Cecilia Adams. An 18 year old sarcasm extraodinaire. Her life had always been sheltered and boring; family, school, and books. Lots and lots of books. Now that she's been accepted into her dream college, she hopes that her life will change and become more....exciting, perhaps. But how much of her life will change when a mesmerizing green-eyed boy with a seemingly innocent past crashes into her life unexpectedly? ... "What...what are they going to do to me?" I ask quietly. "Nothing. I promise you that I will not let anything happen to you, over my dead body will I let those assholes touch you." He presses his forehead against mine. "I love you." "I love you too. I trust you."
