All she wants is to get through her senior year of high school unscarred and qualify for a college scholarship. What lays ahead is, therefore, nice and clear: just another quiet year amongst studies, shifts at the bookshop, and -- most importantly -- avoidance of drama and unnecessary attention. However, what her perfect plan didn't consider was an unexpected turn of events with the name of Cameron Alvarez -- a troubled and cryptic boy who's returning to what could no longer feel like home. Both haunted by their painful pasts and bearing raging storms inside of them, how could they overcome it all if not together? Yet how dangerous would that be, -- to step off the edge of the precipice and let nothing but the force of gravity interfere as you free-fall. . . But as Audrey well knows, anything that falls, sooner or later gets broken. Is that a risk she's willing to take? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ © All Rights Reserved. 2020 FEATURED ON: @YA @YARomance @TeenFiction @Romance @WattpadMulticultural @WattCliches || highest ranks reached - #1 in sociallyawkward ||Complete
