"....and yes, you should fight for love and risk your heart for people who may not be able to contain your love. But, if your heart shatters, I hope it is not 'love' that you accuse; I hope it is not 'love' that you give up on. Because there is nothing more beautiful than a heart that breaks and still chooses to fight for love."

Flynn spent the rest of the day in detention and it was not until the next day at French class when Kelsey finally saw the intriguing rich boy again—unsurprisingly taking the seat next to her. No, it was not

That stagnant moment where your eyes refused to open even when your mind knew it was time to wake up?Flynn felt like that whenever he was with Kelsey. As if it was a

But I wonder, why couldn't I burn the boats?” ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ It was not until the play was finished and the curtain was drawn, the cheer erupted in the school's indoor basketball court — which was used for assembly. Kelsey, ignoring the fact that she needed to get out of this fancy rental dress and hand it back to Laura before she accidentally messed it up, went looking for Flynn. She had to talk to him. About what? She had no clue but maybe she could start with reminding him about her previous request that he wasn't supposed to kiss her without her permission. Hiked her insufferable dress up so she could run faster, Kelsey went to the dressing room and found him about to take off his mask. She waited by the doo

Love is all the little things they do to make you feel an emotion that makes your heart churn with ecstasy. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ It was a great day overall. Kelsey had not heard anyone whispering the whole day or maybe it was her good mood and the fact that she'd spent the day catching up with Bryson and then played LOL at Flynn's house
C H A P T E R 1 5 : W H E N S H E R E A L I Z E S The strange thing about love is that after some time it makes your heart too tired to feel anything else. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Two months later, When you were unhappy, it seemed that time went slower, enjoying its torture in dreading you with your situation.

After she had cried her heart out and puked twice, she fell asleep in his arms in the backseat. He hadn't wanted to leave but he knew the teache

When actually it is the feeling of love that they love. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ It was around seven in the evening and everyone was already in their respective bedroom when Flynn knocked on Kelsey’s door. “Hey, open up. I need your help,” he said with urgency in his voice. Kelsey stared at the door. She would actually open the door and

There was a short queue for the toilet, so it looked like it would take him a while. It did not matter as they weren't in a rush.They were standing at a distance from other people. The evening wind gently blew on them, and although it was a bit cold, they were dressed warmly enough that it became comfortable. Kelsey raised her hand to tuck her hair, which was blown by the wind until it became messy, behind her ears as she listened to Flynn's rant.Leaning on the railing, Flynn was still complainin

Hope that you face your obstacles with courage and ruthlessness. Believe, that in every chance you get, you will grow into becoming the hero of your own life." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kelsey woke up with a banging headache. She groaned at the sound of her phone ringing, enough to make Sabine who had just gotten out of the bathroom throw a pillow at her. “Shut the fuck up!” yelled her roommate, sounding annoyed. “I am sorry,” muttered Kelsey as she forced herself to wake up and sit on the bed. “What time is

You see the flakes falling but you do not realize how they are adding up. Then suddenly, your whole lawn is covered. All these little things have added up and you are my snowstorm. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kelsey could only tell that they had arrived in the hotel’s lobby when she had heard him saying with a sigh, “If only this was not a school trip and I do not have to wake you up. You have been through a lot, Luv.” There were a few minutes of silence before she heard his side of the door was being opened from outside and one of the hotel staff greeting them. “Ravi de vous revoir, Monsieur.” - “Good evening, Sir, and welcome back.” Flynn shushed him immediately. “Ne voyez-vous pa
C H A P T E R 1 9 : T H E L O V E O F M Y L I F E A word of advice, never blame love. Sometimes we fail to love someone or maybe it is the other way round. But love never fails us. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The second they both entered the house, jazz music filled the entire room and Kelsey could not help but think that this was a fancy party, one she had never been into before. “Does the party have a certain theme that I do not know about?” She asked, turning to Flynn with raised eyebrows. “Because as a friend who dragged me into this, you should not leave out such an important detail.”
