Chapter 1: Prologue
The world seemed to blur as Lily Rivera stood on the edge of the rooftop, gazing down at the bustling city below. Her heart was broken, her spirit fractured by years of unrequited love. Noah Callahan—her best friend, her first love—was getting married. To someone else.
She had given him everything—her heart, her dreams, her very soul. But it was never enough. As she stood there, her mind replaying their story, the promises they'd made as children, her vision blurred with tears. She wished for a life where Noah wasn't the center of her world, where she could move on and live for herself.
The wind whispered in her ear, as if mocking her pain.
"Please," she whispered. "Just… let me forget him. Let me find my way back."
And then, the world tilted, her heart stopped, and she fell into darkness.
When Lily awoke, it wasn't to the cold rooftop she'd left behind—it was her childhood bedroom, the walls decorated with posters and memories of a life she thought she had lost forever. Her hands trembled as she looked in the mirror. Sixteen again. Her wish had come true.
With a quiet breath, Lily stood tall, the pieces of her broken heart slowly falling into place.
This time, she would live for herself. No more Noah. No more heartbreak. Only second chances and the pursuit of her own happiness
