"All my life I’ve known nothing but pain and darkness. All my life I’ve refused to speak a word. Ever since I was seven…ever since the accident. It was all my fault. So why speak when I have nothing good or hopeful to say?" All throughout Taylor’s life he’s been ridiculed, pushed around and beaten down—both physically and emotionally. Ever since he was a small kid, his family has treated him like he was a plague due to the ‘accident’ that killed him and his older brother’s parents. Even at sixteen, he still hasn’t spoken a word to anyone because of the trauma of witnessing their deaths. This especially doesn’t help with the fact that his aunt and uncle decided to move him half way across the country to a new school. Being mute, broken-hearted, and a complete outcast to his new school isn’t winning him any friends either. It’s only until the day that he decided he’s going to end his life... that his life gets a fresh beginning of something new. Something unexpected and life-changing. It’s the day that he becomes friends with Hunter Skyes—the high school football star, number one jock, heart-throb, and completely the most charming and sweetest guy Taylor has ever met in his life. The moment their eyes met was the moment both their lives intertwined for the better.

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.
