Senior year. Everyone has their life going. Plans are being laid out for their future. 

There is Mitchelle Kim or popularly known for her stage name Sunny, the school band's female vocalist. Beautiful, talented and kind. A ray of sunshine. She has her life all planned out, her 3 year-relationship going steady to the handsome and intelligent band's male vocalist Jackson Choi aka Jack. Lucky for them, they are aiming for the same thing. What more could she ask for? Right? 

Together with them is Breana Jung, the drummer. No one would have thought her to be the cute, shy, intelligent and lovely type once she's holding the sticks and whipping it on stage. Sure she can perform on stage but self-assurance and confidence is what keeps her from being in the spotlight. Afraid of getting hurt again, she keeps her circle small and her feelings always in check. She likes to keep her thoughts to herself. Will she ever open up? 

Unlike her, Maria Han or Ari, Sunny's bestfriend is outgoing and bares it all. She wouldn't be told to do things just to fit in and she never much cared about what most people think of her. She's energetic, sassy, popular and 'in'. After all, she's the cheerleader in the cheering squad for the school basketball team. But until when? 

Everything is pretty normal until it wasn't anymore. 

Cause there's Alexandria Song or Alex, the interesting and charming transfer student. A painful memory from Breana's past that will force her to confront her issues which will lead her to Ari. Alex - the person who'll be turning Sunny's life into more than just one season. But just like every person Alex has her own problems she chose to run away from. How long would it be until it catches up to her?

Read how the threads of connections between these four women unravels. Friendship, love, forgiveness, acceptance, betrayal, lies, secrets, hate, what feelings would overcome?

Four by Forever

“Why did you agree to this? You didn’t have to come if you really don’t want to?” Breana asks. 


They are walking for a while now. It was dark, only the light coming from a few streetlights and houses giving them illuminating their paths. 


Alex hummed, pondering what her answer would be. 


“Did you feel empathy or pity towards me, because as you say, we both love people who don’t feel the same towards us? Be honest, Alex.” She suggested. It was true after all; they keep pining for people they can’t seem to have. 


“No. I owe it to you. Closure. If this is what it’s going to give you that then I will. Also, as you have said, I needed this to take my mind off of some things and it did. Thank you for that. Did you enjoy today?” Alex tilted her head to the side to look at Breana. 


“Of course, I enjoyed every moment. So, this is what it feels like.” Breana smiled. “This will be the last though… 


…Do you want to know who confessed to me?” She continued after. 


“Hmm…okay. So that I can beat the shit out of them if I’d know they’re just fooling around with you or even if they try to hurt you. Who is it?” 


Bree laughed at her. She always finds Alex’ antics funny but she knows she is being truthful and protective of her as a dear friend. 


“Like you would. I guess you would cower at the sight of her alone if it comes to that. It’s Ari.” She looked over to her friend to catch her reaction. 


“The cheerleader?” Alex asked bewildered. 


“Yup, the one and only.” Bree confirmed. 


Breana stopped in her tracks. “I like her for sure but…you know, if you didn’t come back, I would have like her back faster but I guess if you didn’t come back I wouldn’t even have had the chance to know her.” 


Alex nods. “So you haven’t feel that much yet for her” She stopped walking as well. 


“Yes, not as much as I feel or felt about you.” Bree agrees as she continues walking. The taller woman caught up after, matching their pace as she takes smaller steps. 


“Perhaps not yet but tomorrow might change things. What do you plan on doing about that?” 


“Let things play out as it should. I like her but I don’t want to lead her on, not until I’m over with you, you li’l shit.” I stick my tongue out, teasing her like a kid. 


“Now that’s the spirit. Bree, you should now, you deserve happiness and I’m glad people starts seeing you the way you really are and how amazing you are.” She looked at her friend lovingly. 


“Come to school tomorrow? Talk to Sunny.” Breana said as they stopped walking now. Finally, they reached the front of her house. 


The moon glowed brightly in the star –speckled night sky now. They stared at each other, waiting for the last word to be said. Bree leaned closer. She tiptoed and gave a quick peck on the edge of Alex’ lips. 


Before the taller woman could react Bree runs home, not after saying a quick ‘good night’ to her date. 


There were two last things Bree learned after that night. First, the feeling of kissing Alex. It lingers on her lips despite how hastily it happened. Second and last, NO. Knowing when things will end doesn’t prepare you for when it actually comes, but you have to. Bree knows she have to, and she does. 


A hooded figure looms in the dark. The person can't be seen but sees everything that happened that day. Waiting for the next step. 


P.S. How's the story so far? Stay safe lovelies.
