Hailey Summers. I knew she was gonna be a problem for me the second my eyes fell on her in the school hall way that day. I didn't know anything about her, I didn't even know she existed, but I knew that I had to get to know her, which was a big problem for me. I'm about to turn eighteen in a week, and coming from an Italian family, a mafia family, that's a big deal. It meant that i was finally old enough to take over the family business, over my father's kingdom. It came with great power and responsibilities, there was absolutely no room for weaknesses. Little did I know was that Hailey would be my down fall. I fell in love with her when I shouldn't have. She was so pure and innocent, a person like me would only destruct her. I was a monster. I couldn't drag her into this life, but I also couldn't let her go. I wish things could be different, I wish that I could be different, but this is my life, this is what I was born to do, and I will do anything for her. She is my weakness. ---------- Isaac Matteo and Hailey Summers come from two opposite different worlds, up until they cross each other's paths one day at school.

He turns her world completely upside down, going from quiet, calm, and even boring as she would like to say, to adventurous and thrilling. Isaac shows her a whole new different world, bringing all sorts of new changes into her life, new problems even, his problems.. But can Hailey really handle Isaac's world?

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe I'm just Taz. A girl who is finding new things, struggling through painful things, figuring out puzzles. I always fall, cry, bump, and bruise myself. Welcome to my story. It's not pretty, it's not beautiful. It's rather funny looking, don't you think? Go on laugh. I know you want to. After all I'm just a silly little girl in high school, one in 7 billion. A silly little girl with a silly little diary. Read on if you'd like to read the silly girl's diary. My diary.
