A dead man once said that "We stopped checking for monsters under our beds, when we realized they were inside of us." I don't want to believe that there's a monster inside of me, but when he came along my whole body was set ablaze. He's going to kill me slowly, and I have a feeling I'm going to like when I finally burn down to ashes. - - - When the new boy with blonde hair and piercings rolls into town in the middle of the first semester he intrigues everyone at Hayle High School, most specifically senior geek Jessabelle Lange. Everything in her life has been planned, from the moment she entered the world till the day she takes her last breath her life has been ruled by her parents. But when she befriends the new kid her life is turned upside down, and Jesse isn't sure whether or not she's content with living her life the way her parents have always convinced her it should be lived. What will happen when she finds herself in deeper than she thought she was, and there's no more running back home to her parents when things get rough? And how does she make the monster under her bed go away when he's the only one capable of making her feel alive. There's no way Jessebelle is simply telling him to "go away".
