Arabella. A sweet, innocent, shy girl who has social anxiety. Due to the past and how she grew up, she's also afraid of dating. However, she moves to a new town, starts at a new high school where she unexpectedly meets a boy. Introducing Shawn. He's tall, has tattoos and puts on a cold exterior. He's drawn to Arabella in an instant and feels the need to protect her. Both have been through tough situations but find peace and comfort when they're together. Maybe love is the best medicine.

"Don't touch me" He said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what I'll do if you touch me" My heart dropped. "I don't want to see you like this" I frowned and hesitantly tried to touch his shoulder, but he grabbed my hand tightly but gently. "Fuck it" He murmured as he held my jaw and pressed his lips on mine. (The guy is 22 and the girl is 17 a few months away from 18. If you're bothered by that please don't read it.)
