I can't really blame him for my stolen innocence; that falls into the hands of my unfit parents. And I can't say he introduced me to the drugs; I was raised around them. And if I say he broke my heart, that's admitting I have one, and sucumbing to weakness. So what choice do I have? How do I stick blame on him without actually accusing? How do I show the world he broke the broken girl, how do I show them he deserves all the same he has left me with? I guess my only choice is to write every detail of our short lived affair, and bring every dark secret to light.

"Do you want to talk? You know, about everything?" Evan asks. He's staring up at the star-covered sky as he holds our brown bag of French fries. I finish my sip of my vanilla milkshake despite not wanting to stop and follow his gaze. The stars twinkle against the black and wish I had brought my camera. Somehow I thought that bringing it on our maybe-maybe-not date wasn't appropriate. "I don't know," I smile, "everything seems like a lot of talking." Alabama Reed has fooled herself into thinking that this could work and she knows it. With an accident she's trying to downplay and a loss she can't seem to forget, things aren't looking good. So Bam's parents do the only thing they can think of; they take their daughter and drive her halfway across the country to sleepy Mermaid Bay to live in an empty cottage for the summer. Things quickly start looking up when Bam realizes the newspapers don't cover news that happens hours away, but as soon as she starts making friends and secrets of her past start unraveling, Bam finds out that you can't always run from your past - even if you actually run away.

"Even though his family is broken just like mine, he won’t understand what I did. If I tell him what I did, he’ll think I’m just like the rest of them – fake.

One bridge. Two guys. Three secrets. Four therapists. Five attempts. Six months. Seven bad habits. Eight family meetings. Nine visits. Ten cuts. One death. Spiritual #4

CASE: CLOSED "She's dead now, and there's nothing we can do about it." --- Kasia Andrews expects very little on a Monday morning.

Shae Blackthorn has a reputation to uphold. She's the bad girl, the one who sleeps with anyone, who scowls and is multilingual in English, French, sarcasm, and bitch, who creates music so well that she could be a prodigy, who is on a first name basis with the principal, who gets in trouble more times than you could possibly count, who has rumors that even celebrities are glad they aren't her. If there's anyone to be scared of, anyone to avoid at all times, it would probably be her, the musically inclined bad girl. But there's more to the story than it may seem. Underneath those blue eyes might be someone else entirely and Vane St. Clair, a new boy in town, wants to know.

Sarah is in a mental hospital. She meets a boy named Connor, a quiet angry whirlpool. Together, they work through the problems inside: the mentally unstable, the corrupted staff, and Sarah's own demons. Together, they find there is light in all the darkness.

But more than that, he finds himself asking the question, 'Are drugs really the cause of this?' A/N: I'm sorry for the horrible description. I suck. I suck a lot.

The only way she'll survive is with a transplant, but being on the bottom of the waiting list, she's looking death in the eyes rather than getting the surgery.
