I ask again, repeating the question. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Meet Alyssa Ace; your average sixteen-year-old girl. She's stubborn, sarcastic and your stereotypical nerd, or so it seems. Meet Austin Holt; the sexy, popular seventeen-year-old guy that every girl dreams of in their sleep, except for one girl. He's cocky, rude, cold and a huge daredevil. What happens when the worlds of these two collide due to a lost key? He's the complete opposite of herself, but why is it that every time their eyes meet her heart skips a beat? This isn't one of those cliche love stories. This is a story of tears, heartbreaks, true love, and daisies. © all rights reserved // obsessed- [ WARNING // There is a ton of swearing in the story, so i'm just warning you guys out there that are not a huge fan of swearing. Also I know I suck at writing a blurb, but give this story a chance and who knows what might happen ;) ]

When she receives a call from her brother, who she hasn't spoken to in years, she is forced to return to her small country town that she hasn't been back to visit for almost a decade. Glendale is far from the pretty lights and vibrant parties of the city that Brea is used to. Especially the people in town.
