A Text Away

It started out with a break up. Then it started out with numbers. Started with amusement and boredom. It started with silent laughter and a small smile here or there. It started out with late night conversations or pictures of coffee. It started with worry that ended up with promises. Started with many questions and answers. Then it ended up in worry and pain. An argument and three days of silence. Ended up with feelings they didn't want.
Allison was in a relationship for two years, before it all crumbled at her feet. Before he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Superhero movies never felt the same, music was stupid and she found sleeping alone was depressing. So Ally finds herself staying up on days on end, binge watching random youtube videos and wondering what she could've done differently. But she tries her best to get to the person she was before. Well until she ends up talking to her brother's best friend, a man she never met before.
Liam never thought about ending his relationship until one day he found his girlfriend cheating on him. Until their fight ended up with her getting hit by a car and leaving her crippled. Something her family blamed him for. So Liam tried to distract himself with writing music and working on tattoo commissions for days on end. But when Liam's game night with the boys throws his best friends sister in his hands. He's more than happy to keep both of them distracted from the heartbreak ripping at their chests. He's happy to forget the world for a second if he could make her chuckle. To make his feelings disappear.
So what happens when two broken people meet? What happens when a simple text can flip a whole life?
