author: Abbott, Elaine
description: "I don't care about myself, why can't you understand that?" Arianna Parker is a teenage girl with an unbearable past and it has definitely molded her into who she is today. To say that she has a rough life would be a major understatement. She will do anything to ease the emotional pain within her; even if it is just for a few minutes. She encounters a boy named Gunner who takes a sudden interest to her and starts to make her feel something she hadn't felt in years: trust. Will she be able to turn her life around and or will she just continue to spiral downwards?
