Halgrove Hill University was supposed to be my fresh start. I was ready to put the past behind me and bury the memories and heartache of a boy I once knew.
We'd been best friends since we were six years old, a pair of misfits who saw one another when the rest of the world didn’t. For years we were inseparable, two halves of a whole soul.
But nothing is meant to last forever.
Two days before my sixteenth birthday, Austin and his family moved across the country without a warning. I didn’t think that would be that last time I ever heard from him.
Now, five years later, he’s standing in my dorm room, with his perfect crooked smile, a far cry from the boy I once knew, telling me he's also enrolled at HHU.
He’s everything I’ve always wanted, and never allowed myself to have. But now? He’s here. And I’m never letting him go.
Please This is not a happily ever after.
