To Live Again Melody Dawn

Chloe-Three years ago, I was gifted a second chance to live, and I struggle with the responsibility of that gift every single day. Everyone thinks my life is perfect, but looks can be deceiving. I should know - I've become adept at living a lie. The past I tried to put behind me follows me like a dark shadow, and whatever I do, I cannot escape. Drowning in guilt, I'm dying to live again, but can't seem to find my way out of the storm and into the sun. My life ended on the day it was supposed to begin. At least no one here knows. Maybe if I lie loudly enough, I can convince myself I'm as fine as everyone else thinks I am. Jayson-My life has been moving along exactly as I planned. I'm on the path I'm destined for, and nothing is going to distract me. Then Chloe Schaeffer blew into my life like a breath of fresh air, trying to steal my favorite seat in our shared class. She's everything I never believed was possible. The way I feel about her defies what my brain dictates, but she's hiding something. There's a darkness clouding her. She thinks I don't see it, but I do, and the part of me that longs to treat the wounds of the world aches to heal her. Maybe if I can, she'll fall in love with me. Can I convince her to let me help her live again? Or will she continue to die a little more each day, killing my heart in the process?
