Summer Seventeen & You Sara Daniell

He took my boyfriend's desired position on the baseball team. That was his first mistake. Then he moved in with his brother across the street after his parents died. That was okay until my dad hired him to clean the pool. I had to set boundaries. My heart belonged to Logan Hart. But when everyone left for the summer, I got bored and Elliot Shaw was interesting. I questioned everything about me after Elliot and I became friends. Everything that I thought mattered didn't anymore and life started to have a different meaning. But, with Logan's return from summer vacation, Elliot Shaw had to become my best kept secret. I was never supposed to fall in love with him.

Love stories are supposed to be happy. You're stomach does flip flops, your heart beats faster, and you react to life differently. Life is happier. But that isn't this story. This story is messy and haunting. I didn't want to let Elliot Shaw break down my walls. I didn't want him to see the demons that lurk behind them. I didn't want to see his demons either.

But...we let each other in and there was no turning back, even when I begged him to forget about me.

This isn't a fairy tale about a prince coming to save me. When you begin to read the pages of my story, don't say I didn't warn you.
