One day, Taaliah is surprised with unexpected news of her mums friend moving in with them with their children. Taaliah is not too keen on this but it would be selfish to say something after what they've been through.
Zane Declan, an 18 year old boy, had a traumatic past. He had been in one relationship before for a short period of 2 months with Sara Rome, who had a complicated family with divorced parents, dad and brother in jail and hating her dad and stepmother; after her brother had gotten out of jail, the two were forced to split. Zane never opened up rather everyone opened up to him. To everyone else Zane's breakup wasn't a big deal, his past wasn't a big deal and for him to open up was impossible.
For Taaliah, nothing had ever changed and she never wanted it to either. Everything was different when Zane declan stepped through her front door. The three things that mattered to her the most were destroyed.
but was the 'different' a good thing?
