Cas Parks is a high school senior recovering from a long battle with thoughts of and attempts at committing suicide. Since she was eleven, she's tried to kill herself eight times. The number of times she's thought of killing herself is innumerable. But each time she tried ending her life, something held her back. For that, she couldn't be more glad.
Andrew Stevens left Nuevale High in his sophomore year and came back his senior year, more stony and cold than ever before. He's cast off all the people he once considered friends, but there's one girl he can't seem to shake, and that's Cas Parks.
She thinks he needs to let more people in, and after spending an unwillingly large amount of time with her, he thinks she needs to shut some people out. And so it becomes a battle of wills to see which will crack first. Neither of them ever stopped to consider that they might just crack for each other.

This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.
