Scarred by an old incident, I hoped life in a new town would help me finally accept myself, but I was wrong because the big change brought something way worse. Blake Jones. I was on Blake's radar from the first day of our senior year, when he humiliated me in front of the whole school with a "welcome party." However, it wasn't welcoming at all, and it was just the start. Day after day, Blake was there to remind me I was fat and worthless, and the coward in me never let me defend myself. Until I finally exploded and fought back, right in the middle of class. But now? Now I have to pay the price because Blake won't let it slide. He'll make sure I regret it. Unless I manage to break out of his hatred and my all-consuming fears.

After all, we may be both damaged, but we're each other's salvation.

"W-what the heck is that in your hand?!" I whispered in shock, backing myself against the wall. Axel looked down at his hand, which held the silver killing device. "It's a gun?" he said, with confusion in his voice, as if it wasn't obvious. "Well, no duh, but why the heck do you have one?" I yelled, which maybe wasn't the smartest thing to do when he's the one carrying the gun. But then again, I'm his wife, would he really shoot me? "I'm not going to shoot you," his voice breaking my train of thought. Axel took a few steps forward before he was leaning over me and I was trapped, surrounded by his arms that were on either side of my head. "W-what are you going to do then?"
