I live in a world where your plans are the same as the person sitting next to you, even if that person is a complete stranger. My name is Julie, of course my mother didn't pick that name for me it was chosen for me years ago before my blood even existed. I have long dark hair, sky blue eyes, I even have a few freckles. I may look normal but I'm different and the government (The Big Guys) don't have an inkling of what they're in for.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

"Mary!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Mary where are you?" I continued searching the wreckage, limping around on my one leg that wasn't gushing blood. My eyes scanned the perimeter until they landed on a lifeless body in which was laying in a contorted position across the open car door. "Mary!" I gasped at the appearance, tears were streaming down my face as I struggled to get over to my sister. "This is all my fault!" I screamed into the air, pounding the ground with my fist while trying to shake Mary awake. "Please wake up.....please." She groaned and rolled over onto her back, revealing a large gash in her side and a growing puddle of blood next to her head. Her face scrunched up in agony when I tried to reach under her and pull her up. Her head immediately snapped up only to have her eyes stare into my gaze. "Mary this is all my fault." I choked out, still staring into her large blue eyes. She responded by placing one finger over my lips and making a shushing sound. "Where is mom?" she questioned me. I looked over Mary's shoulder to see my mother lying limp against the car seat. My breath hitched as I watched her chest stay completely and utterly still. She wasn't breathing.......and it was all my fault. *** Brianna Thompson was always the happy girl. She hung around her twin sister Mary like she was her life support.
