At 17 years old, Aurora Archer has her whole life planned out. Starting off her final year of high school in a new city wasn't what she expected to do, but she is prepared to embrace the change of scenery, and more specifically the change of people. She thought she would be able to take on any challenge life throws at her, but she never expected this. She never expected him. 

As you go through life, you will learn many things that will aide you along the way. But when it comes to dealing with the beast within, there is nothing that can ever be taught to prepare you for it; to prepare her for him.

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

(not checked for SPAG) Aurora Montgomery, quiet and cold. Waiting for someone to help her out of her misery. No one came. After losing too many people in her lifetime, she becomes a person who's so worn down that no one could pick her up. She feels broken. She finds herself in senior year and while she's got an IQ of 145 and skills that could last her years if she were to list them all, it's still hard for her. Throw one snarky bad boy called Kingsley Nightingale, him being your fake partner and him being a dickhead to you into the mix, and what was supposed to be her life would be hell. But is it really hell? Because I'm pretty sure hell doesn't end up in real relationships. (This is a happy ending story though I feel as though 13 year old me did not think the name through!) (Set in 2018 (shes 18 in 2018) for the sake of your minds and my own, the maths needs to add up for me. If anything in my story is ahead of its time, don't correct me :))
