"I just think that keeping people away is better. But when you're lying in bed, staring up at the calling, with absolutely no one to talk to...it can really get to you just how terribly lonely you are." ------ Life has never been easy for Allura Preston. With a father who bailed and a mother who's never home, Ally makes due with what she has. She lives her life and keeps everyone at arms length. That is until Larson Pearce enters her life. Ally's pessimistic views and low expectations for the world has worn down on a lot of people, but Lars is far from giving up. Can this stranger crack the wall that Ally has spent her whole life building? Or will this just be another failed attempt at trying to open up the porcelain frame that she's locked herself in? Through all the hardship she has gone through, can some guy really convince her that city lights can be stars too? ---- *extremely rough draft, still in the process of writing and editing*
