and then take a right turn.
Two more blocks
and I'll be with Brian.
For the first time
in a long time,
I know he'll be there
waiting for me.
For the past three months, Annaleah has been spending time with Brian, a guy that doesn't go to her high school. They don't have any mutual friends. When they spend time together, they're alone - at the park, at her house, at his house. Their relationship is far from healthy.
Brian would disappear for days and not call Annaleah. Sometimes he would forget they had made plans. Annaleah, 16-years old, was often hurt and confused.
Suddenly, Brian dies. He was 17-years old, just completed his junior year at high school. And no one knew about Annaleah. Or how much of her heart she'd given him.
you are not here, written in free verse form, describes how Annaleah deals with the loss of someone she loved. If you like Ellen Hopkins' books, you'll love this read.
