Dylan had just moved in on tour with her older brother, Alan Ashby. She has been staying with him ever since the incident with her mother a year ago. Her mother has left her bruised and broken, inside and out. She is basically a walking corpse. All she ever feels is the feeling of nothing. Numbness.
Dylan has built walls to guard her fragile state, but what happens when the man behind the screams in Of Mice & Men, Austin Carlile, tries to knock them down? Will he get past the walls, or will he end up getting hurt with the broken pieces of her glass heart?

Austin Carlile seems to have it all. He's the frontman of successful band Of Mice and Men, and is head over heels in love with his best friend Alan Ashby. Carlile suffers from Marfan Syndrome, a genetic disorder of connective tissue. Although there is no cure, most people manage to live a normal life. The disease causes heart issues as well. The disease has been wearing down his heart valves. Austin's had several surgeries to fix his problems. What happens when they stop working? What happens when his friends and family find out he's dying? What will happen to Alan?
