Cover by NaturallyFiona ~ "I don't know who's hitting or hurting you-" "Tyler, please drop it." "-but whoever it is shouldn't be hitting such a pretty girl." I looked down and blushed a full fledged blush. No one had ever called me pretty. The only time it was ever implied I was pretty was in kindergarden when a little boy said I looked like a daisy. ~ He was typical. She was not. His past was full of riches and one sad incident. Her past was now tainted with purple bruises and thin cuts. The only thing they had in common was their parent's deaths. Can all of that change when Holly gets assigned to him for a French project? Is there a deeper side to the simplicity of Tyler's life?
