In a quiet coastal town in New England, fifteen-year-old new girl, Bethenny Caldwell, and sixteen-year-old Bar Harbor resident, Harry Styles, become unlikely best friends; two teenagers tethered by circumstance, grief, and the quiet longing for bigger worlds beyond Seabrook Street. Over the next twenty years, they fall in and out of each other's orbits through college and moves, through heartbreaks and near misses, through the milestones that shape who we become. Every time life gives them a chance to choose each other... the timing is just slightly wrong. But they never stop returning to the town that raised them, to the memories neither can outrun, and to the version of love they only ever found in each other. Spanning from 2005 to the present, this is a story about the way people grow and break and rebuild... how grief leaves fingerprints that follow us into adulthood... and how some connections quietly survive the seasons we think will destroy them. a romance born in the wrong moment - again and again - until one day, it isn't.

They've known each other since they were eleven, inseparable best friends for as long as they can remember, but long distance and spotty behavior causes them to lose touch after graduation. When Maddie and Harry run into each other again ten years later, what happens when feelings that were pushed away begin to resurface? EXCERPT: "How about this..." He suddenly gets an idea, a bold one, but he can't help but share it. "If neither of us are married by thirty, let's get married." Obviously, she'll be married by thirty. She's perfect, and any man who's as dense as a rock could see it. Surely, someone will sweep her off her feet and put a ring on her finger in the next twelve years, it's inevitable with the type of person she is. Deep down he wants it to be him, but he wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship he's had his entire life. Maddie finds herself smiling at Harry's idea, she loves it. It won't happen though, because some girl in the future is bound to fall in love with Harry and his kind heart, and he'll be head over heels for her too. It's inevitable that someone will fall in love with his dimpled smile and caring soul, and even though Maddie already has, she wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship she's had her entire life. The age of thirty is twelve years away for them, it's too obvious that nothing will come from this harmless bet. "Deal." "Really?" Harry raises his eyebrows, amused at her response. "Really." They shake hands just as the song comes to an end and another one begins. But Harry doesn't let go of Lainey's hand, instead he catches her off guard by spinning her under his arm and dipping her.

NOT EDITED "I cannot look into those eyes, eyes that I have learned will judge you, eyes, that will make or break you, no, please no. I can't look into those eyes, because if I look you in the eye, every memory of us laughing together is erased, every memory of us cuddling within the warmth of the blankets, every memory of us staring into each other's eyes, will completely vanish. All I will see is your beautiful face that is no longer mine to admire, all I will see is the way your eyes crinkle in distaste of my presence, all I will see is how much you loathe me. I cannot look you in the eye because all I think about is how much I love you and how much wanna kiss you, I cannot look you in the eye because you do not love me like you used to and you do not want to feel my lips, I cannot look you in the eye because of how much I want to be with you, and how much I wish I had told you to stay, I want to look at you but, I cannot because all I can think about is the smile that remains no more upon your face, I want to kiss you but all I can think about is how much, you are going to laugh at me, if I did."

Note: I wrote this without proof-reading it, and I was twelve. I am completely sorry if you find this carrot-y, cringe-worthy, and grammatically incorrect--but this was written in my early One Direction obsession--it'd be nice if you bear with me. Or even better; not read this at all. Save yourself. -- It's a little funny actually. The person you don't even want to see again suddenly comes back, and even though you promised yourself multiple times that you will never accept them in your arms again, you know it's just impossible to resist. Especially when that person is your best friend, and the person you fell in love with.
