" And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game. "
Zoe Serpico did everything she needed to survive. She clawed her way to the top and did all she could to stay there. Including playing The Game, a hardcore game of truth or dare that had no barriers. Secrets were spilled like blood. Friendships were slit like throats.
Nobody knew where Zoe was on September 12th, and she needed to keep it that way.
Joey James avoided Zoe at all costs. Years and years of torture and bullying from her ruined his life. Now he was picking up the pieces. Bit by bit, he was dragging himself out of that terrible Room that kept him hostage for so long.
Zoe didn't plan on dragging Joey into The Game. But in the end, all you need is a heart to be a victim of The Game.

Tired of Lies

"I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me."
