What if a car crash took your childhood best friend's life, only for her to reappear years later with no memory of you?
Vincent Athelsten, a 15-year-old high school student with a strong academic record, still cherishes the memory of his childhood best friend, Emma. Unbeknownst to him, Emma survived the tragic car crash that was believed to have claimed her life. Now known as Lina Hayes, she lives with amnesia, adopted by a detective who fabricated her past.
As fate brings them together at Oakland High, Vincent is drawn to Lina, sensing a familiar connection he can't explain. Their paths intertwine through shared classes and a school film project titled "Her Un-Story," which eerily mirrors Lina's own missing past. While Vincent prepares for a daunting public speaking challenge, he grapples with the unsettling possibility that Lina is Emma.
Will Vincent uncover the truth about Lina's identity, or will their shared past remain a forgotten secret? It might just be a matter of time until he uncovers the truth, but how will he know it? Will it be by coincidence, does he know it all along, or is there something more sinister at play?

an almost decade old story. * "one tragedy changed their lives." a story with dialogues and minimal description, in which a boy ends up in the hospital after a car accident and his friend slowly collapsing under the weight of his tortured mind. but what actually happened that one fateful night and what other secrets will be unraveled? * two main male pov's, recognizable through italics and normal text. a story written unlike any other. i hope you'll find comfort in it just as much as i have. be aware that this is a realistic story. * slow-burn start, but it picks up. don't let the number of chapters fool you; the average reading time for each is less than a minute . i came up with the story of the two friends when i was still quite young and i'm by no means a writer, so it deeply apologize if it sucks ass. feel free to vote and comment or point out any spelling mistakes or confusing paragraphs. it needs some editing and possibly some small changes or added chapters for clarity and better character development, but as for now, this first completed story will do. original story: around 2014. first upload: 2020. re-upload: 2023.Complete

Shawn looked at me with a puzzled face. "What are you writing?" I looked up from my new journal and smiled. "I'm writing everything that has happened lately, so that I don't forget. If I don't write this quickly, I'll forget it. And besides, this way I will know what not to do the next time I meet a handsome boy." He smiled. "So, basically it's an idiot's guide to falling in love?" I laughed. "Yes, exactly." We both stayed silent for a few seconds, just looking into each other's eyes.
