Hailey Martin has never been one to stick out in a crowd. She's always been perfectly happy to hang out in a corner, listening to her favourite playlists with a book in her hand. But all that changes the day Will Williams, the school's resident bad boy, walks into her life. The last thing Hailey needs is arrogant (and charming) Will getting close to her and her past. Will doesn't need her to figure out the secrets that still haunt him. Will love be enough to risk everything for, or will the two lose each other to the past? ____________________________________ This story is complete. The original version will be staying up as part of draft one. I'll be posting second drafts of the book as I am able to write them. Feel free to read the first version while you wait for the second (which will be enhanced - plot, characters, etc.). Thanks for being patient and I hope you enjoy the story!

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

"It is told through time that everyone has a garden. A garden they share with the one person they're meant to be," she cupped the four year olds cheek with her old weak hand. "When you met that person your garden will be real. Remember that, my dear." "Yes Grandmama." The younger Marinette wiped her tears with her wrist as the frail woman placed her hand on her stomach and stopped her fight to live, her monitor beeping loudly. • • • Marinette hummed as she attended to her garden room a few miles from her home that no one knew of. The flowers glistened with fresh water laying on their petals as Marinette looked at the drenched stranger standing with his hands gripped to his hood, the room seeming to light up brightly as soon as he walked in, flowers that had trouble blooming growing beautifully and vines stretching up high, everything seeming to grow faster as time seemed to slow, Marinette seeing nothing but the darkness.
