Her life was meant to be a song. That's what her mother used to say. And she believed it. For a time. Only, instead of the catchy, funky pop song with an edge it used to be; it's now looking to be more of a depressing country song, headed for sad elevator playlists.
But, beggars can't be choosers. Isn't that what they say?
Saint Emery dreams of escaping her county controlled, group home life. And she has a plan. It depends on her music. It got her in to the most exclusive prep school in town on a full ride. And it can certainly get her to college. And beyond.
And if she could somehow catch the eye or the heart of her best friend in the world, that would be even better.
But guys like Crew James, football god and son of a high profile senator, don't end up with girls from the group home.
Even if he is the very best thing in her disheveled little world.
Even if his father is the keeper of one of her darkest secrets.
Even if he is the reason for her senior year being the worst year of her life.
Even then. She would still take him. In any way she could.
Because her life is a song. And this one, doesn't have a happy ending without him.
