*COMPLETE* "You could stay with me." Delilah Lasting- or 'Lilo', to the few who are close to her- all but gave up her whole life when her father fell fatally ill. These days, she spends most of her time as his carer: managing his medicine and the housework, all the while balancing home duties with her studies. Nobody helps her- not another family member, and certainly not her old friends, including the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart. Enter Khan Farid- the mysterious, charismatic new boy at school. Khan is as charming as it gets... on the outside. Inside, he hides a multitude of secrets that could threaten his family's security, and even their lives. Following a disastrous first meeting, Lilo wants to avoid Khan at all costs, but when the two get roped into doing lights for the school production together, this resolution is harder than ever to maintain. Especially as Khan seems to be the one person in her life who actually seems to care. But worlds keep Lilo and Khan separate, and they're both soon to learn that no matter how much you love a person, it means nothing if you don't understand them. Both suffer within their life experiences- but that kind of connection only lasts as long as both sides keep trying. Will their struggle to maintain their relationship prove that two broken hearts don't make a whole? Or will it be the other way around?
