"You don't know me. You don't what I've seen, what I've done. You don't know what I've been through!" Vera cried out in the crowded hallway. 
    
    "You've accused me of being a bitch, a slut and many other things over the past two months I've been here. Yet, you've never actually taken any interest into my life until recently. For fuck sake's, you didn't even know my name!" On the verge of tears, Vera started towards the muscular back facing her. 
    
    His backside was shaking vigorously, and as Vera got closer, she noticed his hands at his sides screwing up into tight fists, turning his knuckles a sickly white. 
    
    She was now less than a foot away from him, and there she stayed. 
    
    "Why me? What did I do to you to deserve all of the shit you've given me? All the countless days you've spent to make sure I'm miserable." Her lips began to wobble and was near to losing control over her buckling knees, which were barely helping her stand upright. "Why me, Reuben?"
    
    The corridor was dead silent, with only the noises of his harsh and deep breathing and her shallow whimpers being heard by all present. 
    
    ****************************************
    
    She came to America in search of a new start, only to find a dead end.
    
    He came back to search for whatever remained of his past life, only to find it replaced by a Step-Dad and new home he doesn't recognise.
    
    Vera and Reuben are polar opposites. Yes, there is no denying that.
    
    But if they were to put aside their differences, maybe they'll find not what they want... 
    
    But what they need.

"Daniel please-" He growled cutting me off mid sentence; making it obvious that he's pissed beyond belief. I never knew that telling him my past would upset him, at least not like this.

I've never told anyone this before and when I finally do, to Daniel Tyson, he gets more mad than I have ever seen anyone in my whole life. His body snaps towards me; his normally bright eyes are dark and full of emotion and his face is hard with anger. "Why didn't you tell me?!" Danny exclaims, making me flinch. "I'm so sorry, I thought-" I sob and his hands wrap around my wrist and yank. "You thought what?!" More hot tears go down my face. "I-" "You thought that I wouldn't care? That I wouldn't understand? Why can't you get it through your thick skull that I will ALWAYS care about you Nida?!" Suddenly, Danny's lips are crashed into mine. ••• Nida Vargas has been through hell and back trying to look out for her family and take care of herself at the same time. Ever since she started high school, it's been all about getting into college and making a better life for herself.

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

My mind was going numb and I was losing control. "Bailey!" My mother called from below and Matt placed his lips over mine so that I couldn't call out for help. I tried to push him away, but he simply held my hands in his. We heard my mother climb the stairs to reach my room and Matt smirked at me. "Let's see you talk your way out of this."
