"God... I don't ask for much. If you could, please take this pain away. I can't feel this anymore. I can't go on like this anymore..." Stevie grew up in a broken home. An abusive father and manipulative mother created a stonecold, heartless beauty. Her walls were so high that no one even tried knocking them down. That was until she opened her gates to someone she thought she could trust. Then she couldn't get them out. No matter how hard she fought to rid herself of them. Stevie is in an abusive relationship. She's drowing in her own grief and disappointment. Stevie didn't think she'd allow someone to hurt her anymore, but she did. She couldn't escape. She couldn't find a reason to continue. Conrad was sleeping with every girl that walked his way. Breaking hearts left and right. All the while, it was an attempt to rid himself of the hazel eyes that haunted his dreams. The girl he hasn't stopped thinking about in 5 years. They both come back to their hometown for an escape from reality. What happens when those hazel eyes meet his again? Will he let her slip away again? Or will Conrad finally step up and confess his feelings for the beautifully broken girl of his dreams.
