"I'm going to break your heart"

"then break it. Aurora I would rather fall in love with you and have you fuck me over a thousand times than picture a life without you. I would rather you rip my heart out, stomp on it, spit on it, and tell me to go fuck myself than have you walk away and never come back. Aurora, I never believed in love. I never understood how someone could be completely and utterly consumed by another person, until I met you."

"Aurora May, I'm in love with you"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aurora is slowly being consumed by her thoughts; constant impulsiveness, unpleasant ideas, overwhelming numbness. But, the part that scares her the most isn't the thoughts themselves, that would make anybody's gut wrench, a grown mans skin crawl, no. It would be her acceptance of the idea of finally drowning within herself and being more than okay with it; welcoming it...that's what scares her.

Chase is learning how to adjust to his new life. Going from living in a one bedroom apartment with his father, in Downtown Brooklyn, to moving in with his stepmother, in Upper East Side Manhattan, isn't easy. Switching from an "I do what I want, when I want" attitude, to feeling like the smallest of mistakes will cause your family to crumble, makes him feel suffocated. 

What happens when the girl, who seems to have it all, meets the boy, who used to have nothing?  What happens when minuscule glances turn to feather-like kisses and gentle touches? What happens when two "opposites" start to realize they have more in common than they once thought? When two rich kids, both struggling in different ways, start to find comfort within each other?
