It's been a long ride.
With all the ups and down they've had in the past year and a half, Ashley and Nathan think their relationship is stronger than ever. However, they know they are still unstable. They're each other's fatal weakness: he's afraid of her leaving, and she's afraid of loving him, so she keeps leaving him.
With 9 months left until Ashley finally graduates from college, Nathan has a lot of work to do and can't see her that much. Besides, Ashley's best friend—Roxanne Monroe—moved out with her boyfriend, so now Ashley has to deal with living alone. However, this is not a problem for her and manages to settle down pretty fast, getting a new job, even.
She thinks her past will not haunt her anymore. She thinks that her life is now perfect and nothing can bring her down. She loves Nathan, and knows that all will be fine by his side, but what happens when a very unexpected person seems to hijack her?
Her life will go down in spiral, becoming a living hell, and she will have to ask herself if she has the willingness to move on. But more important: will her love with Nathan outlast through all of the pain?
