"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.

***Updated Description, since changed the path a bit :) **** 16-year-old Carter Coleman has always been the twin who wasn't enough. While her twin Whitney is an over achiever in everything, what was left for Carter? Nothing. She was never going to be as good as Whitney. Her grades are barley keeping her out of the hot seat at home, and her friends slowly turned to only be friends with the 'better' twin. Carter has had enough. When thinking some pretty dark things, she was ready to just runaway from it all. So, she did. Or, well, tried. After being saved from her reckless actions, the so-called hero was non other than the bad boy at Westville High School, Kenji Cullen. He's a 17 year old, who is known for fighting anyone who pisses him off or if he just feels like it. Kenji had been sought after by so many girls, even boys his entire high school life and ignored them all. What happens when he seems to start to follow Carter around like a guard dog? At first Carter was weirded out by it. Not only Kenji, but his sister, Nina began to be the only ones who ever really listened to Carter. Soon, she kind of grew used to them. Follow Carter and her journey of hardship, romance, heartbreaks, fears and true joy as being 16-17 years old is not always the easiest thing for some. ***
