This Sweet Escape

Can you run far enough, fast enough, to escape a broken heart? Samantha For six months Ive hidden my shameful secret behind my good girl image. Perfect grades, perfect smile, perfectly fractured family, with a stepbrother who swears he loves me, and a stepmom who buys me designer clotheseven a perfect boyfriend. Im the only one who knows that Dannys life has been anything but picture perfect. Hes always trusted me with his truth; I only want to escape mine. But now I know thats impossible, and I have to get out before its too late. Reality has let me down for the last time. From here on out, Im making my own reality, and taking Danny with me. Danny Since we were kids, Ive known Sam and I were meant to be. Her smile is the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen, and her laughter is a mystery I want to spend the rest of my life solving. No one believed we would last for the long haul, but I never doubted it. Not until this summer, when Sam meets me at the airport, and says its time for a great adventure. As we hop a plane to New Zealand, I want to believe were just getting an early start on the world travel weve been planning, but deep down, I know somethings wrong. Sam is running from something bad, and the bad things always catch up with you, sooner or later. And when they do, they have a habit of tearing people who love each other apart.
