Who would truly believe in love at first sight until they truly held it in their grasp begging for it to not leave them.
Especially when you have watched love disintegrate in front of your eyes.
Especially when your parents are as dysfunctional as your diet.

But before I even have time to react Ashley leans in and kisses me, with such passion I can't even breath,
"Colin!" I hear Amara scream, but I ignore her. I pause, remembering the promise I made two weeks ago...
"-I wont hurt her. I promise."
But it just feels so good.

16 year old Colin Olivers mom died four months ago, his father is a raging alcoholic and he was left to fend for himself in the world. And with the holes left empty in his heart he has gone to leaving girls as empty as him, but when he meets Kierra Daniels. Everything changes.
"What I was suppose to do? You left me, you went to Arizona." I shout at him as he storms away.
"Wait for me." He shouts and I go mute. Did he really just say that? Had he really expected me to just sit around?
"Oh yeah, just like you did for me." I finally say, finding my voice.
"You moved on Elijah and it crushed me," I start as I get emotional and my voice breaks.
"You think I don't know? You think that I wasn't hurt? I spent ten months holding onto you and even after that I still won't let you go, I still can't let you go." Elijah flips, shocking me.
"You are everything Scarlett...and I am nothing without you." he says, eyes liquid as he stares intently at me. I notice how close we were to each other now. His hand on my waist now and I step in closer to him, heart racing like crazy.
"I am nothing without you," he repeats quieter, leaning in towards me.
