Unwound

For Melanie Rhidley, life hasn't always been easy. It all started in eighth grade when she was bullied. Everyday, Mel would be put down and slashed open by the names and things she was called. It didn't stop when she went home, her home became yet another battle ground she had to run through to avoid being shot down. She couldn't do anything, the threats, the names and the Internet became the project of her ultimate demise. Could she save herself? Could the courage of one guy pull her from the black hole of depression she had been sucked into?

Gunner Calvin grew up believing that pain could be remedied by any of the items found in a first-aid kit, until he met Melanie. Always alone, always crying and always hiding from the people who tore her down, Gunner saw the silent cry for help Mel was showing. He became her hero and her enemy. Gunner was determined to show Melanie that there was still good in the world. Will she believe him?
