Don't fall inlove with me

CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS

"You can't love me. You shouldn't even like me," I retort, unable to comprehend what I'm saying.

"But I do. I love you so much and it hurts to see that you can't see yourself the way I do." It almost seems that he could start crying. Right here, right now.

Reese Kings hasn't had it easy since she was ten years old.

Her father dying when she was only eleven, to her mother becoming an abusive person. Both mentally and physically.

Although you may think she hides behind a smile, she probably hasn't smiles since her tenth birthday.

Turning to alcohol and drugs at the age of fourteen, then landing herself a year in prison at sixteen, Reese moves all the way across the country. A new school. New life. New everything. This should be easy, right?

When she meets Elliot Thorne, the school's sweetheart, she just expects him to move on with his life and never talk to her.

Wrong.

Elliot Thorne is living a good life from the eyes of the students attending Crawood Highschool.

His goal is to get through highschool worrying only about his grades and basketball.

Or atleast those are his parents goals. Elliot secretly wants to become a professional photographer. Of course he loves basketball. He's pretty damn good at it too, but his personal goal is far from that.

When he meets the cocky, quiet, bossy Reese Kings, he is certainly drawn to her and can't seem to pull away.

The girl shouldn't always have to fall first.
