adventure carefree heart helpinghand helpless love nerd new opposites outcast sheltered

For a girl who doesn't have, what many call "a life", she sure got screwed for trying to be nice. 

Now Mari Hart isn't a just some ordinary nerd that screams over her numerous obsessions like she's insane, she has a heart to go with the geeky personality. In fact her favorite spot to volunteer would be her community homeless shelter, Come Inn and Stay. The atmosphere is filled with tragic, heartfelt stories and numerous amounts of gold hearts disguised by the stench of alcohol and cigarettes. On a late night volunteering, she finds a boy beaten and bruised outside the shelters doors, but instead of walking by him, like all the other bystanders, Mari gets him in and cares for him. This simple act of kindness changes her life forever.

Ryan Hills hasn't had much luck in his life: dropped out of high school, has giant family problems, and got kicked out of his house. All that aside he would do anything for his sister, Maggie, and I mean ANYTHING. While trying to make some money, Ryan got himself in some unspeakable trouble that ended with him getting abandoned at God knows where. Though because of this he may have hit his luckiest break.All Rights Reserved
