The smell after it rains. That's what Claire reminded me of. The fresh, dewy scent that hangs in the air moments after the clouds have parted, like curtains pulled back to reveal a clear blue sky. Flowers in spring, the wild ones that grow in the garden. The ones that she used to pluck from the earth and tuck behind her ear, their vibrant colours seemingly dull compared to the bright red of her hair. Freshly mown grass, tree houses and the sound of laughter. I don't know why these things still reminded me so much of her, after so long. It had been years since we'd been happy. Everything was perfect before she left. I missed that.
*****
After the accident, James's world fell apart, and as soon as he had the opportunity to leave his home, he ran as fast as he could.
Years later and he has no choice but to go home again, and after several glimpses at what he lost, he realises that maybe his past isn't so far behind.
When a familiar face reappears and begins to draw him back into the world he thought he'd never see again, he decides that maybe the life he had before isn't so impossibly far away.
There's just one problem...

A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
