Prologue:
She came into my life again, five years too late, as if nothing happened between us. The sound of her voice that night… It was enough to drive me crazy. I was forced to acknowledge the ache I'd been ignoring for so long. And now, knowing that she is in the same town as me is slowly killing me.
Brooke. Cheery. Pretty Girl. The one who broke my heart.
She is so much to me, and she doesn't even know it. Does she know that for the first year she was gone, I couldn't think about anything else but her? Does she know that it was a challenge to make sure I never called Peyton by the wrong name? Does she know that I'd lay awake at night, with my girlfriend beside me, searching the photographs of us together to try and make some sense of the situation?
I wanted to follow her, to take her into my arms again and tell her how much I loved her. But I couldn't. I was too afraid. But what am I to do now? Pretend that I don't care about her?
