Carter Adams never meant more than a fling to me.
He wasn't supposed to be permanent. We were never supposed to see each other again.
...so how in God's name did I end up in this situation?
•~•~•~•~•
Annabelle Franklin was perfectly content with her summer last year at the small town of Seaside Crystal. Her life was falling apart back then: she needed a temporary fix. And that fix had come in the form of Carter Adams. But that was a year ago. She was over him now. Maybe.
But Carter definitely wasn't over her.
Find out what happens when a summer fling blossoms into much more. But here's the catch; will it bloom into a flower or die out as a bud?

There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
