Sometimes you have to get lost in order to be found... I'm needy. I'm broken. Cutting breaks through my numbness, but only opens more wounds. Depression, bullying, self-harm...that's my reality. Sex and guys...my escape. The space between the truth and lies is blurred leaving me torn, lost and confused. And while the monsters that live in my head try to beat me--the two men that I love try to save me. This is my story of friendship, heartache and the grueling journey that is mental-illness.

She's always been popular, beautiful, and a bully. Elizabeth Brant has lived by her own rules all her life...or so everyone thought. She holds onto a past that's the town's most well-kept secret. She can't wait to move away from it all. Entering into college Elizabeth learns quickly that she's no longer the head bitch around. Learning how to navigate a sorority of mean girls and swallowing some of the same vile things she's imposed on others is a rude awakening. Elizabeth has grand plans for herself and refuses to be weakened by anyone. No matter what. Then unexpectedly, the notorious bad boy on campus rips through her well-manicured plans and everything changes. Bad boy Fin Riley's past has caused him to be a relentless rebel. He's into fast cars, loud music, sex and alcohol. Breaking hearts and rules are the two things he does best. Unapologetically. What happens when the queen of mean meets her match? Fin may very well be the biggest challenge Elizabeth has ever faced. Will he be able to unveil the tough girl act or will he hate her just as much as everyone else always has? Secrets will be revealed and lives will be forever changed when Fin and Elizabeth's pasts collide with their future... (This story is not professionally edited.)
