Girl on Edge

"Clarke you have to get over him... he will never love you," I told my self, losing count how many times I had said it. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop thinking about him, wanting him, and I knew deep down that it was all in my dreams.

I stared in the mirror, confused, was I not good enough? I criticized my body, finding everything as an excuse for Luke not liking me.

I fell to the floor my body too exhausted to carry the weight of my body, my eyes never leaving the mirror. I had tears streaming down my face, my hair was a mess, and I had a headache.

This was the effect he had on me. I cried harder at how pathetic I looked, no one would ever love me, maybe Luke was better off with Miranda, away from me and my problems.

"Maybe he's better off with-out.. me...me."

Clarke always liked Luke west, her best friend but knew that they could never be together because he never felt the same way about her.
Instead Luke loved someone else, Miranda, Clarke's best friend. But Clarke doesn't give up, nor does she stop loving Luke. She makes it a mission to get Luke to notice her and see her as more than a friend.

But Clarke's life changes in a matter of seconds, when she finally tells Luke how she feels about him, unable to keep the secret any longer. Her life turns upside down, she was completely broken the one person she ever loved rejected her and hurt her.
From that day on Clarke changed for the worst, she became cold and wanting nothing to do with the rest of the world, hating everything and everyone.

That all changes when Clarke meets Axel West, a playboy who is seen by others as just a troublemaker who just hates everyone but actually is just trying to hide his broken heart.
He needs someone to talk to who will understand him without judging and he thinks Clarke is the right person.

Will Clarke accept what Axel wants from her, and have a chance to let out all the anger she has been hiding for so long?
