This is NOT your average cliche love story...
No, this is the story of Cree Goodman. A young girl who grew up in a broken family and was abused in every sense of the word for a majority of her childhood...up until the day she killed her abuser.
This is the story of a young woman who spent the last 7 years of her life trying to heal, and put herself back together the best way she could. But upon returning "home" it seems as though all of her progress is being carelessly thrown out the window as her hometown, and everyone in it refuses to let her forget about her infamous past.
Well...everyone except for August Matthews that is.
While towns folk turned her horrendous past into a folklore, to scare their children into behaving, and made outlandish rumors about her-and her family. He chose to ignore it all by trying to befriend her and show her the love and affection she so desperately needs.
Yet at every given turn, Cree pushes him...his love...and his affection away without so much as a second thought. In her eyes, love is a bad thing, and being loved came with a price. A price she was not willing to pay for ever again.
Which makes her question...
Why is love so complicated when it should be as easy as breathing?
Why is killing a man easier than loving one?
Why is she Capable Of Murder...But Not Love?

"I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?"

The Heartthrob Won't Leave
- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside.

Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers.
