Chloe and Ryan had been best friends since Chloe moved to town when they were kids, something more had always been there but each was to afraid to ask
As they got older Chloe found a boyfriend, great at first, but soon the relationship turned sour and it was like Chloe's bad childhood all over again
When a party brought them back together, stronger than ever, and circumstances allowed them to stay that way they were ecstatic
Until it all came crashing down around Chloe, it was all ruined, no one could ever know her secret and no one ever would....at least that was what she intended
The next day Chloe had disappeared, leaving behind only one thing that could give anyone a clue as to her whereabouts
A paper doll
Ryan had to find her, he knew it, he couldn't be left without answers, why did she leave? Why didn't she tell him? He'd have gone with her had she asked, but she'd left him behind and he had to know why at the very least, but could he find her? Or was Chloe lost to him forever?

Best friend's brother kinda romance... But without the clichè.
"Being with Rose is like talking to the ocean. To the sky. To the stars and the moon and forming constellations in her eyes" A pause. The world seems frozen in this moment, in this smile forming on my lips "It's hearing her voice and it holding secrets I didn't know I needed to hear. It's hearing her heartbeat in the silence and knowing; I'm not alone"

Asher has lost the one person that understood him better than anyone else. He thinks the darkness will follow him forever, but when he meets Rose, all he sees is light. He laughs. And for him, that's enough. That's more than enough.
Rose isn't afraid of death. She lives her life like she could die any second. It's the only choice she believes she has in a world where everyone takes hers away. But when she's with Asher, she's afraid like she's never been afraid before. She feels like she could choose to set fire to the world and he would light the match. She feels like she could smile and he'd give her the world. That's what scares her the most. That he makes her want to live.
