Chapter One *Edited*

Her best friend is dead. Her brother's an alcoholic. Her parents are never there. Life is hard for Anna, but she's never been one to give up. Lately, though, she's been struggling to cope with her own problems, let alone adding a guy into the mix. However, when Mitch Bryant steps up one night to save her, she can't stop thinking about those hazel eyes. Her brother doesn't approve, which makes it all the more fun, and to top it all off, her past comes back to ruin her relationship. But somebody's dark secrets are coming to life, and Anna's perfectly balanced world is about to come crashing down on her.
