EXTRACT:
"What do you need from me." He asked turning to me.
"I just, I'm scared, I need you to hold me." I said sighing a tearless breath putting the phone down. He wrapped his arms around me and we sat like that for a while. I could hear his steady heart beat and it was calming.

Head Over Heels
Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training.
