SCARRED

"What the fuck happened to your neck, Bella?" He asks, tracing the ugly scar on my skin and his other hand holds both of mine tightly in place when I attempt to cover my neck. He shifts his eyes from my neck to my face and he raises his eyebrows at me for answers. "I asked you a question, Bella, what the hell happened to your neck!" He demands. "It is just an ugly scar-" "Bella," he tips my chin up and our eyes lock. "No part of your body is ugly," if that is supposed to make me feel better...it doesn't work. The scar on my neck is ugly, yet it's nothing compared to the one in my heart. It is the ugliest. I am scarred for life. *** Belle went through something traumatic when she was little, and she has a scar that keeps reminding her of every single thing that happened. She was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, and she has been homeschooled her entire life. But now her therapist wants her to enroll in a normal university. She is supposed to make friends, fall in love and live like a normal teenage girl, yet nothing about her life is normal. She will make friends and she will fall deeply in love, but what happens when the only person that was supposed to save you from yourself ends up betraying you? Scarred is not your typical romance.
