I have walked these streets my whole life, I know them just the same as if they were etched in my head with a sharp knife, scored in deep like some strange work of art. These are the streets I grew up on and for the most part I'm calm here, at home, on the down low with a steady heart beat. Not tonight though. Tonight my heart wants out of my chest. It wants to beat free of its cage. It pounds like it's going to crack a rib. Every color is brighter, every noise louder, every stranger makes my heart beat more fiercely.

Save Me
Erika Kingsley fits the stereotype: blonde hair, blue eyes, rich dad. In definition: the spoiled blonde brat. But she isn't. The real her wants to be accepted, but can she in a very judgemental, ignorant world? Her family is portrayed as perfect in the media, but behind the camera, Erika is a completely different story. She's grown up in the facade of perfection and happiness. She may seem happy, but she yearns for something to save her from the battle she has with herself in her own mind. Lucas Perry fits the other stereotype: invisible, loner, smart, middle-class. In definition: the dejected loser of the social ladder. However, there is more to this new kid and why he puts on a 'I'm smarter than all of you' façade. As they say, a lack of confidence and happiness can manifest itself into arrogance and some serious irritation. As the stereotype goes, two worlds collide. But soon after, they find the other to be the same. Two people who need someone; someone to pull them away from the inner demons that hold them hostage. They both needed to be saved from their most challenging force: themselves. *TRIGGER WARNING:READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* This book contains serious topics such as anxiety, panic attacks, disability, addictive substances, depression, mental illness, self-harm, and suicide.Complete
Fault Lines
Grace was the quintessential sheltered girl. Her parents had gone through hell to have her and in a sad twist, instead of letting her enjoy the life they'd finally (finally!!) given her, they'd made her afraid to actually live it. And that helicopter style of parenting had emboldened her parents enough to believe their input in every decision making was not only important, but essential. Her life was mapped and planned to the last minute by her overbearing mother. Her future, in her mother's plans, was already set, regardless of Grace's thoughts on the matter. Her only solace, throughout her life were her best friends Liz and Ben. Liz was a similar story in the sense that her parents were strict, but for different reasons. Her older sister was a walking talking afterschool special, and because of this, her parent's default parenting setting was untrusting. And Ben, even though he came from a more laid back household, with a single mother and a lot of rambunctious brothers, he had been in all her classes and there wasn't much Grace's parents could do to keep them from bonding during school projects. But sadly Ben had passed away in a car accident fall of Junior year. So, essentially, Grace was a boiling pot waiting to be pushed. Jack has always known he liked Grace, his twin brother's best friend, but he never dared to act on it. She was shy, and only ever truly came out of her shell around Ben, Jack's twin. When tragedy strikes and Ben dies, everything changes, and Jack finds himself drawn to Grace in ways he never expected. But just when their connection begins to grow, another tragedy tears them apart, leaving Jack broken and Grace on a journey of personal growth. Years later, fate brings them together again. Can they rebuild what was lost, or is the past too heavy to overcome? A powerful story of love, loss, and the paths that lead us back to each other when we least expect it.Complete
