"And I wish I could have loved him less. Or better yet, not at all."

19 year old Adalanna Callister, bold, beautiful and brainy, is all set for her term in St. Stephen's University of Liverpool. 
And the first day in her new college itself, seals her fate for a rollercoaster year ahead. 

Through galas, bonfires and games, Alanna is pulled in deeper and deeper to the only feeling she had been wanting to avoid, the half of which she fears and the rest, fails to understand. 

Ripped apart between two friends, one a raging fire, other a deep ocean, Alanna grapples with her affections, all the while redeeming her own self from a tainted past. 

One, the kind you keep. Stability. Who would never break her heart. 

And the other, the kind you love. Danger. Without whom, there'd be no heart to break in the first place. 

Amidst love, friendship, music and betrayal, she has to make a choice, between the solace of a right love and the passion of a great love.  

This year, ask yourself- 
Love, the quicksand of raging passions- 
eternal bliss or inevitable doom? 

At the very least, she's in for an eventful year. 

"But you'll hate me." "I love you."
Everything made sense.

Choices

Zach smiles sadly, ever so small and I feel like strangling him, and throwing him off a building and then smash my face in his chest and hug the hell life out of him. 


It feels better. Just being around him, feels better. Being happy is so effortless around him. 


My head turns so hyperactive, I’m angry, confused, happy, safe- I’ve gone mental. 


“Can you stand?” He asks me hushed and I nod. I stand up and he holds me, firm and close. He helps me to the bed and lowers me onto it. 


He props himself on one knee as he rests my head slowly, which still throbs achingly and reaches across to settle my pillow. 


His mint cologne and the signature Zach fragrance spreads all over me and I feel a strange electricity building. He looks back at my face, holding it softly against one his palms. 


“You came.” I whisper to myself, trying to believe it, after all that happened between us. 


Zach left, but then he came. He is here, with me. It’s all fine. He didn’t, leave me.
