Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.

She gets whatever she wants. She is cruel. She is vindictive. She is merciless. That's why I want to kill her. She is Emery Fin Clinton. And I want to be her killer. Who am I? That's for me to know and for you to never find out.

I saw something. Something I shouldn't have. If anyone found out what I know, I could get into trouble. Very, very big trouble. So now, I am simply trying to forget. Harley Williams is a witness to something big. Something that could kill her if they find out she has told someone. Something she must keep a secret. But someone might find out her secret. Someone may cost her her life. Maybe it will be easier trying to forget than trying to keep a secret. But if that secret follows you everywhere, that can make it a little more difficult. *mostly unedited*
