Just Bent

"Something so completely beautiful shouldn't hurt you so completely. Sometimes it just does. I met her when my life was falling apart. She was falling apart too, but she picked up my pieces instead. Being good with words helps. Being bad with feelings makes thinking of the words I should have said... hurt."

Cole Martin is lost. It feels like he's always been lost, between a past that haunts his every step, and an unsure future with no clear answers. He's never had anyone that made him feel like he could be more then his circumstances, and in small towns, no one seems to have a choice when it comes to remembering. No one ever forgets. There is always someone there to remind you that there is no coming back from your sins, or the sins of your father. Until Cole meets Kaye. And then everything changes.
