THIS IS A BETTER VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL.] IMPORTANT NOTE I left Wattpad years ago because suddenly I had a lot more pressure from school, and looked back on this story. I cringed so fucking much, but it brought back so many memories so I wanted to completely fix it. It won't get as many reads as the original but I wanted to put this out here anyways. Better version complete with: - NEW scenes - Foreshadowing - Realistic pacing - Grammar! - Better dialogue - Imagery - A standard (past) tense - Cut filler scenes - American spelling since Leah is American (even though I'm not) - Edited storyline - No confusing POV's - Fixed plot holes - Prior research - Actual common sense Thanks for all the support!
