We come into this life innocent, we have to learn how to survive, what a virtue is, what is right and  wrong, when to bend the rules. What I've learned is that life isn't meant to be planned, there are events and circumstances that we can't control that will spin our life out of control. 

My plan went out the window the moment my eyes met his, I just didn't know it then. I thought I could keep going. I thought that it wouldn't change anything. He was a stranger. I had no connection to him whatsoever. But even the smallest of things can be what turns your whole world around. To me that was him. It just took me some time to figure that out. After I met him, nothing would ever be the same again. 

Sometimes the aftertaste lingers a bit longer than you first expected it to.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. 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. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

"I want to believe I'm doing the right thing for me," she whispered. "So, I can break out of my shell, you know? It just feels so wrong." "Sometimes," he started thoughtfully. "You think you're chasing the right life. Instead, you're pulling yourself away from the one you really need." ⚠️ This story will contain drug use, sex scenes, strong language, domestic abuse, sexual abuse and suicide.⚠️ Please read at your own discretion. *Please know that I do not support these themes in real life.
