Lies Left Unsaid by B_Ander

"The fact that I was murdered didn't come as a surprise; it was the fact that it hadn't happened sooner which shocked me." High school senior, Caitlyn Coates, has everything going for her; she's beautiful, brilliant and rich. With just a month until graduation, and her acceptance to Yale confirmed, she should be celebrating, but that's a little hard to do, seeing as how she's...dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's most popular student is her pinky finger, a clump of hair and a red silk thong. The disappearance of the wealthy teen girl with the bright future has sent shock waves through Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. It's up to hard-headed police force veteran, Detective Brandon, to unravel the truth. But in a town where everyone has a secret to keep and a motive for murder, solving Caitlyn's case will be filled with challenges, including a new rookie partner and the constant media attention due to the nation's obsession over all the morbid details surrounding Caitlyn's demise.

It appears, in Highland Park, the truth is seldom what it seems.

But when one of the "dead" washes up in California, alive, with no memory of what happened the cracks in their perfect lie begin to show. Now, the four survivors must come together and rewrite the past before the truth destroys them. Because in a town built on money, power, and privilege, even murder can be bought and buried... but not forever.

Her best friend, Will, is certain it has to do with the guy she just started dating. Is Will jealous? Could her new boyfriend be involved? Or is it someone else entirely? Annie must find out quickly because every day could be her last. *** I could feel nothing but the pain. I felt every hit in excruciating detail with each erratic, painful heartbeat as my world became reduced to a series of agony. I struggled to breath through the broken ribs that constricted my airflow like a two-ton concrete slab had fallen on me. The blood from the blows to my head rolled down my face in waves. My arm was twisted at an impossible angle, yet I couldn't scream because my mouth would not open. I could feel the kicks coming at me from all directions, and as I received another one to the head I knew this was the end for me and my heartbeat slowed. The stab wound was bleeding too much for me to survive. When they left me for dead my eyes began to droop and the last thing I saw through fuzzy tunnel-like sight was a man running towards me before one final rattling breath coursed through my broken body and my heart stopped beating.

"But you best believe that I will break you. SInce you want to keep me here against my will, I'll make you regret agreeing to marry me." His eyebrows rose, clearly surprised by my response.
