Falling

When Hayley Clarke receives news of the schools two week camp, Euphoric is an understatement. Eager to get away from her abusive mother at home, Hayley doesn’t care where she goes; as long as she’s away from her.

With his cold aura and aloof personality, Collin Salvatore isn’t exactly what you’d call approachable. When he meets Hayley on the bus, he doesn’t utter a single word to her. Still struggling with the accident a year ago, a car crash whom left only Collin alive, which Collin blames himself for, Collin suffers from night terrors and is afraid to let anyone in, in fear of getting hurt again. Though Hayley and Collin are complete opposites, they have both dealt with a life of pain and grief, will they ever live without the hurt, or even get the chance to?
