A vicious bully. An abusive, alcoholic mother. A father behind bars. And two boys fighting for her heart. Fifteen-year-old High school Sophomore Bailey Sykes is just trying to make it to another day. But when life starts to spiral out of control, and the suffering she endures becomes too much to bear, she writes a list- a list that cannot be unwritten. This one piece of crumpled paper is more terrifying than a knife or gun. The names are marked with small ovals shaped like bullets. Like the bullets Bailey plans to drive through their cruel, icy hearts and suck the life from them with.
I feel more normal and clear-headed than ever when I read over my Bullet List. I have used nothing but logic to create it and what is more logical than abolishing the things that hurt you the most?
I have a list, an actual list of people who deserve to die.

I reach out to grab the door handle, and right as I'm about to take my step to freedom, I hear my name being called. And I know exactly who it is. The person who makes my life miserable. The person that makes me want to die more and more each day. The one person who knows my only weaknesses. The school bully." Jessica is a 15 year old at Marino High school.

Or will he be the cause of her destruction? ---------------------------- ~Noah's pov~ 'These,' I slowly run my finger across one of her scars, 'are fucking beautiful.' Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'Complete
