Ellington Ratliff knew something was up when he was 14. Coughing, hacking, wheezing. It didn't make sense until his whole life was turned upside down by this stupid thing called cystic fibrosis. Sure, he had always been the social outcast. But with that stupid oxygen machine he had to drag around with him, he sure was getting more attention then he liked. From people that weren't necessarily... kind. He had learned to deal with it for 3 years. Then, he met her. ~ Rydel Lynch was what you considered 'popular.' Lots of friends. Lots of fame. She had to keep up her image as a good person, after all. She never noticed those people that were stumbling beneath her throne. Nor did she want to. She was assigned a school project to visit a patient at the nearest hospital and interview them. Then, she met him.

When Rydel starts to feel.... Feelings. She goes through some throwbacks of her times with Ratliff. While on the other hand, Ratliff is going through a hard time with his relationship with Kelly.

Rydel Lynch has a great life but she's just not happy at all. She may look like it but hey people can act happy. Ellington is the only one that sees she depressed, he try's to help but with all the ups and downs in their relationship will he be able to help or is it just too much?
