Two girls. Two lifestyles. One locker filled with a compelling secret. "Who would have thought one little locker would unveil so much" she asked me as we found ourselves intertwined in each others embrace. My fingers found their way through her coiled hair as she laid on top of me. I took a deep breath before saying, "I'm lucky it did" I spoke. "We would have been dead a long time ago if it hadn't" I finished, watching as her eyes now scanned over my entire being. I didn't understand how, but Locker 265 saved my life.

[Sequel To Property Of Billie Eilish] Three years ago, Billie disappeared in a fire that should've taken her life. Everyone thought she was dead-except Riley. Grief-stricken and obsessed, Riley has spent every moment since searching for the girl who taught her how to love... and how to burn. When Riley finally finds Billie in a psychiatric institution, alive but unrecognizable, the reunion is anything but romantic. Billie is medicated, erratic, and unreachable. Riley is bitter, broken, and smoking herself into ruin. What follows is a sharp, spiraling descent into obsession, guilt, and fractured loyalty. Riley can't stop visiting. Billie can't decide if she wants her there. And between insecurity, violent outbursts, and long-forgotten secrets from the night of the fire-both girls must face the one question neither of them is ready to answer: Is love still love when it starts to hurt? Insanity is a dark, emotional novel about mental illness, toxic romance, and the blurred line between devotion and destruction.

Everyone says high school is hell. For Riley, it started with a girl named Billie. When Riley is assigned to help the new girl at school, she doesn't expect much. Billie is quiet, strange, always scribbling in that journal she won't let anyone touch. But something about her-her sharp wit, her soft voice, her secrets-draws Riley in. As they spend time together on a class project, Riley starts to uncover the shadows Billie hides behind her silence. Nightmares. Disappearances. Cold, dead stares. Still, Riley can't walk away-not when Billie starts to trust her. Not when Riley starts to care more than she should. But everything unravels when a terrifying event exposes the truth about Billie's mental health. As reality blurs and rumors burn through the halls of their school, Riley is left with one question: If she keeps loving Billie through all of it-will she survive it herself? ••• • #2 in comeoutandplay on 8.28.25
