#Wattys2014 THE TITLE IS SHORTENED. Some people have the strong desire to escape their life, loneliness, and sometimes it's themselves. Their own demons that haunt them every waking moment of their lives. You have to fight those demons and show them that I don't fear you anymore. *WARNING* story does contain adult content. *Parts of this book are based off of real people and real events* (If you want to know more info on any character, use the 'THE GREAT ESCAPE WIKIA', or just pm me I will try to get back to a.s.a.p. !) The book cover no longer has anything to do with the story I just want to keep what I had from the beginning to end

Fluke by kennedy_trent

My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like." With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school.
