*In which the quiet guy falls for the popular, nice girl.*

Alex Brady had been a normal kid when he'd fallen for Bree Treven. It was a cute little romance between two innocent children. But four years later, Bree is far from innocent. After years of abuse and rape committed by her family, little Bree finally snapped. Bree was thrown into Crickly, a place that turns you crazy if you aren't already. Alex was left without a friend in the world. Four years on, Alex is battling bullies at school and neglect at home, but maybe he wont be so alone, when a certain psychopath decides the time is right to make a surprise visit home.
