Abbie is a cyber-security specialist who loves being the girl-in-the-(swivel)-chair. It feels safe and comfortable.

But she feels neither when she crawls out of a car wreck in the middle of nowhere, unable to recall the last five years of her life. She has a mysterious message on her phone and a timer counting down to Lord-knows-what.

Also, there's an unconscious man in the car, carrying an ID card which calls him Elias.

Just when things can't get any weirder, a man shows up with a gun, hell-bent on killing both of them. In a split second, Abbie abandons Elias to save her life.

But shivering in the middle of the road in a stolen car, Abbie must make a choice. She can either drive away, never knowing what the timer counts down to, or risk her life to save Elias, who could have all the answers.

The Light House Girl. by Growling_moon
65 parts Complete Mature
17-year-old Abigail Wells, known as Abbie, is shipped off to live with her estranged mother. The same woman whom Abbie has not seen since she was about three years old. Abbie's dad, Keith, is not a good guy and hates her passionately. Her home life was not good growing up yet he was the only parent she has ever known. Her only constant. Adeline Cobwell, Abbie's mother, lives in a small town, Reef's Paradise located in Florida. As the name indicates, the town is sort of a paradise for people residing there. Hidden alcove of a town, separated from busy cities surrounding it. The local saying, 'once you are here, you never want to leave,' is something all townsfolk here adhere to. Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean. Being a teenager is not easy nor is peeling off layers of masks, especially when you have them on for so long. When anger is the only emotion Abbie's known to express for so long things are bound to explode. This is my first story here. Comments and feedback are appreciated.
