It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.

Life is like a puzzle. When you can put the pieces together you get that brief moment of being able to feel everything, to hear everyone. I'm different. When I click pieces together it isn't a brief moment, its a gift that I'll keep forever. And I fit pieces together a lot. So welcome to my life. Make yourself comfy because my life sure isn't.
