What happens when a daughter dies and the mother loses her mind? They said it was suicide. But perhaps, it was not. Something was happening. Something strange, dangerous. 16 year old Jennifer 'Jennie' Grey had no idea what was happening. She was a normal girl living a normal life with normal friends. But now, she knows the world might just end. that the shadows and grief might take over. And it will happen soon. And she knows its up to her. the clock ticks. Tick-tock

Moving into a luxury apartment was supposed to be my fresh start. A new life. A perfect relationship. A version of me that finally made sense. I had everything under control - my studies, my future, my boyfriend who loved me safely... predictably. Until I met him. The boy next door. Cold eyes that linger too long. A voice that never softens. Tattoos like secrets I shouldn't want to trace. He doesn't flirt. He doesn't smile. But he looks at me like I'm already something he's decided not to stay away from. Like I'm a mistake he might enjoy making. I tell myself I should hate him. That he's rude. Detached. Dangerous in a way I don't fully understand yet. But hate doesn't explain the way my heartbeat changes when he's near. Or the way I start noticing him even when I'm trying not to. My boyfriend makes me feel safe. The boy next door makes me feel like safety was never meant for me. And the worst part? He doesn't even need to touch me to feel too close. Just standing on the other side of the wall is enough.
