The Best of Me 1-100

Dawson Cole and Amanda Collier were in love during high school, though Amanda's parents wouldn't accept it. Dawson was part of a family of criminals, and Amanda was part of a rich family who seemed to be perfect. Amanda's parents would try to ground her and keep her away from Dawson, but he was different. Dawson was smart and wouldn't do anything to harm anybody. After graduation, Dawson told Amanda that she needed to go to college at Duke, so that was the end of them. Dawson now lives in Louisiana by himself and works on the oil rig there. He keeps to himself and often thinks what his life would have been like if he would have stayed with Amanda. Amanda is married and has three children. Her father had died about five years earlier, so all she had left was her mother. Tuck, the person Dawson always went to during high school, died, and both Dawson and Amanda came back for his funeral. They met up at Tuck's house and they couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. They loved spending time with each other and talking about their past. Amanda always thought about her husband, Frank's drinking problem. She's thought about leaving him, but then again she wouldn't be honoring the martial vows. Thought she loves her kids dearly, she still loves Dawson. She doesn't know whether she should mention Frank to Dawson or not. Amanda's mother only cares about what other people think of her and her daughter. She feels that since she is rich, that she is better and more important than everyone. Dawson, on the other hand, kind of has a different problem. Abee and Ted are cousins of Dawson. Abee is trying to keep Ted out of trouble and better yet, jail. Since Dawson beat his dad and Ted up, Ted has been wanting revenge. Ted thinks he will get revenge before Dawson leaves Oriental.
