Hello Readers! I'm just gonna start off by saying if you read this story without reading the first one, NOTHING will make sense! It is a sequel to "Fake Smiles and Cut Wrists" and you can find it on my profile. So there's some information you'll need to read!

When seventeen year old Laura Weston returns to her hometown after two years of living in Ohio, it's almost as if she never left. Almost. 

Enter her ex boyfriend, Chandler Russell. 

Laura remembers Chandler as the sweet fourteen year old boy who was scared of his own shadow. 

When she meets him again, he's unrecognizable. Smoking, in and out of Juvie, and not a shred of his old, shy personality left. 

Could Laura be the one thing that reminds Chandler of who he really is? Or will the darkness consume him?
