Amira Brown struggles to get away from her abusive boyfriend, especially after she stupidly moves in with him, until she meets Warren Kreed, a 6'2" hot brunette with more secrets than she can count.
To make matters worse, it's October, which means the Halloween Massacre is starting. Every year, a mysterious man wearing a Scream mask kills people throughout all of October, then when Halloween strikes, the mass murdering happens. No one has been able to uncover the truth of these murders, but luckily (or unluckily) for Amira, she's been led right to the center of it all.
Will Amira be able to escape her boyfriend, figure out Warren, AND make it out in one piece? Only time will tell.

If any readers are sensitive to these themes I advise to not read this story or read with caution.
I wiped my eyes once again to see deep piercing green ones looking down at me.
More tears came as I saw the root of my anger, and I stood up pushing past him. I tried to run but got pulled back by a hand grabbing my wrist. "What happened?" Clyde demanded angrily.
"Get off of me!" I growled and pried his fingers off my wrist and continued to the bathroom. Once inside I went into a stall and grabbed some toilet paper to wipe my face. Why was I always crying?
I heard the door open and I tried to contain my sniffling so that they wouldn't hear. Then I looked down to see the feet and saw Clyde crawling under my stall.

Alexa Moore is a crybaby. She can't deal well with her emotions; if she is frustrated, angry, sad, mad, or hurt she can't help but cry. She hates that she always feels the need to cry and tries to stay happy by being unconfrontational, and staying away from jerks.
Clyde Wood is seemingly heartless. Through the bad, sad, hurtful, and pissing situations he appears to be tougher than nails. Sure he is happy most times, but in the eyes of many he is a heartless jerk that picks on everyone. If it wasn't for his great looks he'd probably be with the Gothic kids, not the popular ones. That, and he made a hobby of being a player.
Alexa meeting Clyde was definitely a recipe for disaster, causing her to shed more tears than in her entire 17 years. The year goes from good to bad to good to bad, and end bad? With so much heart churning events, will there really be a rainbow after the storm?
