Torn (Unabridged‪)‬

Sometimes death is the only solution. 

On a hot Texas night, high school senior Allie Garner discovers that the tiniest of choices has the power to destroy her. Ignored by her parents, shunned by her classmates, and hated by her best friends, she turns to the one person who can fix the nightmare. 

Luke Pierce is a damaged soul recovering from a suicide attempt, but he understands Allie's pain almost better than she does herself. When he agrees to her secret idea, the two begin planning a deadly pact: They will travel to the suicide capital of the world, the Golden Gate Bridge, and jump to their deaths together. As her end draws near, Allie must decide between her growing doubt that they are doing the right thing and a promise made to a boy who is nothing as he seems.
