PROLOGUE

"I'm sorry Pete, maybe we have to cancel out dinner plans tonight, there is an important meeting and I can't miss it, maybe next time okay. lock the door before you go to bed. love you"

I sigh 'happens every time' I slip my phone back in my pocket

"why the long face?" asked my best friend Hunter

I give him a small smile and he frowns and I tell about my mom's text

"again?" he asks looking pitiful

"yeah" I say in a small voice

he puts his arm around me " you can always stay at my place. my mom loves you more than me anyways " he rolled his eyes and I chuckled

"thanks but I need to be with polo tonight" I make an excuse

he grins "you and your damn dog" he chuckles

polo is a golden retriever and is about 2 years old, I had him when my doctor suggested that I shouldn't be spending time alone.

we take our regular bus to go home because I don't know how to drive a car. and Hunter just crashed his new XUV on his neighbors wall which also got him grounded.

Pete Night is my name, I know not very interesting. I'm 17 years old, senior in high school. I look Asian but was born and raised in America, my height is average of 5.9 inches. I'm not a nerd neither a popular but lets just say that I survive the day.

(A/N: this is how i have imagined Pete looks like but you can always choose to imagine someone else)

my mom raised me and I've never seen my dad. don't know how he looks or if he is still alive. every time I ask about him my mom avoids the question or changes the subject. after a lot of attempts I gave up, that woman is a hard shell to crack

Hunter Steen is my childhood friend we do everything together. he is 100% American totally opposite than me, he is as tall as me, fair skin, Brown eyes, blonde hair, average looking body and a total nerd, he literary went crazy when he scored 98 in chemistry and not a 100. that guy is a little extra, but my best bud. but the way we met was totally crazy.

(A/N: this is how i have imagined Hunter looks like but you can always choose to imagine someone else)

we were in preschool, playing in the school playground. I spotted a blonde kid under a slide digging something in the dirt. I watched him silently, observing his strange behavior, and than all of the sudden he started chocking, I ran to wards him and patted his back. do you know he liked a worm so bad that he ate it? like seriously!

thank God! he doesn't like my dog.

well that's how we met. and maybe that little stupid accident made him stick to me like glue, cause nobody else wants to be friends with a crazy weird worm-eater and an awkward Asian guy.

but there will always be something missing and that is presence of someone to hold on to, someone to rely on, someone to talk to without thinking of consequences, someone to lean on, someone that not will leave me and will always love me no matter what.

depressing I know, but happens to one when he has to spend his birthday alone for almost 6 years in a row. you got it right, it's my birthday tonight and I'm gonna spend it with polo. my golden retriever like always.

I really don't want to spent it alone this year, beggars can't be choosers right?

When Love Turns to Ash

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
