Will she become one of them, or will she stick to her MENTALITY?

I remember the urgency in her eyes, the sound of her terrified screams piercing the air. I remember her last words and the men dragging her away. My name is Sephora Baxter and this is the story of how one night changed my life forever. What do you do when everything you know about your life isn't real?

The summer before going into one of the most important phases in her life, that being college, was just the absolute wrong time to fall in love for Atiyya. She had so much ahead of herself, so many options. I mean, Kaleb wasn't the only boy in the world.

Coming from a dead beat mother and an alcoholic father, he was trying to be better than the both of them could ever be and he didn't need distractions. He only wanted Atiyya's friendship, nothing more, nothing less. But as time progressed and the two rekindled their friendship after Kaleb's long hiatus, they began to realize that just maybe they wanted more. ----- I'm not gonna give some long synopsis of this book like I originally planned to.
