Protected by a moat made of my tears
From when I cried myself to sleep
Walls so high
You'd have to be giant to see
Walls so thick
No emotions could flee
Protecting myself
And letting others be
There's only me, myself, and I
In this castle of me

Natalie Mitchell was one of those girls who, after being wrong once in her life, never learned to trust anyone else. She had a poetry book that held all of her secrets in a code that no one would understand, or so she thought. The poetry book that held her secrets suddenly disappeared off of her desk and was found by Jacob Williams, a boy whose motto in life is, "Make life worth living then live it to its fullest." After reading the sad poems and understanding the writer, he vows to make her life worth living. Even if it was the last thing he did.

Imagining this feels so good!" ~MadeenahJunaid "God, the cliffhangers. . . It makes me wonder what lies ahead in the next page. Well written" ~HappyEndingWriter Teaser: I went into a frenzy when the curtain was drawn apart and there stood the boy next door with his eyes closed and hands outstretched. But he wasn't just there. He was stark shirtless! My eyes slowly widened and I could feel my own heart beat frantically against my chest ribs. If anyone told me the nerd had perfect eight pack abs and flexed muscles, I'd disagree but here it was, mocking me right in the face. Sweats trickled their way down his belly lines and his torso was rising in a sync. What happens when the tomboy starts to have girl like feelings she ought not to and always condemned? But what seems like a normal highschool story boy falls in love with girl and changes for her might not be it. Instead of the girl to change the boy, the boy is changing the girl.
