Tainted

Tainted- affect with a bad or undesirable quality.

My past is tainted along with my present,
My future is tainted me forever a peasant.
But worst and most morbidly and treacherous of all,
My love is tainted and that will be my final fall.

Kira's tainted and undesirable past has damned her future to the depths of fear and hiding. Death follows her around like a stench and seems to consume all of those who she holds too closely, forcing her to keep a safe distance from all around her but her family who is in just as deep as she is.

Jesse's tainted and undesirable past has done the exact same thing. His past made protection and care blossom in his chest for anyone who may cross his path. Especially when the new girl and her brother who have a knack for lying begin to catch his attention and his perceptive eyes begin to catch onto their deadly secrets.

Keeping secrets is her forte, but soon her brother's new best friend takes an interest in her life and watches her every move, what happens when he catches onto her secrets, will all the pieces start to fall into place and the lies turn into truths?

"The name's Jesse," he extends his hand for me to take. I glare down at his gesture and then my eyes slowly travel up his body and soon I get to his dark green eyes which I remember as black but up close I realize now they're a forest green.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?" my voice comes out cold and demanding, which seems to entertain him because his smirk turns into a full on grin and he lets out a short laugh.
"I was looking for the bathroom and got lost pipsqueak," he grins at me.
"Last time I checked my bedroom didn't have a toilet in it now get out," I growl lowly.

"Make me."
