"Eleanor, what do you think pain is really all about?" Booker asked, his light blue eyes cast towards the stars. I shrugged, the thought swirling around in my mind.
"I had never really thought about it until now." I replied honestly, looking down. He sat up and shoved his hands in his makeshift pockets and looked down upon me.
"I think pain is progress. Something that helps one to learn of themselves." Booker said, his tone laced with something I couldn't quite read.
The world Eleanor lives in is that represented by the aches of one's heart. Blades protruding from one's back tells a story each of the hardships and pain they have endured in their lives. When a mysterious boy shows up in the forest, Eleanor and her brother Nathaniel take him in. But what seems to be an innocent boy from a far away land, contains a past covered in bloodshed and despair.

"Her amber eyes turned almost black as the shadows overtook her thin frame. Tree branches became spindly hands wrapping their serpentine fingers around his body, vines twisting and knotting to pin him to the ground. He could have sworn he saw her levitating for a moment, but he would not be one to doubt if his eyes were playing tricks on him. After all, that's what got him into this mess in the first place." William dommers was a normal - almost boring - teenager. He spent his days at school and his nights at home, tapping away at his computer and waiting for the sun to set.

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
