Warning: The following story contains self-harm, abuse, suicidal tendacies, cussing, drugs, alcohol and other such things. If this evokes negative feelings that lead you to start thinking about suicide, self harm, or any of the things listed previously, stop reading immediately. Lucia (Lucy) Brooks is a senior in high schools. She lives, she breathes (barely) and suffers from a majority of problems. But her biggest is the abuse she receives from her father. In order to remedy the pain, she cuts herself, disillusioned that she has control over it. But she's wrong. In fact, Lucy is dangerously close to committing suicide. The only reason she doesn't is because of her love for her fellow senior Danny Worsnop. When Danny takes a sudden interest in her, he isn't aware of how messed up Lucy is inside. She's girl who needs real help, not a boy with a future in Rock N Roll. So can Danny live up to Lucy's Knight-In-Shining-Armour expectations, or will she save herself?

Cover by the amazing @LNRoberts1 It's 1983 and high school sophomore, Anne Kelly's home life is coming apart at the seams. What's more, her friends are hanging with the popular crowd, and Anne doesn't feel she fits in. She gradually becomes fixated with a shy junior on the swim team named Gavin Maloney, but her friends think he's a total loser. However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further. She begins writing him letters, not the stupid anonymous notes her friends put in his locker to taunt him, but real letters. Gavin has lost his mom to cancer and his father has gone missing. He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible. Once he turns 18, he'll be a legal adult and nobody will be able to separate him from his grandfather. He just has to hold out one more year. But it isn't easy. Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane. She's practically stalking him, and if he befriends her, she might find out about his grandfather and ruin his plan. But what if he just wrote her back?
