“It all starts there.”Those were the last words my father spoke to me.
Five years ago, everything seemed perfect. I had it all: loving parents, best friends, and a potential boyfriend. But most of all, I had skating, and we were one step away from the Olympics.
Until they came for me, and secrets and betrayal rip my world apart. With everything crashing down around me, I’m isolated and broken. At 15, I find myself running for my life.
Finally, I find my way there, to The Aldridge School. A place where futures, dreams, and careers are made or broken. Skating is what brought me here, but I'm in search of so much more.
I wasn't expecting to meet people I could trust, much less connect with the six guys who enter my life. Finding my way back to myself, I'm learning that I don't always have to hide.
Searching for answers will lead me to discoveries that I'm not ready to hear. Each layer I uncover terrifies me more, and I find myself back in danger. Opposing forces each have a purpose for me: to be used or broken. I'm not sure which is worse.
Will my dreams be damaged again? Can I get my justice without losing myself?
Happiness is within my grasp. I just need to be alive to enjoy it—piece of cake.
