Maryalind Barnes never would have thought that after two years of living with her father would she find herself in a cold, emotionless bubble. She never thought she would have turned out to be so heartless. She used to be so smart, beautiful, and kind; everyone loved her. Now, she was unrecognizable. Worst of all, she never thought she would be a victim of rape and abuse. Kale Jones never would have thought after all his life living in New York would he move to Colorado. He never thought he wanted to change his player ways, either. But when Maryalind catches his eye, he knew he must have her, even if she didn't want him. Maybe it's a cliché love story switched around. Maybe opposites attract and love really does conquer all. But some people are too far gone to be saved, and if you try saving them, sometimes you end up the one hurt. [ Completely finished as of August 5, 2014 ]
