"Believe ruthlessly in the way you grow into the life you lead. Figure out the parts to who you are at every detour that life sets you on. 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

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.

When someone left without saying goodbye, they left you with unsettling emotion in the pit of your stomach, causing you to wake up in the middle of the night wondering why they had chosen to leave. When someone left without saying goodbye, they made you question yourself of what you had done that sent them away. When someone left you without a word, your heart is never the same. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ It was around two in the morning and everyone in the neighborhood was already asleep. Everyone but Kelsey Ferreira. Her eyes were wide awake, staring at the ceiling as her forefinger was tapping against the edge of her bed rhythmically, in time with the rain outside beating against the window. “It will be all right,” she told herself repeatedly while trying to control her labored breathing. Maybe if she had said it enough times, it would be true. Kelsey shut her eyes in agon
C H A P T E R 2 : A S H E R W O R L D C R U M B L E S You do not know what heartbreak is until you look at yourself in the mirror with tears welling up in your eyes, seeing your reflection as a disappointment because they left you for things they thought were worth it. Trust me there is nothing beautiful about aching from the insides. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kelsey Leah Ferreira always knew that she was not the prettiest crayon in the box. If she had to pick one color to define her, she would go with either gray or brown. Not something that would stand out or catch people’s attention. Definitely, it would no
C H A P T E R 3 : T H E S H O W M U S T G O O N Some people survive the chaos and that is how they grow, but some people thrive in chaos because chaos is all they know. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kelsey knew the second she stepped into the History class in the third period that the rumor about what had happened last night had traveled the entire school. No one in Northern High who did not know what had happened last night at Mitch Hammer’s party. It was hard not to notice when the whole class grouped around Jennifer's table, listening to her every word. Jen was not a Regina George type, she was more of a Gretch
C H A P T E R 4 : W H E N A T O R N A D O M E E T S A V O L C A N O You promised me the light of hopes and sunshine rays, with a better looking future where we can both stay. But now, you too, sit here in my darkness, waiting for it to pass away. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ That girl smiled triumphantly and although she was currently threatening him and Flynn hated it, he wondered if she was still the same girl who had broken down in tears in Mitch Hammer's backyard last night. Because standing right there with her arms folded in front of her chest, she was every defin
C H A P T E R 5 : S C A R S T O Y O U R B E A U T I F U L The way you left, scarred my heart brutally.And I do not know how writers do this, because it is anything but poetic. There is nothing poetic about the way your absence taunts my lonely heart. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The next day, Kelsey could hardly believe her own eyes as she watched him walking towards her table at the back of the classroom. It was French class in the last period and unlike the other classrooms, Ms. Josephine had chosen what used to be a Biology class as her second home. She had said that the long table for two would make it easier when they needed a partner to practice
C H A P T E R 6 : W H E N I T H I T S H A R D I am just a human, trying to look for fleeting moments of temporary happiness in this endless void of sorrow and solitude. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ It was raining by the time Kelsey was making her way home. The front porch was dark, no light was lit, giving an eerie feeling to the already bleak-looking building. She unlocked the front door and entered, trying her best not to bring the mud into the house because the floors were hard to scrub. The usual silence greeted her home. It seemed that her dad was still at the construction site where he worked. She too was suppos

C H A P T E R 2 0 : T H E T R I C K Y P A R T A B O U T M O V I N G O N It is crazy because I do not even know when you became so important to me. It is like watching a snowstorn. 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.”
C H A P T E R 1 8 : A S T H E D U S T S E T T L E S Yesterday as I came down the road of love. I found lovers. Lovers with broken hearts. Strong enough to hold on. Hold on to the one they think they love. 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
C H A P T E R 1 7 : A S T H E D U S T S E T T L E S I have finally accepted — some people come into your life just so that you can watch them leave. I have finally accepted that he had to leave. I have finally accepted that some things just end abruptly and maybe that is the beauty of it. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Flynn glanced at the girl sleeping peacefully at the back of his car with tear stained on her cheeks from the rearview mirror. 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
C H A P T E R 1 6 : T H E T H I N G A B O U T R E G R E T Forgiveness is the softness of the spirit, a gentle nature, the openness of the soul, and humility—for it is because of forgiveness that you are emancipated from the shackles of the past, your soul is lit with purity and your heart becomes strong. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Flynn Ascott looked at the file in his hand with fiery determination in his eyes. Despite its content being something unrelated to him, he would keep it with him until he had the chance to pass it to Kelsey. Kelsey Leah Ferreira. If someone had asked him seven months ago who she was, she would not have known. Their school was not that big but they ran in different social groups. Both rarely went to parties and when they
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. Every second felt longer, and ten minutes felt like an hour. On the contrary, it was really strange and amusing how quickly time flew by when you were happy. It felt

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
