Ashley

I’ve given up. On my childish dreams.

On getting out of this town. On love. On him.

On everything.

I’m barely treading water.

Brayden

I’m the man with it all.

The pinstriped jersey covering my back garners easy cash, flashy cars and fast women. My gilded name drapes over the city in neon. I have everything. Everything, except the thing I crave most. Ashley Foster.

There’s one addiction I never tried to beat.

They say you can never go home again. I’m out to prove them wrong. But what if returning requires facing all the things you destroyed? To what lengths would you go to earn forgiveness?

Would you beg? Would you borrow? Would you steal?

Stealing home is the riskiest move in baseball. But the reward... If it works? Winning her back is a chance I’m finally ready to take.

My pockets are filled with stars.

It’s time to follow them home.

This time, I don’t want to steal her firsts,

I want to lay claim on all her lasts.

"When you’re hurt, sometimes it’s best to dress your own wounds and clean yourself up, before you reach a hand back and help the guy who fell beside you.”

Brayden comes home while he rehabilitates his injury. His return isn't welcomed by all. For some, it only reignites memories and rekindles the betrayal. The golden boy seems to have it all. A flashy car, sexy women, more money than god. From the outside, it seems he left those he broke behind to glue themselves back together while he picked up his pieces and built the dream. But window dressing is just that ~ dressing ~ designed to trick the onlooker.

"When you feel lost, don't be afraid to wander" - Mrs. F

They couldn't go back, not really. They had to start over. To many wounds had been left untreated. Sure over the years the wounds had scarred over but none, it seemed, had truly healed.

I think in a way Ash new that, but Brayden ever stubborn still lassoing in the stars had other plans. But it seemed for every plan Brayden set in motion he was tossed a curve.

It's okay sometimes to forge a new path if the original one becomes inhibited.

"If life doesn't give you a silver lining, that doesn't mean you can't stitch your own" ~

So many secrets. It is human nature to rerun the scenarios ~ All the what-ifs that we justify as could or should have been(s).

Our loving Ash has shouldered the guilt for years. She is all that is left standing at this time, only barley, to keep it all together. Her world is on the verge of implosion and she is desperately seeking a way to stop the inevitable. But darn if our girl still isn't stubborn as all get.

Brayden has always had a plan. He came back intending to make right all the wrongs. He may be too late.

Nathan... His world stopped that night. The laughing carefree boy we knew has become a resentful and angry young man. Angry enough to twist the truth and feed the guilt.

I hope we get Nathan's story and Matt's and...

I don't want to say goodbye
