Just Another Enigma

Dare is a seventeen year old Senior in high school. Her brother is dead, her mom is in prison, she has secrets that she would take to the grave, and she can't stop her nightmares, or her thoughts that she should be dead instead. When someone new comes into her life, with secrets of his own, she thinks about shutting him out, but she quickly discovers something that stops her from doing so- he's already in.

And that, Dare, is the goddamn truth, and there's never a time I don't hate myself for it."
