During her junior year of high school, Reese Olson watches as her life falls apart in front of her eyes. Her past buzzing in her head once again, this time louder than it's ever been, she knows she can't get away from it anymore.
Not so far away, Aiden Miller is silently on the verge of losing control. The anger yet brittleness he feels slips through the cracks of his seemingly perfect life and his role as quarterback of the school's football team.
There's something about Aiden that Reese feels strangely and uncomfortably familiar with. They're part of each other's past, yet clueless of what it is about to bring to light.
So when secrets from the past come to the surface and threaten to ruin what they have, Reese will have to make a choice.
Because sometimes, the answers to our darkest questions are right in front of us. All we have to do is turn on the light.

I um," Every word I had learned from pre-school to now had just flew out of my mind and left me speechless. "I should go."

I drove all the way to my house and when I got there I fell against the cold wall. What had just happened? All I knew is that I wasn't able to think straight. My mind was clouded with memories of him. I shook my head trying to forget everything that was involved with him. But I wasn't able to forget. These thoughts were a part of me now.
