Before You
by Annie Brewer
It was supposed to be just an ordinary Spring Break in Oregon. Nothing different to the usual crazy parties with friends, if I can call them that. Anything was better than being around my abusive alcoholic father, even if I was getting tired of the monotony of the life I was living here. But when I get a text from my best friend, Addie, in Texas, I knew it was going to change my life. Hell, it was going to change both of our lives. I just wasn't sure if I was ready to face it yet. Until I realized I wasn't the only one keeping secrets. And her secrets? Put mine to shame. I just have to figure out how we're going to deal with all of it. Together? Apart? Now I'm willing to lay it all out there and bare my soul. Even if it means losing my best friend in the process.
