· · ─ · ᡣ𐭩 synopsis: a flight back home, a stolen diary, and your brothers best friend. Suddenly your once unattainable dreams of finding ‘the one’ don’t seem so far away…until they’re ripped right out from underneath you.
.𖥔˚ The summer between freshman and sophomore year, a time usually spent drinking and pretending to find yourself in the midst of college chaos. But not for you, for you it’s spent in a chase that you weren’t sure you signed up for — with a costar that you’re not positive you can stand. A harsh fling, a loud bang, and hearts being ripped from chests alike. You were so heavenly screwed, they didn’t tell you how to deal with this dilemma in when harry met sally.
