Lacey Cooper was just 18 years old when she was raped by her childhood best friend Jackson. Going through something so tragic and sudden caused her to go through a downward spiral until one day she stole her fathers prescription pain killers and downed half the bottle before her mother found her. 7 months later, Lacey is learning to live with the pain of her past the only way she knows how, with lots of sex, tequila, and a few blunts every chance she gets. Also this is my first ever story so I'm really sorry for any errors, but no one is perfect!

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.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.
