Sweet Butterflies

14-year-old Erica Valle is just starting High School, and she does not know what to expect. She is leaving a couple of friends behind, so with the feeling of starting over, she feels like she is being left vulnerable. Things at home are starting to get uneasy with growing up and changes coming along. It's not going to be easy, especially when her stepfather doesn't really tolerate her, and her mother lacks communication with her to stand by her husband's side. Erica will have to basically learn to fend for herself, or her new classmates, friends, and school will have to teach her how to.
As she strides with confidence into the halls, showing no weakness, that confidence starts to fall apart when she meets Alex Flores, and he's had his eyes on her for quite a minute. What Erica doesn't know is that she isn't safe, especially when Alex is around. Alex has gained her full attention, and now all Erica hears are dangerous whispers around her, and she doesn't know why.
Hanging onto Alex is tearing her into pieces, and as time goes by, she is slowly seeing what the issue is, or should I say who the issue is. Will Erica even make it through High school with her head held high, or will this break her completely?
