"Life is like a song."

"Jacob, please don't. Didn't you just fail the poetry unit?"

"Life can get so loud and stressful at times, but then it can be quiet and calm the next moment."

"I swear you've gotta be quoting someone."

"And like a song, life can have sudden pauses, where no music is playing and everything freezes, as though time itself has stopped. Of course, eventually the song will start up again and everything will resume as it was. Then before you know it, the song is over. No more pauses. No more noise. Just silence."

♫♪♫♪

Everything about Hannah Cloutier's life is broken.

One brother doesn't want to be recognized; the other is hardly recognizable. One parent has suddenly slipped away; the other's sanity slowly slips away. One friend from the past remains loyal; the other is as disloyal as they come.

Starting Grade 12, Anna does her best to exceed in school. Not being exceptionally athletic, she tutors fellow students in her free time, when not hanging out with one of her two best friends: Claire and Dominic. She and Nick have been best friends for eight years, and to say they've been through a lot together would be an understatement. 

Two and a half years ago, Anna went through the hardest "Pause" of her life. Now she seeks nothing but to live ordinarily, like nothing ever happened. However, the arrhythmic beat of her past refuses to stay where it belongs.

On top of her past problems and friendship dilemmas, a new stereotypical delinquent, who just so happens to need a tutor, arrives at Anna's school. Meanwhile, an unknown danger lurks in the shadows, ready to wreak havoc.

♫♪♫♪

CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO FOR EARLY ACCESS CHAPTERS ON INKITT!! *** "Calm down," he said as he brushed the broken glass off his forehead. "Calm down?" I shrieked. "You're telling me to calm down after a man just tried to kill us in the middle of the night and is now laying right over there dead!" I said pointing to his limp, none moving body. "He's fine," River said as if it were no big deal. "I didn't hit him that hard." I looked at him in pure shock. What was wrong with him? "Now come on," he said grabbing my arm and leading me away from the man. I looked at him. Sweat had formed all over his forehead and a look of urgency was written all over his face. Blood was now leaking from the nasty cut on his forehead and looked like it would need some serious tending. I looked between him and the guy laying on the ground. I'm probably going to regret this later. I thought to myself as I took a deep breath before nodding and without a second thought, he continued pulling me away. *** Cat was your average girl; she maintained good grades, loved friends, and wanted to become a famous dancer, but her life changes when she literally runs into the biggest bad boy in her school: River Parker. Aka, the boy who doesn't care about anything or anyone except his very few close friends, including Cat's best friend Liam. But little did she know that her 'run in' would throw her into a life of drugs, gambling, near-death experiences, and so much more. And to make things worse, she might be falling in love with him and all his dangerous ways. (I know that this may seem cliche, but please give it a chance) ©2016 Highest rating: #1 in TeenFiction

~~~~ Finally the day is over, things could have gone a lot worse but the only bad thing I got from today was getting paired with Tim in a business studies assignment. Me and him both arrived late third class and others had already chosen their partners, Dee paired with Nat. I tried conversing with Tim but the only thing I got back was a stare, I looked like a fool. It settles it I hate Timothy Storm. I know hate is a big word, but I never try to converse with anyone and when I finally did I got stared at. ~~~~ As you can see this is your typical cliche love story, the bad boy (Tim) and the the good girl (Kim) are forced to join forces due to the most dispicable activities of them all.....a school project. We have all ready a story like that before....... Infact you already know the ending Or do you? For all we know Kim may or may not be the good girl she claims to be. Is Tim really bad or maybe it's just an act. I promise you this is mostly going to be like most stories, with the crazy bitches that always making the female lead's life hell, the demons of the past coming back to haunt them and other things you have read before, But please just read the book you won't regret it, and if by any chance you do then feel free to cuss me out at the of the book........ but whatever you do read till the end. P.S I may or may not be a little rusty when it comes to writing. I am an amateur after all. If this is making you have second thoughts about reading the book....... forget I even wrote it and proceed on saving this story to your reading list *wiggles eyelashes innocently*. ~~~~
