Some girls are tough, but Daphne is tough in a different way. She lost her mother to a short fight with cancer when she was fourteen years old, leaving her alone with her father. After her death, he became depressed and slowly started to deteriorate for the last two years. But she doesn’t have time to dwell on it because the medical bills from both her father and mother are only piled upon every day bills for food, heat, water, and rent. Her father’s disabled checks don’t cover much, so Daphne got a job at the hardware store down the street, which helped a little bit more. Enter Ethan. After a few recurring appearances, he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse… literally. That’s how she ended up fighting in front of crowds in a deserted warehouse. It was illegal on many levels, but the cash she brought home every Friday and Saturday was impossible to turn down. On one of her regular nights of fighting, she met eyes with a stranger in the crowd. She didn’t think anything of his brooding stare; there were lots of creeps who came to watch the fight for the boobs and blood. But when she saw those same eyes the following Monday, everything changed. Who was this guy? How close is he trying to get to Daphne and why? How long can she continue this double life that puts her in danger so that she can save her father’s life? And the burning question Daphne has to decide: Is it all worth it?

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us.

We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.
