My life had been set out for me since my birth. Professional basketball player? I didn't even get a chance. Why?
    Helen.
I was popular because of some fake rumor, I didn't care I had friends right?
Wrong.
I had a wonderful and supporting family but that all changed because of Helen.
Some could say she ruined my life.
Did she?
I still don't know. But without her I wouldn't of met Carly. Carly was my world.
Guess my world was meant to fall apart.  
What happens when life gets too hard to handle? 
You burn.
A rage inside you finally surfaces after being pushed down and tucked away. This was the cause of my burnt soul. I was damaged. I am still damaged. I feared no one would be able to put me out and lead me away from the destructive path I had set out for myself. It might of been because of Helen it might of been just fate. 
I don't regret anything.
-----I just need someone to tame the fire I have been building inside.-----
