"Chase... I can't do this anymore," my voice cracks as I finally break down in sobs, "he wants me to be someone that I'm not and I.. I-I can't handle it."

Almost instantly he is in front of me, taking my face into his hands. Using the pads of his thumbs he wipes my tears away delicately.

"Birdie, I don't care if you're broken or not and neither should he. Because if he won't give you the love you deserve, broken parts and all, then he doesn't deserve you."

He's the bad boy of the school. However, he's not so much a bad boy. He's simply misunderstood. Only, he's been through quite a lot, just like Megan. In fact, they have more in common than Megan knows. When Jared and Megan's worlds collide (quite literally), Megan finds herself drawn to the boy that annoys her to no end, teases her, but makes her feel happy and protected, something almost unknown to her. Megan must make a choice in the end: Does she take a chance with the familiar boy, or does he become another "What if?" in her life?
