Love.
That's the question on Athena's mind lately.
What is love?
Athena, is just a girl who moves to a new city with her family after a tragedy. She starts high school with a new boyfriend and some new friends, but things just don't seem right? She soon meets Leonardo. The talk of the town. The bad boy. He's not everything she thought he would be. I guess you shouldn't really judge a book by it's cover.
But when the truth of their pasts unravel will they still be the same? What even are they? What's going on?
Athena wonders if Leornardo can really be the answer to all her questions. Maybe she can find a new home within him. Maybe Leonardo can find some comfort in Athena. They are two totally different people. No one would expect them to become friends, let alone be in a relationship.
But as they say.. opposites attract.

She wears her black hoodie like a shield, her face hidden in the shadows, always on the edge of the crowd. She doesn't want to be seen. She doesn't want to be known. Because if anyone were to truly look, they'd see the fear in her eyes, the bruises that don't heal, and the story she's terrified of telling. Her life is a quiet war she fights every day-against her father's fists, against the memories that threaten to consume her, and against the world that's turned its back on her. She's learned to survive in the silence, to hide from the chaos that swirls around her. But when she decides she's had enough, and tries to run away from the nightmare that is her home, she finds herself crashing headfirst into something-or rather, someone-who might be even more dangerous than what she's running from.
