TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!! Sexual violence Have you ever found yourself in a situation you didn't like at first? One you didn't cause or bring onto yourself? Isabella Lagarde, 14, and her sister, Molly, 12, have been abused emotionally by their parents for years. Isabella continually dates people who abuse her physically. But not to long ago she met someone amazing who very well may have saved her life, Alex. Even though she has a hard life, she still makes it to church. Her youth group was taking a trip to the mountains and she was going, now she has only been going to this church for a little while so she doesn't really know anybody. She meets someone who was just as attracted to her as she was to him and she was happy. But when she gets home she gets a huge surprise. That only gets bigger.

She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. ⚠️TW⚠️Domestic Violence ⚠️TW⚠️ Sexual Assault ⚠️TW⚠️ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.
