Allie

Tell us three things about yourself (almost) no one else knows.
1. I still sleep with my silky, a piece from the edge of the blanket I had as a baby.
2. I’ve kept everything Trip ever gave me.
3. Sometimes I wish I lived anywhere else but Pacific Cliffs.
If you had to describe yourself as a color, which color would you be?
Green, vibrant emerald green, like my eyes.
What's a major pet peeve of yours?
People who are fake.
What would you do if you had just one day left lo live?
Gather up everyone I’ve ever wanted to say something to, good or bad and just say it. If I’m going to be gone, what’s the point of keeping it all in?
How has Trip's death affected or changed your life? be?
Trip was my first love, so I was devastated when I found out about the accident. We’ve always had a kind of connection, you know, you never fall out of love because you never stop caring. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about what might have been.
Andrew

Tell us three things about yourself (almost) no one else knows.
1. I probably know more gossip than anyone else at school. When you’re stuck in a chair all the time, people forget that you can hear.
2. I keep a tell-all blog under an assumed name. (Look at the first question, again. Are you scared?)
3. I’m a pretty good liar, but since I have a hard time talking, I guess lying is easy, because no one asks too many questions. (But knowing I’m a great liar, are you wondering about question one and two now?)
If you had to describe yourself as a color, which color would you be?
Steel grey. Analytical, precise, and useful. Seems like I should throw something warm and fuzzy in their too, but right now that’s all I’ve got.
What's a major pet peeve of yours?
When people look over and around me and won’t look me in the eye. Like they don’t know how to act around me so they pretend I’m not there.



What would you do if you had just one day left lo live?

Say good-bye to everyone I loved and then do something incredibly insane like skydiving, with or without a parachute.
How has Trip's death affected or changed your life?
I don’t have to worry so much about Allie every time she walks out the door, I still worry because mentally she’s kind of a mess, but at least I know she won’t be trying to hide a bruise or something when she gets home. At least I know physically she’s safe.
Mom (Mrs. Davis)

Tell us three things about yourself (almost) no one else knows.
1. Even though I was “popular” I never felt like I fit in when I was in high school.
2. I loved moving around all the time, meeting new people and learning new things, but I wanted more stability for my kids. We moved to Pacific Cliffs for them, not me.
3. I wish I’d gotten some kind of college degree, but getting married so young and all the moving around and then having twins with one very sick little boy, I never got the chance. I feel like I have to be super woman in my job to make up for the fact that I’m not educated.
If you had to describe yourself as a color, which color would you be?
How about dark blue. It’s kind of no nonsense and practical because it hides stains and goes with almost everything.
What would you do if you had just one day left lo live?
My tendency would be to clean the house and make freezer meals for my family and make sure the finances were all in order at home and at work, but I hope I would be willing to let all that go and just spend a day at the beach with my family. (The beach in Hawaii, not Pacific Cliffs, it is my last day after all.)
How has Trip's death affected or changed your life?
I worry about Allie all the time now. His death has completely destroyed her. When Trip was around I felt like she was taken care of. I know moving around was hard on her and that she didn’t have very many close friends. I was so happy that she found him. She and Trip were together all the time and I know he had lots of friends at school. It was nice to see her fitting in around her. The other thing that’s hard is I’m so relieved and grateful that Allie is alive, but I work all day with Trip’s family and I see how them struggling with their loss. Knowing that my child is still alive and theirs isn’t is difficult.
Thanks for the great answers, Jennifer!

Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf
Allie lost everything the night her boyfriend, Trip, died in a tragic car accident—including her memory of the event. All she has left are the scars and a sneaking suspicion that the crash wasn’t an accident after all. When the police reopen the investigation, it quickly turns on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance raises eyebrows around their small town. As the threats begin and the survivor’s guilt sets in, Allie’s memories collide with a dark secret about Trip she’s kept for too long. Caught somewhere between her past and her future, Allie knows she must tell the truth. Can she reach deep enough to remember that night so she can finally break free?
