Five years later, he's the only one I'm still dying to make.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe wasn't just my first love-he was everything. My always. My future. Then he left for Seattle, and I was left with pieces of my heart and a silence that nearly drowned me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've spent five years putting myself back together. I have Mia, my morning walks, a clinic where I save animals instead of risking my heart on people. I've built walls so high nothing can touch me. I'm safe. I'm whole. I'm fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil he comes back to Bellrose, and I realize I've been holding my breath this entire time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe boy I loved is gone, replaced by a man I don't know anymore-broader shoulders, more tattoos covering skin I used to kiss, carrying keys to a house on the cliffs that shouldn't exist. A house built from every dream I ever shared with him. Every room is an apology he doesn't deserve. Every sunrise through those windows is a promise he's trying to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe thinks he can fix what he broke. He thinks coming back is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe wants a second chance. I just want to remember why I can't give him one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZayn swears his \"always\" was real. That he's staying this time. But what scares me isn't that he'll leave again. It's that I'm already hoping he won't. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the small coastal town of Bellrose, some loves get a second chance and some hearts are braver than they think.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna J.
