Iliana was always a bigger girl. She's not fat she's just not quite as skinny as all the other girls. She never fit in.She doesn't understand the concept of confidence or inner beauty. And her parents dont help with that. Her dad is the leader of the most deadly mafia in all of California.The Red Ravens.Her parents are strict. Strict to the point where sometimes she had gone a week without eating because she was talking back. She only has two friends. Stella and Addie. She's always been told that she will never find love, that she wasn't meant to. Until he came along... Tyson was an edgy person.But not because he's trying to be, but because he's been through it.The only reason he was popular was because of his looks. Now dont get me wrong he wasn't ugly in fact he was the most saut after guy in the whole school. But whenever anyone said something about their feelings he sort of just felt awkward. His parents arent terrible they're just not around all that much. Well at least his mom isn't terrible. His dad on the other hand well... Let's just say not all parents deserve kids. And his dad was definitely one of them. ------------------------------------------------------------- "Why won't you just let me help you!" She beamed. "Because iliana! Im to scared to hurt you! " He explained. The shock between both of them was crazy. Tyson being shocked he could open up like that, and iliana being shocked that he wouldn't let her work through this with him. "I love you tyson. There's nothing that could ever change that. I'm here to work through this with you but you just can't see that. So I'll be here when you ready to talk but until then, goodbye." He watches her walk away and knows that nothing will never be the same again. ------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first book ever so it's a little rough!
