Life's been nothing but crappy to Nevaeh. After rejection, her father's insults and bruises, her mother's departure from her life as well as the oh-so-many rumours and gossip around her, she's had enough. Literally. And decides her only escape from life itself is death. She's lived enough, she thinks. But she's in for a shock when she's rescued from her pool of blood and sweat and brought back to life. She isn't happy, in fact she's empty and resentful and feels like she's failed to even end her life. Life doesn't let her be though. Having to pretend that all is normal is stressful. Not only that but having to face all those that she would have left behind is in itself nerve-wrecking. Add a guy to her life as well. Ridge High's captain, Gabe seems to have an interest in Axehill's bad girl but she couldn't care less. He's wondered how he's never noticed her. Her love for soccer, her once-in-a-while but hundred-watt smile, her annoyance at him, her hate and total dislike for him. She's a grenade and when she blows she's sure to take people with her. Ending it all felt like the best idea, right? But slowly she starts to realise that she doesn't have to end her life for other people to live and have their own happy ever afters. She just has to live for herself. *** "Don't live for me. Or anyone at that," she turns to look at me and I grasp her fingers in mine. She immediately tries to pull away but her fingers are locked in mine "Live for yourself. Live for you." She freezes and stops trying to get her hand away and instead looks me right in the eye. Her expression, for the first time I have met her, softening.

Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."
