In Honor

Honor had been growing up as an orphan since very little. In this world, there were only her and her big brother, Finn. Of course there was Aunt Gina who took care of the siblings. But to Honor, Finn was her everything. Finn had always protected her. Always made sure that Honor was happy and had her needs fulfilled.

It all changed after Finn graduated high school and suddenly changed his plan from college to army. Without asking Honor's opinion, he left his college football scholarship and went to Iraq. And he died.

After Finn's funeral, Honor found a handwritten letter from Finn to her. It was the only letter he handwrote. Along with the letter, he also gave Honor a Kyra Kelley's concert ticket in California with a message to Honor to tell Kyra Kelley about her handsome brother. Honor took her brother's letter seriously as it was his final order to her so that Honor decided to skip her first week at college and to go to California to fulfill Finn's final wish.

Rusty was Finn's former best friend. Together, they were invincible in football. Their friendship broke when Finn decided to give up his scholarship and joined the army. Rusty took Finn's death by drinking and drinking and drinking and somehow he ended up in Honor's car that morning, joining the road trip to fulfill Finn's final wish.

Getting along with Rusty was not an easy thing. Although his bad boy aura made most of the girls easily fell for him, not with Honor. Honor hated Rusty because he didn't stop Finn from joining army. Honor hated Rusty because he'd given up his friendship with Finn. But Honor didn't know the side of Rusty's story, and that Rusty actually had all the answers to the questions Honor had been wanting to ask Finn.
