She was the girl who wanted to believe that life was sunshine and rainbows. That everyone had good in them and deserves a second chance. Who wanted to believe everything happens for a reason and that you can turn bad situations into good. He was the boy who knew what it was like to struggle.

I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.
