Brand New Life (Sequel to Rise) (Colton Dixon)

Three months after she started living with Colton and Annie, Alexis's life should be pretty close to perfect, if not very, very improved. And it is. But she can't shake the shadows of her past... the dreams, the cuts that still appear on her arms over and over again without Colton knowing, and everything else that won't let her have a moments peace... from her life. Hard as she tries, she can't seem to be the perfect Christian that she is convinced both God and Colton want of her, but she also can't go back to who she used to be. Ideas float through her head about not being at all anymore, and she can't believe that she's slipped that far again, and refuses to come forward to anyone who loves her, convinced that it will be the end of that. But as she keeps slipping, trying desperately to get back up without any help, it's getting close to a struggle between the Brand New Life that Colton is trying so desperately to show her that she can have, or no life at all.

A/N: If you haven't read Rise, I highly recommend that you go back and read it first, or very little is going to make full sense.
