Julia Morias is struggling with a lot of internal conflict after breaking up from a toxic relationship. After letting the relationship go, all she is left with is a watch her ex gifted. Is the broken wrist watch really what she thinks it is: a good luck charm? Or just an excuse to hold on to things that she doesn't want to accept? 

While struggling to survive the war within herself, fighting to move on from her past, things turn towards a different direction for her, when a new neighbour moves in. 

But that's not all. The real reason which makes her confused, is the  similarities. The similarities between this new man, and the boy  from her childhood, the boy she holds close to her heart, the boy who once helped her survive one of the toughest wars of her life when she was just 8. The similarities between the man and her childhood friend, who left just after a few months of when they met, leaving her with just a note he wrote and something (mentioned later in the story) which belonged to him.  

Will she be able to let go of her trauma and her toxic relationship? Or will she hold on to that broken wrist watch? Will she keep looking back or will she choose to move forward, in a direction of love and light? 
And what role will this new man (neighbour)  play in her decision?
___________________________________________

This book was a writing prompt turned into a short romance. I didn't actually plan on writing this, as all my attention was reserved for my debut dark romance novel, which will be out by the end of next year. 
But, I couldn't resist and wrote it as it was too cute to ignore. 
If you choose to go through this short journey of Julia, I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading.

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
