This is my story about how I fell in love with my best friend's boyfriend. Well, ex boyfriend now.
My name is Rosaline Carter. My best friend's name is Rachel Caldwell. Her now current, ex boyfriend's name is Ryan Anderson and I am in love with him.
I didn't mean to. I tried to hold back my feelings as long as possible, which was a good 5 months I may add. But the enviable happened, and I kissed him. He kissed me back, and long story short we did the famous, it.
I know what you're thinking. But you don't know how it feels to be in I'll-do-anything-and-everything-for-you love. It's hard enough to fight your feelings for a while, but then it becomes unbearable, and all you can do is eat, sleep, think, breath, that person. I've done so much damage around me; hurt my best friend in the most terrible way and stole her boyfriend. I just don't know what to do.
So if you still wanna know my story and how I got in this terrible mess, here it is.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
