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?
Life's just not worth living, I mutter under my breath.
Then how's death worth dying? Jackson asks in return.

Danielle Forlorm is breathing. And yet, she is very much dead. A corpse with a smile and nobody notices. Nobody knows or even cares that she's felt like a stillborn her whole life. Just like her stories. Dead and not worth a second look.
Until her world collides with Jackson Palmer. Mr Perfect with his easy life and bright future. Or so people think.
Set on reviving Danielle, Jackson creates a once in a life time bucket list made up from everything daring that Danielle's characters have done in the stories she's written.
"Stop writing about the life you want to live and start living it."
But can Jackson bring this stillborn back to life before it's too late?

"This story is not getting a happy ending, Jackson Palmer."
"Well, Dani, at least we'll have quite the adventure before all that."
