Night Shifts

Cadence has never lived in a peaceful home. Her parents have been bickering and arguing ever since she can remember, but recently, the fights have been more frequent. She picked up the habit of sleeping through their fighting and staying awake during the night, normally spending time in her local coffee shop. Being an insomniac has made it hard for her to focus on schoolwork, but she made it through her junior year, dreading the summer and being with her parents all day, every day. So, she decides to move in with her aunt for the summer, working night shifts in her coffee shop, Amour Cafe.

While working nights, she has a few run-ins with the town's "bad kids", who are just a bunch of troubled teenagers who only have each other's support. One of the members of this group catches her attention, Eli. He's interesting to her. She relates to him. Maybe her summer won't be so bad anyway.
