Alyxandra Dawson has been abused by her father since her mother Renee died. Her siblings Isabelle and Elijah are 7 years old and she'd do anything to protect them, the moment she turns 18 she's taking them both far, far away. She knows it might not be easy to get custody but she refuses to leave them in that house. She's capable and more than qualified to take care of them. Her best friends Maya and Jordyn know what goes on and are always there when she needs them. While they don't agree with them staying in the house they understand why Alyx won't leave yet, so until she does they'll be right there whenever she needs them. One day the resident 'bad boy' Carter Monroe moves in next door. The moment they meet it's like an instant attraction. Alyx isn't the type to date (for obvious reasons) and Carter doesn't either. She doesn't tell him about the abuse and before she can get the chance he sees it first hand. Can he save her before it's too late or will she meet her mother's same fate?
