After finding out the heartbreaking news that her rich father cheated on her mother; Beryl, followed by her mother and sister, move from their huge Chicago home to a small apartment in Santa Monica to start a new life, and with the help of a crazy eccentric stylist, a girl afraid of her own shadow, and a mysterious boy who keeps disappearing, Beryl might just break out of her cocoon and finally become the beautiful butterfly she was always meant to be...At least that's the plan!

"No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
