It all started one night when I was taking out the trash after work. Who would've known that it would lead to this. My name is Avery Starr, I'm 17 years old and I've been beaten by my parents, bullied at school, and even kicked out of my own house. I thought all was lost, everything was crumbling beneath my feet, there was no reason to live anymore. Then I met him. Slate Nicolson. His piercing blue eyes, gorgeous blonde hair, piercings in general, and sweet, caring personality is what drew me to him. What drew him to me? I have no idea, but this is only the beginning.
