Is this really happening? Why would I take this risk? Why can't I breathe?
"Because he's good. He isn't like HIM, he would never hurt you. He's the light, the good." A voice answered the questions in my head.
He leaned in, his light-blue eyes holding me in a trance, me unable to break the gaze we held. Something in his eyes flickered, his body growing more tense by the second.
Willow Nirabla, a 15 year-old girl, has learned one important lesson, trust is given and taken, so choose wisely. Growing up with an abusive father, both physically and sexually, has traumatized her. She had no choice but to call Child Services and run away. Being put in foster homes was the opposite of what she wanted, but she was away from HIM. This meant new things... freedom, relief, new beginnings, happiness... or so she thought.
Mason Carnagie, a 17 year-old boy, was the boy who every girl couldn't stay away from. Cliche, right? Well it's the truth, he could never say no, and he was out of control. Also experienced with foster families, his best friend is the new foster brother of Willow. Unable to keep himself away, he wanted to know what she was like, to know her, to at least see if she was different.

His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"Complete
