Some Goodbyes Never Echo

High school grad night crushes Chloe’s world: her secret boyfriend Jake kisses her best friend Bella in a dare. Mocked for being quiet and overweight, Chloe hides her full-ride scholarship to Northwestern, then vanishes. A year later, a confident, transformed Chloe returns to campus. Jake, drowning in regret, chases her cross-country to beg forgiveness. But old wounds don’t fade easily—this story is about heartbreak, betrayal, and one girl’s powerful self-rebirth.
