ONE MOMENT. ONE PAUSE. ONE WHOLE NEW LIFE.
Declan seems to have it all: a family that loves him, friends he's known for years, a beautiful girlfriend he would go to the ends of the earth for.
but there's something in Declan's past that just won't go away, that pokes and scratches at his thoughts when he's at his most vulnerable. Declan feels as if nothing will take away the pain that he has buried deep inside for so long. so he makes the only decison he thinks he has left: the decison to end it all.
or does he? as the train approaches and Declan teeters at the edge of the platform, two versions of his life are revealed. in one, Declan watches as his body is destroyed and the lives of those who loved him unravel. in the other, Declan pauses before he jumps. and this makes all the difference.

Cale Henituse, an 18 year old red-haired teenager, suddenly fell into darkness after the beating that happened to him. He wandered through the darkness as far as he could for a very, very long time.
