Hard to love: Miguel Diaz
Calliope swore no one would ever love her. Abusive father and absent mother made sure of that. Then the boy at school changed that. Miguel Diaz never expected anything good to happen again after getting kicked over the railing at school and resulting in him being in the hospital. Maybe it was all worth it if he met Calliope over it. "Well for answer two I change it to Miguel Diaz" "Things that are hot?" "You worry me sometimes" "Says the boy in the wheelchair" "All my friends are assholes now" "Jee thanks" "Are you stupid?" "Not academically, but yes I am. I really miss you " "I think my brain has a problem deciphering what's real and fake" "Ok" "Who did this to you?" Rating Mature for Abuse and Self harm. If that makes you uncomfortable I really recommend you don't read this book. Calliope suffers from extreme depression and a lot of mental problems that aren't going to just go away because a pretty boy showed up. #1 in cobrakai #1 in Migueldiaz #1 in miyagi-doComplete
