #1 #Wattpad Exclusive Story #New paid exclusive chapters available Her confusion multiplied, looking at the unrefined fury in his eyes, the seriousness and finality in his features. "I seriously am clueless here, Alex. What is it that I've done?" she asked. "Tell me." "This." he threw some photos her way. Shaken by Alex's behavior, Kate snapped her face back as some of the photos slapped across her cheek. They crawled down in the air to slowly settle around her feet. He looked away from her like she had burned him. And Kate couldn't help but feel her insides tremor. Instincts screamed at her that a storm had indeed entered her life with the intent to harm the love that she and Alex shared. Bending down slowly, she reached out with trembling hands; she picked up one of the photos from the floor and froze. In the photo, Neil, her best friend, and she was making out. Kate remembered this moment, but it was nothing like this. Lifting her eyes from the photo where she had apparently locked lips with Neil, Kate looked back up into Alex's eyes and got scared out of her wits.

There, those emotions were now replaced with endless hatred only. ~Nothing lasts forever; people change, and so change their lives.~ Kate thought she had one forever with Alex, but that forever came to an end too soon. When she was about to tell him the news of her pregnancy, what she expected was his elation and love, never had she thought that she would be punished instead.

He believed she was his unfaithful wife, only to see the truth when the destruction was complete. Prequel: In the Rain (ongoing) Sequel: And Then it Rained (ongoing)
