Serena wakes up almost every night with nightmares. She has panic attacks from one every once in a while and can't stand it. She is haunted by her past and the horrible memories. On good nights she can wake herself up before they start to get too bad, and on really good nights she will have a dreamless sleep. Her dad is always working and doesn't even care about her anymore. No one notices her zombie like state because everyone is tired during the school day, until Hayden West and Serena are paired up for and English project. Hayden is infuriating according to Serena. Serena will find out how deep the phrase blow up can go with this unmistakable Bad boy, but will she also find out how deep love can go?
