I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/iWTMRlu For Alex, life seems perfect. He's built a steady career, nurtured a close bond with his younger brother, Josh, and found what he believes to be true love with Emma. Together, they form an inseparable trio of laughter, loyalty, and shared memories. But beneath the surface of Alex's seemingly ideal world lies a dark truth he's never imagined. One impulsive decision-to come home early, brimming with excitement to surprise Emma-shatters his life in an instant, exposing an unimaginable betrayal that leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew. As Alex stumbles upon Emma and Josh entwined in the betrayal, they offer him a chilling invitation: to join them. Frozen in shock, he feels his reality slip away, each past interaction with his brother and girlfriend now colored by suspicion and deceit. Retreating into a spiral of doubt, Alex revisits every laugh, every touch, and every lingering glance, realizing he's ignored countless signs of their betrayal. Seeking solace, Alex turns to his best friend, Clara, who helps him navigate the haunting aftermath and face his own vulnerability. But when an old rivalry and hidden family secrets come to light, Alex realizes he was not merely a victim of his loved ones' choices. Years of simmering jealousy, familial favoritism, and emotional avoidance rise to the surface, pushing Alex to examine how he allowed illusions to dictate his happiness. As Alex begins to rebuild himself, he stumbles upon a final, shocking revelation: Emma never loved Josh either. Her affair with him was a calculated act, designed to "free" Alex from the lie he'd been living. Stripped bare of the illusions that once comforted him, Alex is left to confront his own worth and face the uncomfortable truth-he's spent years bound by a false sense of security, ignoring his inner voice.
