Breathe. {Rydellington AU}
Ellington Ratliff knew something was up when he was 14.
Coughing, hacking, wheezing.
It didn't make sense until his whole life was turned upside down by this stupid thing called cystic fibrosis.
Sure, he had always been the social outcast.
But with that stupid oxygen machine he had to drag around with him, he sure was getting more attention then he liked. From people that weren't necessarily... kind.
He had learned to deal with it for 3 years.
Then, he met her.

Rydel Lynch was what you considered 'popular.'
Lots of friends. Lots of fame.
She had to keep up her image as a good person, after all.
She never noticed those people that were stumbling beneath her throne.
Nor did she want to.
She was assigned a school project to visit a patient at the nearest hospital and interview them.
Then, she met him.
