Annabelle Rose Hastings thought her troubles were over when she moved to San Francisco with her family. Little did she know, it was just the beginning. Constantly reminded of the accident, she is haunted by nightmares and "hallucinations." Paranoid, Annabelle trusts no one; instead, she surrounds herself with layers upon layers of walls and lets nobody in. That is, until James waltzes into her life. He's smart, funny, sweet, and determined to break down Annabelle's walls. But James has a secret that no one knows. Day by day passes by, each one getting better than the last, but Annabelle's in for a twist.

A small girls secret
Fifteen-year-old Isla has perfected the art of disappearing in plain sight-baggy hoodies, quiet footsteps, and a silence sharp enough to cut. At home, she survives the chaos of drunken nights and brutal blows. At school, she becomes easy prey for cruel laughter and whispered gossip. To everyone else, she's just another face in the crowd. But Jade Thirlwall notices. When the Little Mix girls befriend Isla, cracks begin to show in the walls she's built. Flinches at raised voices, layers of clothing that hide more than they reveal, eyes that never quite meet theirs. Jade's determination to reach her clashes with Isla's desperate need to keep her secrets buried. As rain-soaked hallways echo with cruelty and home becomes a battlefield Isla cannot escape, a dangerous question hangs in the air: How long can someone keep hiding before the truth breaks free?

Perfect On The Outside
She looks at me incredulously, "Love her?" "Panic attacks, stress disorders, and anxiety. What's not love?" I reply. Spencer Evans is broken. Though people don't realize it because she doesn't look it, she's broken. Almost completely. Now she's going to pull herself back together. To keep people believing that she's perfectly fine. Inside and out. --- Fair Warning: this story was originally written for an English class and it just went on from there. Some of the writing may not be the best, because it is unedited and was originally written back in 2015-16 so.. yeah. Also, it may have some swearing.
