To the unsuspecting eye, Amelia seems like your average upper class Manhattan good girl. There's expectations of how to behave for people that live in the upper east side, especially in the wealthy circles. She studies hard, knows when to keep her mouth shut, pays too much attention to her appearance and tries to live up to all those expectations, for her mothers sake. Amelia would give anything to be herself for a change,  even if she doesn't know who that is.

When shit hits the fan in the family, and in her love life, she ends up moving out of Manhattan to a small town called Aberdeen on the other side of the USA. 
Other than the sadness of moving out of her home town, Amelia feels like she can finally make a fresh start; There's no expectations and no one telling her how she should act. Flowing, beautiful scenery surrounding her and the surprising return of her older brother with a friendly handsome blonde haired and blue eyed man named Chase, maybe this small town wont be so bad after all. Maybe she'll even have a chance to be happy.

Happy might not be part of the plan when she starts at the small towns High school, Greymount High. She has an unfortunate encounter with the towns brooding bad boy, Damon Braxton. Then realises she lives next door to said "brooding boy," Who happens to be best friends with Mr Chase Fletcher, the blonde that never leaves her alone. Oh joy.

Will she take the opportunity of discovering herself even if it is at the risk of letting bad things happen? Or will she play it safe ankd stay away from the troublesome two, away from all the drama but risk never living life and letting go? 

You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough.

But peace never comes easily. Damon Rossi never cared about anyone or anything until he met Amelia in their youth.

They were inseparable until another fateful day tore him away from her without a word for a decade. Now, fate has brought them back together again. When Amelia is hunted down by someone after Damon, she flees to her once best friend for aid and protection. There, she discovers the truth to everything. Why he left, why he came back, and why he's such a hard ass. It is now up to these two stubborn individuals to solve this scheme without budding heads, but when old feelings start to stir with the new ones, they begin to realize they won't be able to walk away from this easily.

I feel his dirty hands touch me once more and move up higher to my thighs. I try to jerk them away but he locks my arms in his hand above my head as a thousand hot tears leave my eyes.

Suddenly, I hear a groan of pain and I get free of his disgusting hands. I don't feel him on me but I don't dare to open my eyes. Another moan is heard again and a punch. I open my eyes and see him kneeling and bleeding. I watch at the boy who saved me and he hits him hard as more blood floods from his lips and nose. It's so dark and my tears don't allow me to see my angel. My savior moves as his fist connects with his face and my angel's hair glow under the moonlight and I stop breathing. Corbyn?

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
