The broken tree

"Why does it look so old and-"
"Broken" , he whispered in my ear, " you don't want to find out."
"And why can't I know?", I turned around and looked at him with a questioning look.
"Because I said so, and they are all fake anyway it's just a tree." , he turns around to walk away but I hear him whisper , "At least I won't tell you until you admit your secret." With that he leaves me alone confused, curious, and scared.

Alana Dallas just moved in a new foster home in Tennessee. Her parents died two years ago. Now, she isn't that over the top cheerful girl like she always was. She also has a secret nobody knows. While she is with everybody she acts like the girl she was, but when she is alone she cries herself asleep and has no emotion. She tells herself, " Never let anyone in, because they will know and then they will leave you like everybody else." Oh and she is also 17 years old close to 18!

Then there is Peyton Russel. He has lived in a small town in Tennessee since he was 18. He is a new cop. He is very stubborn too. He hates people that talk about the tree. He can't stand the tree for sure , because that very tree is the reason why he is the way he is. He is also 23 years old and his younger sister lily , Who is 5, lives with him cause his mom died in a car crash 3 years ago, and his father let's not talk about him..

What happens when Alana starts getting curious about the tree that is in the woods in her backyard. She also starts getting these so called "images" that the police got involved?? What if one certain cop that is officer Peyton is trying to believe her. Will Peyton tell her why the tree is the way it is and will Peyton let him go through her walls that she built for two years?? Will the broken tree pull them together or will the broken tree make something bad happen to them?
