She was broken. But day by day, she was slowly healing. 
She just didn't know it yet.

===

'It will be ok,' they said.
'You will be fine,' they said.
'Everything will heal with time,' they said.

What they didn't know was that underneath her calm exterior, Del Travis was losing a battle. A battle she fought every second in order to keep a hold on her emotions: her fears, her helplessness, and her insecurities. 

Del has gone through more heartbreak than anyone should know in a lifetime. Haunted by the scars of her past, Del no longer believes happiness can be achieved and vows to never let her heart wander that far off again.

But when a certain someone enters her life, Del might just see how wrong she really is. After all, sometimes it only takes the right person to heal a broken heart. 

===

This is a story about love. 
About the love in a broken family trying to fix itself. 
About the love between two best friends.
About the love between a boy and a girl. 
This is a story about love that runs deeper than blood.

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.
