FREE STORY WITH PAID BONUS CONTENT FROM HARTLEY's POV! It's a summer of firsts for 15-year-old Gwen, including a life-or-death secret that could change her forever. * * * * * Fifteen-year-old Gwen Lincoln has three goals before sophomore year begins: 1.) experience her first kiss 2.) find a way to get rid of her childish "chipmunk cheeks" for good 3.) escape the separation of her parents ... a dilemma she's keeping from her free-spirited, yet slightly unstable best friend Hartley MacKenna, who she's visiting in New Orleans during summer break. With Hartley taking charge of her ambitious to-do list, Gwen's "Summer of Change" begins, but nothing prepares her for meeting Sullivan Reed, the adorable soccer player next door, who to her utter disbelief, asks her on a date. Now, all she needs is a crash course in Kissing 101 - and her BFF has a surefire-ish plan to show her the ropes! Caught between living her life and trying to run away from it, Gwen's longing to embrace the sun-kissed wetlands of Louisiana and broaden her previously limited horizons is coming true. But when she discovers the secret her friends have been hiding - a secret that could mean the difference between life and death - she must learn to face her own demons (with a little help from the lovable Creole drag queen down the street), or surrender herself to a tragic reality.

But even as I tried my hardest to push him away, he seemed to have made his mission to prove me how wrong I am. *** "Tell me what you like?" Grabbing a handful of his hair and tilted it so I could look at him. I kept dry humping on him, and I felt myself coming closer and closer. It usually takes so much time to build me up, but this sight of him feels like a daydream. His eyebrows knitted together and his lips parted slightly as I pushed myself harder on him. "I asked you a question, June." his hooded eyes finally focus on me and he hums, "You. I like whatever you do to me."

That was until the car accident that left her an orphan and only child. Her parents friends offer to take her in but that would mean moving to California, going to high school and making new friends. It's not all bad though. Especially as Harrison the most irritating, good looking guy she's ever met and the rest of the soccer team insist on bombarding their way into her life. They say when one door closes another one opens. What people forget to mention though, is that most of the time you'll be violently shoved through the new door with barely a moment to breath.

She lay on her bed, blood seeping through her skin, a fractured rib. She knew there would be no doctor, no way for anyone to find out. She knew she would not be saved. From the outside, Isabelle Thompson had the perfect family. A protective brother, a hard-working father and a nurturing mother. Everyone knew who they were, and everyone knew they wouldn't kill a fly. But they had a secret, and big fat juicy one too. Isabelle was always quiet.
