1st book- Prequel to Beyond Grey Shadows
NEW CHAPTERS- rewritten !!
Greya Matthews has already endured a lifetime of loss.
Her grades and soccer talent could take her anywhere after graduation, but she feels tied to the only family she has left-her younger brother and her grandmother. Since her parents' deaths, Greya has carried the weight of responsibility on her shoulders, sacrificing her dreams until she's forgotten what it feels like to choose herself. That is, until she begins spending more time with Becker Reeves.
Becker Reeves is the school's golden boy-or so everyone believes. He's the kind of guy every girl wants, except Greya. She sees past the charm, past the perfect image, and senses something darker. She pushes him in ways no one else dares to, and that terrifies him. Because letting her in means exposing secrets he's kept hidden for far too long. Yet, there's something about her he can't walk away from.
Then comes the tragedy.
One moment that changes everything-shattering who they thought they were and forcing them to confront the truth. Together, Greya and Becker must face a new reality... one that will either forge them into something stronger or break them beyond repair.

Shattered - A Rape Story
Lily's life is left in shambles after a horrific encounter with someone close to her. But as the events afterward continue to unfold she realizes it's far from over and that he won't stop until he gets her right back where he wants her. *** WRITERS NOTE ABOUT SHATTERED (SEPTEMBER 18, 2018)*** I'm going to be making a few minor detail changes to Shattered. Shattered was a story I wrote when I was 17. I'm so immensely proud of the success the story has found on this website but there are small things about the writing that bother me when I look back on it now 5 years later. No major parts of the chapters will be altered- it will remain the same story you guys know and love. I hope no one's too disappointed by the updates. As always- thank you endlessly for the support. xComplete![I Loved You Blindly [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161118475-256-k656767.jpg)

A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.
