My first year at college has been anything but ordinary. After spending so much energy trying to protect my secret, I failed to realize it's not the past I need to fear-It's my future that's at stake. I've finally found someone who doesn't judge me for my sins and stays by my side while I trudge through the shadowy corners of my past. The only problem is, his friends have other plans. One watches me day and night-painting a picture of a disturbed life together. And the other is hanging my secret over my head as leverage to aid in his own scheme. But everyone has a weakness, and that weakness will be mine. There once was a sicko who watched me day and night. His invisible leash, never let me out of his sight. His friends were unlike him, one a monster I feared. The other bled crimson, with a heart that was pure.
