Rosalie Burke was a beautiful girl, but life seemed to have it out for her. She barely graduated high school, and at the age of seventeen, her father kicked her out, only to let her come back a month later. She and her father had a horrible relationship, but she couldn't move in with her mother because she had other responsibilities. When she finally couldn't take it anymore, and she was about to be homeless, she moved to LA to live with her mother. Her mother had a small apartment, but it was enough room for her and her daughter. Rosalie felt destroyed and broken, but her mother promised to help her get back everything she had lost. While handling all this heartache, Rosalie locks herself up in the apartment and won't go out to do anything. Her mother doesn't know what to do, but she knew her baby was hurting. One day, when she was going out to pick up dinner, she runs into her neighbor, Evan Buckley. Buck was a nice guy, and rather handsome, but the woman was almost sure that he had a boyfriend. Since she couldn't be too sure though, she decides to invite him over to dinner. She wants her daughter to open up, even if it was just to a boy that lived across the hall. Buck wasn't sure where he was in any form of relationship, but when he met the beautiful blonde with sad eyes across the hall, he knew his feelings were more conflicted than they had ever been. He just needed to figure things out, not to mention, introduce her to the other man that he was confused about...
