Breaking Through the Thorns

Rose is... Sheltered growing up. She learns to deal with heavy mental and emotional abuse up until the time she's sixteen and when she finally breaks free she is adopted by a couple that is very well known at the local high school. Her new mom is the principal and her father is the superintendent of the school board. Because of her history, Rose's parents are willing to let her go to school online, at home, but when her senior year rolls around they decide that they don't want her to hold herself back and enroll her in their high school. She's going to face challenges and hardships, things she never expected or wanted.

Enter Tony Thorn. The resident 'emo' kid of Rose's new school, the two find themselves becoming as close as imaginable. Tony is utterly confused at the rapid pace at which he finds himself caring for her but once he overcomes his fear and takes her to 'meet the family' things start to spin out of control. The two have to work together to figure out who is baiting them and why they are the ones being targeted. Rose has to learn to trust herself and Tony because when worse comes to worst, being alone is never the answer.
