Taren doesn't need anybody. She's other people's savior, but she doesn't need one herself. She's smart, she's different, she defies the stereotypes. After being brought up by a ever-changing group of nannies and staff, Taren has learned to be independent. Parker wasn't always a loner. But now that his mom's gone, he's struggling. His popularity is gone, and all he wants to do is hide. Parker wants to be alone, but that doesn't mean he's not lonely. After they both get stuck in Atlanta International Airport, each without enough money for a hotel room and food, they find each other. They're an unlikely pair, but when the two young teens have no one else to turn to, they turn to each other. A/N: This story is rated PG-13 for moderate (but fairly frequent) swearing.
