A few months have gone by and Raleigh and Josh had settled into their schooling at opposite ends of the country. They knew a relationship wouldn't work if they hadn't had time to spend together before leaving Tennessee, so they agreed to just be friends for the time being. At NYU, Josh was studying as hard as he could, while Raleigh was doing what she loved. She made many new friends in her first few weeks at the Hollywood Academy of Music and was having a blast. The bad thing being, with every college student came the partying, drugs, and procrastination. Raleigh was no exception.

After getting a surprise visit from the people she cares about most, will she clean up and become the respectful Raleigh Coons she had always been? Or will the music industry continue to envelope her until she doesn't know who that person is anymore? Follow the twists and turns of a troubled college student and the fight to remember who she used to be before the pressure to fit in. Will love be strong enough to prevail this time? Or will Raleigh finally crush Josh to the point where it just isn't enough anymore?

This is deffinitely the longest and darkest chapter of the story. I don't want to give anything away, but if you don't handle, we'll say "man-handling" well, you probably should skip over some of this one.
