TRIGGER WARNING: This story could be very triggering to readers with past experiences or readers who are currently struggling with depression, self harm, or suicidal thoughts. Read at your own risk. Also, thank you for choosing my book and I hope you enjoy. Hit after hit, kick after kick, I don't know how much more I can take. Bruises everywhere, every inch of my skin covered in dark colored patches. I ache for relief, for the moment I bore them enough and can finally flee to my room. I yearn for my razor blade, the only object that gives me the control I desire more than anything. Iris Marie is a 17 year a old foster child that lives in a state of constant depression from the abuse she receives at the hands of her foster family. She yearns for her 18th birthday. 6 months away, so close yet so far at the same time. Nick Connors is your typical nice guy, rich parents, good grades, and drop dead gorgeous. What will happen when the polar opposites meet?
