Jude has always lived in a big nightmare of life. Everything changes one day when things get out of control and she is forced to abandon her house. She leaves her mom and takes the first bus she can get, which led her to Maryland. She gets there, not knowing where to stay or how to survive. That's when Cameron Byrd comes in her life. She grows a close relationship with Chris, Dan, and Tyler and she knows she can count on them 24/7, but she doesn't seem to trust anyone enough to talk about her past. Things start stacking up in her life, but at these moments, she just wants to know where her Mom is or what's her status.
-------------------------------------
"I might not stand in a position to judge her, but I can't help but to think that she's being way too complicated. I know it seems hard, but I want to be the one to make her smile, to let her know she's not alone, to have her wrapped in my arms all night, because neither of us wants to let go."
~Cameron Byrd
"I didn't expect to do this. I don't know how, when, or why I let him come into my life like that. But honestly, I'd do it all over again if I'd have the chance. Probably, I shouldn't be thinking about boys right now, but I just can't help but love him. How complicated things can get in this life? More than this? If they can, then I wish life would have came with a guide. Just a book that would let me know what I can do for my heart to just pump blood, and not random nonsense that end up in my lips and is spoke out by them."
~Jude Moore
"Honestly, I was dying to have her, but I didn't want to steal her away. I can be really good at loving her, but only if she wants me to."
~Cameron Byrd
[COMPLETED] Autumn Cross is now in 12th grade at her new school, Willington High, with only one goal in mind: passing the 12th grade and going to a good college. But her world changes when she meets Ryder Becker.
Ryder Becker is one of the most popular boys in all of Willington High. I mean, all the boys want to be him and all the girls worship him. He could care less about grades because he knows that football is what's going to get him into a good college. But his carelessness in grades changes when he meets Autumn.
Not only does Autumn get partnered up with Ryder for the biggest class project of the whole year, she also lives on the same street as him. In the beginning she thinks it's a total curse, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise...
They both may pretend on the outside that they are fine, but truth be told, they are both broken. The way his smile doesn't match his sad eyes draws her towards him, and the scars and bruises on her skin draw him towards her. A cure for your sadness could be another person, right? Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together.
-----------------------------------
A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me.
"Why are you staring like that?" I asked him.
"You scare me, Autumn." Ryder admitted.
"How come?"
He looked down at the grass beneath us then back at me and gulped. "Because I want to tell you secrets I'm too scared to admit to myself."

🤍I wrote this when I was around 13-14 (i'm 19 now) so some chapters may be cringy but I am too lazy to rewrite them, and still so many people enjoy this book and i'm truly grateful! But sorry in advance for scenes that may seem unrealistically cringe...I was young and naive. But anyways,enjoy the book (hoping to write more books in the future)🤍
