Erin Hawkwood is a junior in high school and the perfect child, even when her twin Evelyn, and older brother Evan seem otherwise. That's until she meets Elijah D'Cruz on accident, who shows her what she's been missing....


His eyes pool with tears and I can't stop my tears from streaming down my face. My hands are trembling with the gun in it and I don't even know if I'll be able to hold it up straight. Is this it? The end?

"I'm gonna take it slow, okay? Tell me if it's too much." 


I dig my nails into the back of his shoulders as he slowly slides into me.

"I'm so sorry. We don't have to do this-" but I cut him off, shaking my head.
