What Could Have Been

By Stephanie Bridges

Charlotte O'Connor counts the minutes until she graduates high school and goes off to college. She can't take being around her mother anymore, even if that means she has to leave her dad behind. Her plan for college is her mantra to surviving one more year at home.
The summer before her senior year, a new family moves in next door. She doesn't care for them until she meets their son, Javier. They're the same age, and they end up growing close. When a relationship blooms between Charlotte and Javier, Charlotte is forced to face the plan she has lived by for so long. Does her plan for the future have a place for Javier, or will he be left behind too?
What Could Have Been tells a story of young love, family, and paths not taken. When all we have left are our memories and the choices that made them, the thoughts of what could have been become what haunts us most.
