Senior year had never seemed so daunting. 

After her sister died, Avery found out just how much she hid behind Riley and how comfortable it had been to live through her stories instead of living her own.

Realizing that and making a change, however, were two different things, as Avery soon understood. But life had not given her much of a choice.

Maintaining a safe distance between herself and all those who used to know Riley was her miserable attempt at dealing with the grief. But she saw her strategic plan crumble, forced to face the friends she had been pushing away.    

The year she believed she could breeze through was revealing itself to be the year she must face all the pain she had been repelling. 

And there was no one to hide behind now.

Adolescence is a complicated part of anyone's life. Juggling high school, social life, and complex emotions can be exhausting-but the most taxing part of it all is the discovery of one's identity. Amity is still trying to figure out who she is and things only become more difficult after she meets Callie. With the start of their friendship, a whole new side of Amity begins to unravel in the most painfully beautiful way. Their friendship quickly evolves into a legendary and whirlwind romance that teaches Amity the strength and passion of love. Fears of being discovered by homophobic friends and family test the strength of their relationship. But teenagers are naive and, like Amity's mental health, they fall apart, turning a passionate love into a burning heartache. As she navigates the pain, Amity must learn to cope with her internal struggles and face the parts of herself that have been hidden away for so long.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

"...I took deep breaths, as silent as I could. My cheek burned from the cut drew by her wedding ring and the blood dripped down onto the floor around my shoe...Too afraid to move, I stood still; my bloody wound could wait..." Kimberly, at the young age of 15, has already developed her natural survival instincts beyond the average ADULT capabilities. She cares for herself as well as her younger sister, Olivia and it isn't ever a walk in the park for the two girls. Did I mention she lives with alcoholic and abusive parents? Survival under the same roof as the alcoholic and short tempered couple begins to look more challenging by the day...especially after a traumatic event that makes life unbelievably worse. And each time she attempts to run, every punishment upon recapture is worst than the last...being starved and beaten becomes a norm. After failing to escape 3 times with her sister, Kimberly has now built up the confidence and is driven to plan a fourth escape. Is it worth risking not only her own life but her younger sisters life as well? Wasn't the third time meant to be "a charm"? Will the fourth be the last time? Is there life after or inevitable death? "...There's no stepping back or running from your fate..." **Updates based on reads, so share the story with your friends and COMMENT!! DO NOT STEAL, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN** -Enjoy, Adia
