Alexandria Smith, commonly known as Alex, moves to a different city after an incident that happened at her old school. Being 3 weeks into the school year is going to be hard to adjust and make friends. But the difference between her last school and now, she doesn't want any friends. Hell she doesn't want to be noticed at all.
You see what happened at her old school changed her, it was her last straw. Plus living with the guilt she has already doesn't help her. She just wants to keep her head down. But sadly life doesn't work that way.
Hunter Black, is known for his looks and being in the rock band, Unforgiving Daylight. But if you ask anybody in Jefferson high who he is most known for it is being a Bad boy. He is harsh and unforgiving to anybody. But like everybody he has a dark past that lingers there, always reminding him of what he had done.
When Hunter hears a beautiful voice singing one of his favorite songs, in the detention room, he noticed it to be the quiet new girl's voice, Alex. He wants her to join the band. They both have dreams they want but can't have.
Join them on a twisty adventure with heartbreak, pain, love, hopefulness, and happiness.
Warning this is kinda cliche but I will try and make it less of one.

The Way We Get By
Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recoveryComplete

Obey.
!!!Warning: Is very triggering. Lots of detailed descriptions of abuse*** "The only way out is through." When your life turns into a nightmare and something really horrible happens to you, you believe while it's happening, someone is going to burst in any minute and save you, you picture a loved one or even a heroic stranger; anyone to help you. Just like in every movie, book or tv show. Any minute now, they would come... Unfortunately, in real life, that just doesn't happen. No one bursts in to save you. No one speaks up to stop the horror happening to you. The nightmare continues on uninterrupted and you're forced to live through it, every second, until it's done. And still no one bares witness. Only you, and the one hurting you. NOTE: this is for anyone who has been through trauma and felt trapped, almost enslaved to your abuser....knowing help would not come. And saving yourself was the only option.Complete
Cold Hearted Devil For A Partner
Joshua Taylor. Whenever people hear that name, they would shake with fear. Why? Because that name belongs to the school's bad boy. He was mysterious, rude, cold hearted and is always getting in trouble. He was a cold hearted player who didn't care about anyone. Most people fear him and even though he treats them like a used washcloth most girls would give anything just to date him. They'll even throw themselves at him hoping he'll care for them. Alexandra Miller wasn't one of those girls though. She is a regular girl who always gets good grades and would rather sit in her room reading a book all day than go out. She tries to avoid drama and didn't care much for guys like Joshua Taylor. What would happen when all of that changes? What would happen when Alexandra has a run-in with Joshua? Would he make her life a living hell? Maybe... One thing is for sure, Alexandra wishes that she didn't have anything to do with the bad boy. Also, she wishes she hadn't built a chemistry with him because with his reputation it could only lead to heartbreak. ****** Thanks for checking out my story. Please keep in mind that this was my very first book, so it isn't my best. It's very tacky and cliché. My other stories have improved and are way better. **** Wonderful cover made by @Qveen_Neisha_BooComplete
