UNSETTLING

Carl Anne Holton, a 16 year old girl of Calabasas, California, have been living with tons of phobias. Through the years, she and her best friend Uriah tried many things to get rid of them. These phobias became their top secret and decided not to tell anyone except for her parents.
During her junior year, she experienced over exhaustion, fatigue, palpitation, too much panting, breathlessness that triggered her asthma almost every day, she even fainted during their P.E. classes, though she does not remember experiencing it before. Her parents, being conscious about Anne’s condition decided to consult a doctor and discovered that she has a heart failure. Knowing this, Mr and Mrs Holton declared some Do’s and Don’ts and made sure that Uriah tags along with her when they’re not around. Again, this had been a secret to keep because Anne didn’t want to change other people’s perception towards her.
On summer, Anne’s parents had an official business with Frank Kendrick, an owner of an island in Southern California. During their stay, Mrs Holton, without Anne’s knowledge, appointed Edmund Kendrick – Frank’s son – to watch over Anne, since Uriah’s not coming with them. The two – Anne and Edmund – got along well. Edmund knows almost all about Anne’s phobias and health condition and decided to help her get rid of them, though he had not been good when it comes to taking care of someone, especially of girls, because of his past experiences that didn’t come out very well. But he tries hard to do it, for Anne, because she woke him up, and made him realize that he is important and made him to start over a meaningful life, again.
