"Why do the best people die?
When you're in the garden, which flowers do you pick?
The most beautiful ones.
Exactly."
°°°
Spencer Evans blamed herself for picking one of the most beautiful flower in her garden. She was supposed to take love it, care for it, and she tried, but like every flower, they eventually wither and die. What's worse is she watched the flower die in her hands.
Spencer and her dad moved to a new town to escape and start over. Her dad spent a lot of time not at home and Spencer was just trying to get through her senior year of high school. Her plan was to lay low and focus on her studies.
She gets her mind off of things by walking into the lonely forest, trees opening a path to invite her in. One of the nights she goes out, a storm passes over her town. Not surprised, Spencer has a hoodie on. But it's not just rain. There's thunder and lightning. Out in the middle of woods, all alone on a cold and stormy night.
The great escape from her old town results in Spencer finding herself on the porch of the one and only, Beckett Woods.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun."

Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest.

People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
