One mistake could cost her someone else's soul. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "They say the heart is just an organ, a muscle the size of your fist, playing it's part in the symphony that keeps life going. What they don't tell you is that the drum beating inside your chest houses inside it the very strings that tie your soul down to your body, strings that extend out from your soul and loop themselves around all the people, all the objects, all the memories and actions that sing to the same beat as your heart, the only things keeping your soul from drifting away into the night sky." On the outside, Leah looks like any normal teenage girl, slowly suffocating as she is under the weight of studies, diet plans and period mood swings. But underneath the straightened hair and layers of makeup is a girl cradling a secret that threatens to destroy everything she has ever worked for. She can see heartstrings. And she's not the only one. Someone out there is cutting people's heartstrings at random, setting their souls loose and leaving behind an empty husk of a body. Follow Leah as she sets out to confront this certain someone, and in the process comes to the realization that dabbling with people's hearts, and their souls, for that matter, comes with a price she might not be able to pay just yet.

Logan

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
