"I love it when you beg," laughed Vincent as he dragged Riley to her bedroom. Shoving her into the bedroom he closed the door behind him, turning the lock. "How long do I have?" asked Vincent as he sauntered up to Riley who backed herself against the wall. "Not long, Jason will be back any minute now," lied Riley, her heart beating hard in her chest. Vincent placed his arms on either side of Riley's body, trapping her in while dipping his head to her eye level. "I think my little birdy is lying to me," he smirked. "Now tell me, how long do I have," he asked again, pulling out a knife from his pocket and sliding it up Riley's back underneath her hoodie. He pressed the knife into the flesh of her back and started to press down, cutting slowly into her skin. "Tell me," he repeated. "Thr..ee h..hours," sobbed out Riley. // WARNING: This story contains themes of self harm, rape and violence.

Life for her was perfect. She had best friends who were there for her, she had a loving family (sort of), and was well-liked. She had everything rolling for her at 15. Well, that's what she thought. Notice those past tenses used? Yeah, they mean something. Until a certain incident happened in 9th grade, she changed. She gained enemies, and her health decreased. Her self-worth lowered with each passing day. She was broken, angry, and with so many emotions bottled up, mean. Her parents moved her back across town, and she changed again. She went back to being nice; her normal self. But two things stuck with her: her health, and her nightmares that she wouldn't ever be able to escape. Then... Her mother got a promotion, and thus, had to move across the country. See, she was on-call 24/7 and hardly in state, as was her husband. What was she supposed to do with her teenager who can't exactly live alone? Well, you send her away of course. *** 16 year old Brooklyn May is sent to go live with her parent's old friends when they get an offer they can't pass up in New York. That wouldn't be such a big deal for her, but, it's the biggest deal when she's not only moving out of the state, she's moving to another country. So, she's got to say goodbye to her friends, life, and the nice beaches that lay in Los Angeles and move to Canada. To make matters worse, she's not just moving in with strangers, she's moving in with a family made up of boys. The hottest and baddest boys at school, the Canadian Rebel Boys (or Brothers). At least that's what her new school calls them. Not only does she have to survive her Junior year and the years to come, she has to learn to tolerate being with boys; not just herself and her friends back home. Making new friends and enemies along the way, Brooklyn struggles her way through high school with a bunch of perverts, snobby girls, drama, and maybe, just maybe, finds a way to live with the boys and possibly find love while doing so.
