disclaimer: i began working on this book in 2012. i was twelve, and bored, so a majority of the first chapters are cheesy, or bizarre. my apologies. i'll do my best to give life advice for girls, however i doubt this will ever actually get to one thousand.

For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her - and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...

"Rose, I'm sorry, but your eyesight will be gone by the end of this year." Who knew one simple sentence could change a life so drastically? Rose is a normal seventeen year old girl with a normal life, normal friends, and what she thought to be normal vision. When she receives the news her vision is slowly deteriorating, she doesn't know what to think. Her life is over. What's a life without being able to see? Enter Chace, a young man who tackled Rose to the ground, mistakingly thinking she was about to commit suicide. He's handsome, suave, and has no idea why Rose is so upset. And even though she is a complete stranger, he decides he wants to help her feel better. With four months until her vision is gone forever, Rose slowly falls in love with this happy-go-lucky young man, but never reveals her problem to him. She's scared. Will he stay with her when he finds out she's going blind? Or will he ditch her when he finds out the truth?

Chika believes in being friendly to people. Even if they were really creepy and had bugs crawling all over them. Over the years, she has been one of Shino's true friends. After a while, he begins to act oddly around her. Well, more odd than how he normally is. To add more into the awkwardness of the situation, Chika begins to feel some feelings towards Shino which she had never thought she would feel. Luckily, or rather unluckily, Chika's mom has brilliant advice on how to fix the situation since she is a love expert. Chika takes a chance and follows her mother's advice. Will she end up regretting it or not? Or die of embarrassment before she can regret anything?
