"When you love someone, you tend to lose them along the way; after that, you now have two choices: lose again or love again."
The idea behind loving and then losing is something London Volt is regrettably familiar with. Her high school years at a small town in Massachusetts were considerably filled with bliss, up until a few months before her Senior Year.
Left with heartache and dried tears, she makes a list. A list directed towards herself, Jasper Michel, a little bit of Ryder Mayhem, and every girl who felt just like her even in the slightest.
A list about how easily you can love and lose...
And maybe... just maybe, what exactly is the aftermath of that.

Play Me That Song
"The things you do for friends." He laughed softly... "Yeah. For friends," I whispered. "Is that what we are then?"....

I was sure by his smirk that the movement didn't go unnoticed. I swallowed nervously. I didn't know what to say. Just a week ago I told him we were nothing. A few days before that I was ready to tell him off and possibly even smack him if I ever got the chance to see him again. Sure, he was one of my oldest friends and my first (and only) love, but he was also my first heartbreak. Could I go back to being friends with the same guy who insinuated to the world that I was a cheater?

Gone | Edited
The first in the Gone trilogy. ❝People change. Memories don't. ❞ I had that one person. That one person who would be my brightness in the dullest of days (trust me, there were a lot) just by gracing me with his presence. The frown that was permanently etched on my face would always seemingly dissipate into the happiness I felt when we'd meet up, running into his arms like he was my safe place. Everyone expected him to have someone, but no one thought it'd be me. No one wanted it to be me. Looking back on it now, it seemed like a typical love story. Him, the kind and gentle-hearted boy and I, the rude and cold-hearted girl. He wasn't kind, he wasn't gentle-hearted because if he was, then he wouldn't have left. Without a word. His lack of words towards me doesn't mean that I'm left speechless. In fact, I have a thousand words wanting to just slip off my tongue right this moment. Just because he's gone.
