But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care.

She was cold to the touch. Draped out on the lawn under a sky full of stars, shivers wracking her petite frame. "What the Hell are you doing out here, Bird?" I whispered, shrugging my jacket off and draping it gently over her shoulders. "N-No- Nothing." "Don't lie to me." She winced. "I-I'm sorry D-Drew." her teeth chattered noisily between her words. "You could have gotten really sick." I told her, picking her up bridal style and carrying her to the front porch. I raised my hand to knock but her fingers clamped onto my wrist.
