**I have taken a short hiatus from this book but will hopefully be back with more soon, and I will likely be re-writing a lot of it. Thanks so much for your support!
I was fat. Like, I know everybody is perfect in their own way, but I sure as heck didn't feel perfect. I was short, and round, had more chins than a Chinese phone book, and had a serious case of the blues because some jerk broke my fat-encased heart for that exact reason, how big I was. I knew something had to change. So, I left school for a year, moved a couple towns over with my aunt and uncle and began homeschooling. In my free time I worked out, and not just here and there, I mean I spent hours in the gym every day. I fought hard, and lost the extra weight. When I got back to school, weird things happened. I became best friends with the jerk who broke my heart, Rylie Taylor, and another girl named Destiny Waters. I was also in a relationship with the most popular guy in school, and that was only the tip of the ice-burg! My story starts now, and I hope you'll stick along for the ride, because I learned, as you will too, a very valuable lesson. Life is clearer when the rain falls.

I have always been bullied and trapped in darkness. I hoped life would get better when I moved to my mother's hometown, but it only got worse because it was there that I met my unrequited crush, Hayden Black.
He despised me from day one, and even more when I became best friends with his twin, Kayden. Kayden gave light to my life, but my happiness with him lasted only until one night two years ago.
That night Kayden died because of me.
Half of me died with him. The other half was left to bleed, suffering Hayden's and his friends' constant bullying.
Now I must endure one more year before I can finally escape them and go to college. This year has to be different.
Either I will become stronger, or they will finally break me into nothing.
