Keeping the Years

They say youth is about running wild, then taking a spectacular fall. Along the long river of life, some people will always stay by our side. And some will quietly fade from our world. "A Jiu, you can't save everyone." -- If there's a shadow before you, it's because the sun is behind you. Turn around, have no regrets, and embrace them. Wait for the years to turn. [Modern setting. I want to write about an ordinary yet brilliant youth. Well, I'll add this too: This story is entirely fictional.]
