"Breathe, baby, you're okay." 

My head jerked backwards, hitting the wall, and I screamed in pain and frustration.

"Why was I cursed like this?"

16 year-old Alexandria Colbin had a good life, for the most part. 

Two parents who love each other (but still fight every once in a while).

An older sister and two younger brothers.

An amazing best friend.

A school she loved.

But she also had a medical condition called Tourettes Syndrome. And, of course, her TS caused narcolepsy as well. 

So as she's going through life, she tries to stay as normal as she can. It's not easy though.

In fact, it's impossible.

17 year old Erik Carter had a less ideal life.

Absent parents.

Failing grades.

Bad mental health.

Three siblings to take care of.

A needy girlfriend.

How could he deal with all of this? He couldn't. Not without help.

Good thing Alexandria is pretty great at helping.

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

"Aana..." i flinched listening his voice. "Yess", I replied nervously and he took a step forward and held my hand in his. I froze on my place. "I won't harm you!" He said and i took my hand back nodding. __________________ I always wanted to marry Derek Vincent. Marrying him was my dream. He was my everything. My best friend, my crush, my childhood love and soon to be husband. Beside him there was his elder brother totally opposite of Derek. He was my tutor. Although I've always loved Derek, i don't know how his elder brother had the power to froze me on my place. Everytime my heart races when I see him. He makes me nervous just by looking at me. He's strict as a teacher. He's disciplined as a lion. He's perfect as his father. But the problem was I don't like perfect things. I've always believed that anything that shows to be too perfect is never the perfect one. Some people are too good to be true. That's what I feel whenever we cross paths. Everytime i gulp my saliva. Everytime i bite my lips. Everytime my heart skips a beat . Everytime i look at his eyes i feel like he has so much to ask and so much to tell but he never talked to me. Never ever. We only communicated in tution hours and exchange only a word or two. I never saw him looking at me but still i feel like his eyes are pinned on me.That's how he makes me feel only by standing infront of me. Keeping all this confused emotions aside i agreed to get married.To Derek. And that day everything changed cause Derek didn't showed up at the venue. I was standing there with a broken heart and tears. And that day i had to take a decision. A decision that can change my whole life. For good? For bad? I don't know. © All rights reserved.

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.
