❝His name was Jasper; the boy who saved me from myself.❞ __________________________________________________________ Aria Davidson and Jasper Ross were complete strangers, until they crossed paths one fateful night. The only thing the two had in common was that they were both claimed as outcasts. Aria was the quiet girl with many hidden secrets, who would sit in the back row of the class with a book in front of her face and headphones in her ears. Jasper wasn't in a band, on the football team, or popular for that matter. He was a reserved and mysterious boy with just as many dark secrets as well. Jasper Ross and Aria Davidson were no outcasts; not after summer ended for them, that is. Jasper and Aria were just the troubled ones. ___________________________________________________________ - completed in 2017 - Copyright © 2015 Morgan Evans Self Publishing ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
