Kelly’s Confusion: A Young Adult Horror Story

(Northern Starlight Young Adult Press July 17, 2016)
Kelly doesn’t know what to do. Everything is spiraling out of control. Why is everything so confusing. Why does she have feelings for the boy who kidnapped her? Why does her mother get drunk every night? Why is it that there are only small snatches of time when she feels any sense of piece, sense of control, and sense of worth? And why does each of those snatches of time involve running her razor over her skin and drawing blood?
Kelly’s Confusion is the second story in the Kelly’s Freedom series from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press, which tells the story of a teen girl’s escape from a life of pure hell. It continues the story started in Kelly Kidnapped, Kelly’s Captor, and Kelly’s Cuts. It contains mature situations and mature language and is intended for mature teens. Parents should read this ebook to determine if the subject matter is appropriate for children in their care.
Here is a preview:
“Like what, babe?” Babe? Did he just call me babe? Like I was his “girl” or something? What the hell? Kale's face held genuine concern. One look into his deep ivy eyes and my heart melted. “Like personal issues. Self-harm and such...”
I immediately regretted it as soon as I said it. Shit... Kale's eyes grew wide. “Like...cutting?”
That word was like a slice to the heart. “No!” I denied. I was a liar.
He rolled up my sleeves, revealing old scars, scabs and fresh cuts.
“What the fuck?” I screamed, my voice full of rage. How could he do that?! What made him think he could reveal my secrets to the world. I knew I was exaggerating, but it was so frustrating! Like I hadn't tried hard enough to keep my secret...
He scowled at me. “How could you do this to yourself?” he shouted.
I couldn't bear to look at his angry eyes so I turned around. “You don't know my life...” He pulled me in to him, even though my back was facing him. His overwhelming delicious scent filled my nostrils. I inhaled deeply.
“What the hell, Kelly,” he whispered.
His breath tickled my neck. His mouth came to just below my ears when he bent over. A shiver went down my spine. Now it was my turn to receive a damp spot on my shirt.
“Kale,” I whispered. My voice was hoarse. “Are you... Crying?”
