Chapter 1: 1 Dear Hayes
Chapter 1: 1 Dear Hayes
Loving someone so much you feel like you can't breathe without them. The feeling of the flutters that
beat against your tummy, as you wait to hear their voice again. The wide smile you can't shake when
you look into their eyes.
You want it to be a weakness, but truthfully, it's your superpower. Love is what keeps you grounded to
this big world. So big, yet you only need one person in your life to make it complete.
What if that one person left your life, and you thought they were never coming back?
Those flutters turn into a heavy pulse that ache. You feel cold without them, numb to this big world.
Everything feels more alive than you.
What if they suddenly returned.
The one person you love so much comes back.
Sadly, the flutters that tickle you're stomach fades. The smiles turn to tears, and cries. Why? Life Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
happens.
Life's a fucking vortex of so many up's and downs. As crazy as it is, life is still so beautiful. So is the
love of your life that returns after's years. They return, and you know something they don't.
You know a secret. You know many secrets. Too many to carry, yet they feel like they pulse in your
veins. Enough secrets to fill a still room.
These secrets are what drifted the love. These secrets are what killed, more than once.
You feel scared. You're scared to take breaths, you're afraid of the secrets you keep. You're afraid of
them escaping your veins. You're afraid of what might come out, because deep down you know,
everything that happened. Everything that will happen, will be because of you.
That's the fault in loving another, right?
Loving someone can make you so fucking happy, and make you cry at the same time. It can ruin you, if
you let it consume you. But, what if there's no other way, what if it's destined. Written in the cold air, in
the pouring rain, in the waves. What if it's meant to be, no matter what? You save each other, by
destroying one another.
Even if it's forbidden? What would you do?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.
I'm Alex Richards, a senior in high school. I live in Versa, a small town in WA. It's tucked away from the
outside world, it's on a coast, it's beautiful. So is this story, it's beautifully tragic.
You're about to dive into some serious fucking heartbreak, are you ready?
