"I taste you on my lips and
              I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and
         the awful things you do
You're worse than nicotine."

~Panic! At The Disco

Will Raven be able to stop her heart from shattering to a thousand pieces? *** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft, and is, for the most part, unedited.
