"Hey." It all started with that three lettered word in a mysterious text from an unknown Californian number―hey. Alex Turner is your average seventeen―almost eighteen―year old girl. She's been through the normal teenage girl drama, like every other girl her age. She never thought she would be the same after her ex shattered her heart, but she finds herself being stronger than she imagined, and pulled through what the world had to throw at her. Though she thought fate hated her, Alex was surprised when she received that three lettered text one day, along with the drama that came with it. What she didn't know, is that that simple greeting would open so many new doors. Jake Carter was the guy for her, and fate decided that when he first sent her that text message. * * * This used to say "Based On A True Story," but I took it down because I'm sick of explaining that only the idea how Jake and Alex meet is true. Some other stuff might be true, but that's mainly it. :) And it didn't happen to me, but my friend :P © 2013, all rights reserved.
