"Everything happens for a reason." - Anonymous
The world's a fucked up place, a place that was made for people to suffer. Nothing more, nothing less.
Well, at least that's what Skylar Roberts thought, and her past didn't prove any differently.
She hasn't had the best experience down the road of life and she had learned a long time ago that it's much easier to go through life with no expectations and a closed off heart, not giving a flying fuck about what anyone else thinks of you.
She never believed that there would be anything more to her life, nothing to look forward to or a light at the end of the tunnel. This is it. And nothing could change that.
But once she meets a certain messy-haired boy, things seem to change, boundaries being pushed and secrets being leaked. But despite all he does for her, it doesn't change her opinion. Life is, and always will be, a meaningless cycle.
"Because. No one could make me change my mind. Not even Ryan."

What It Could Have Been
I've been waiting for this moment for over a year now. Hoping, dreaming, holding onto the picture in my mind what life could be like. I always thought this would never come. Thinking it's impossible for me to have a new start. Go to a new place, see new faces, meet new people. It always felt like walking through a desert with a map drawn in water. But even then, I never let go of my dream. I would close my eyes and imagine everything. How different I would feel waking up in the morning, how light my chest would feel, how more confident and comfortable I would feel. I was kind of writing my own little story in my head. And now, I'm just one zip of my suitcase away and my story will be coming to life. ------------------------------- Venus Jennings didn't just leave Harbor Ridge, she escaped it. Haunted by loss and chased by memories she can't outrun. Venus builds a quiet new life in a new town where no one knows her name or the pain she carries. She wants a fresh start in hopes to finding something she's never truly had: Peace, freedom, and maybe even love. Lucas Solace is the last person Venus thought she would ever cross paths with. He's kind, sincere, incredibly handsome and impossible to ignore. He's everything Venus believes she doesn't deserve. With his charm and persistence she slowly catches herself falling for him. She doesn't want to because trust and love doesn't come easy to her when the past she's running from still haunts her in ways she can't explain . But she wonders if letting him in might not be so dangerous after all. As Venus begins to open up to new possibilities, shadows of her past resurface forcing her to confront the reality she's been avoiding instead of just accepting to be free.Complete
