Bluebeard Southern Gothic Retelling
It's been so, so long since she's known someone who was kind. Alexandra is running, finally.
After a relationship that has caused so much pain has finally reached it's peak, she has finally left.
She finds herself in a small town in Texas. It smells like fresh peaches, new blossoms, warm pies and so much hope she could bury herself in it.
This town, however, harbors a dark secret. Darker than, perhaps, what she is running so far from. And she may not survive it.

You know that story by heart, don't you? The story about a boy straight from the magazine, about a new girl, not like other girls... And the story about that one Queen Bee, the queen of terror, who wanted to have everything and everyone under control. Whose passion seemed to be torturing other students and holding them in a painful, totalitarian grip. The one someone finally got rid of. Once and for all. But she didn't disappear. She wasn't gone with the blow of the wind. She wasn't pushed out of existence when everything went back to normal. Her story carries on... And has more darkness than meets the eye. "Because good punishes evil, Wanting to hurt it. But little does it know, Evil comes from pain."Complete

*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.
