Callie's dad, Mike Scarlet, has been best friends with Paul Ross, ever since the third grade. They grew up in Tennessee as practically brothers! Paul has a 17 year old son, Shane, and a 13 year old daughter, Caroline. Over the summer, Shane's family comes to visit Callie's out in California all the way from Tennessee. When Callie meets Shane, she is attracted to him by his sense of humor, good looks, and how amazingly nice he is.
Every single summer, the Scarlet family goes out to Tennessee to spend a couple of weeks in their parents hometown. This summer was no different. When they visit, they'll obviously hang out with family and old friends that they only get to see once a year, but when Callie meets Dustin, Shane's 17 year old cousin, she finds herself falling head over heels for this perfect highschooler that seems to pay way more attention to her than his cousin...
But is this really "the boy of her dreams"? Or is Dustin just trying to "take Callie away from Shane"? Maybe he'll learn to share... Or just leave Callie in a broken-hearted mess for the rest of -what seems like forever... Hope you enjoy!(:

"What's so hard about just listening to what I have to say?" I plead.
"I know that you would definitely be my forever but now it seems to be all just a lie," he yells, tears beginning to fall.
I bite my lip to contain mine because I know once the floodgates open, I'm a goner.
"So I just need time to think because," his voice cracks on the rest of his words "because this hurts and it hurts so damn much."

Callie is just your average teen struggling with more problems than she knows. Forming new friendships and bonds through her junior year of high school she begins to see light friends bring. Her friendship with her longtime best friend Sam will be put to the test. Will it prosper into something more or will it fail and become one more problem for her to deal with. Will the obstacles of time, loyalty, and patience get in the way?
