"I couldn't understand why, but for some odd reason I couldn't find it in me to look away. It was like I was in a trance and my only fixation was this boy, this incredibly distant, scruffy haired boy who didn't seem to notice any of his surroundings rather than the notebook that he continued to scribble on incessantly."
What Happens when the only person you long for, is gone?

The only person left to turn to for an explanation is Natalie Parker, because she was there. She was the one who witnessed Connor Evans last moment of sanity, she was the one who witnessed Connor Evans last breath.

Before You Leave.....
Natalie and Aaron were two halves of a whole, defined by the comfortable, chaotic rhythm of a lifelong friendship. From childhood scrapes to teenage triumphs, they were an inseparable force, their bond so deeply woven into the fabric of their familie's lives that no one ever imagined a world where they wouldn't stand side-by-side. But beneath the easy banter and shared history, a dangerous secret festers: for years, one of them has harbored a silent, consuming unrequited love for the other-a fragile, secret vow never to confess, terrified that the truth would shatter their perfect, protective dynamic. The course of their lives is violently derailed when a sudden, terrifying event-a catastrophic accident, a medical crisis, or a shared trauma-throws them into the path of inevitable change. As one recovers from the brink of oblivion, the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves, threatening to expose the hidden feelings and forgotten promises. What follows is a tangled web of dark secrets, complex betrayals, and devastating plot twists. As they navigate escalating external dangers and the internal battlefield of their own hearts, their past choices collide with the present. Every attempt they make to save the other, to confess the truth, or to simply go back to the way things were, only serves to push them further toward a heartbreaking climax. Will fate be on their side? Or will they become a beautiful and tragic memory?Complete
