For two years, college freshman Noah Morgan lived his life somewhere in the middle, fighting darkness and light, always searching for answers to a single question: Why, Noah, why?

A short story post Kick, Push & Coast.Told from Tommy Warden''s ten-year-old mind.

In a sprint, every millisecond counts. When you''re waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons. High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don''t kill each other. His saving grace? Lois "Laney" Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven. A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage. It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love. Eight life-changing seconds. It''s also the exact length of time it took to lose her."

One life-changing summer. One boy. The boy. The boy who offered me safe touches and heart-stopping smiles - smiles he shared with his son. We filled our days with porch-step kisses, filled our ears with laughter, filled our hearts with love. Deep, soul-aching, desperate love. But love is misleading. It''s an invisible, fleeting moment. Somewhere between false adoration and pure hatred comes an emotion, a vulnerable need, a single desire. It lives within the ones who miss it, who crave it, who know better than to expect it. Love is relentless. Even when that love turns to hate, turns to loathing, turns to pain. Love should heal you. But it can also break you. Believe me, I know... Because I''m Becca Owens - a broken girl... ...And he''s Josh Warden - the boy who broke me.

It''s said that your life flashes before your eyes when you die. It must only happen to those whose lives were worthy. Clearly, mine was not. The only thing that happened to me was a repeat of what I thought was my death. The blast of the gun as it went off. The loss of my breath as two hundred pounds of dead weight dropped on top of me. And then darkness. This replayed over and over. When the guy squatted down next to me and asked if I was hurt, the only thing I could see, feel, hear, were those few seconds. Even now, as I sat in the back of a blacked out van-it was the only thing that ran through my mind. Gunshot, breath, darkness.

There''s a single defining moment within every skater. It lasts only a second. Two if you''re good. Three if you''re really good. It''s the moment you''re in the air, your board somewhere beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you. It''s the feeling of being airborne. The sixteen-year-old version of me would''ve said it was the greatest feeling in the world. Then at seventeen, I had my son. And every single second became a defining moment. Even the ones that consisted of heartbreak when his mother left us. Seventeen. Single. Dad. That''s what my life became. Yet, every day, I managed to find that feeling of being airborne. Or at least I convinced myself I did. But I lied-to myself and to everyone around me. Until she showed up; Tanned skin, raven dark hair, and eyes the color of emeralds. You know what sucks about being in the air? Coming down from the high. Sometimes you land on the board and nail the trick. Then kick, push, and coast away. Other times you fall. You fall hard. And those are the times when it''s not as easy to get back up, dust off your pads and try again. Especially when the girl with the emerald eyes becomes your drug... And you become her poison.

"[Mikayla]: In one night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun. This is my story of friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the strength to show weakness. [Jake]: One night I met a girl. A sad and broken girl, but one more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her sadness, while I loved through her heartbreak. This is our story of a maybe ever after"--Page 4 of cover.

More Than Forever is book four in the More Than series and may be read as a standalone, though it is recommended to read in series order.Series reading order:More Than This (Book one)More Than Her (Book two)More Than Him (Book three)-LUCY-There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.A heart so strong it will never slow.There is a promise so sure it can never lie.He promised me that love forever.Even when it wasn''t enough.-CAMERON-Forever.

Please note that this is the second book in the series and should not be read prior to reading More Than This. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don''t get a choice, and all you get are the consequences. "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn''t give me the strength to walk away. It didn''t give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.
