Saved by the bad boy

"What is happening to you Grace?" He asks.

"Nothing." I tell him to quickly.

He eyes me, "I don't know what it is, but I can feel that you're hiding something from me. From everyone. I can tell. Please tell me." He pleads.

"I-I can't." I say, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Why can't you?" He presses.

"Because I'm scared." I admit.

"Scared of what?" He asks, concern laced in his voice.

I look at him, "Scared that everyone will find out."

Grace Johnson. On the outside, she's sarcastic, doesn't care what other think, and she's happy. On the inside, she's broken, and only lying about being happy and not caring about what people think because she feels that she's a burden to everyone, and everyone will be disgusted when they found out what happened to her.

Axel Smith. Player. Badass. Bad boy. Heartless. At least that's what people think. But people don't seem to bother to get to know him, but Grace does.

Axel knows Grace is hiding a big secret. Grace knows Axel is mysterious, and doesn't open up. They both are determined to find out each other, but will it all work out in the end?
