15 year old Riley didn't expect to have a life changing experience on another regular Monday night. After her abusive, drunken father comes home from a party one night, he drives her out of the house. With nowhere to go, and no one to turn to, she heads downtown to clear her mind. After getting jumped by gang members, 3 people save her, and that was the beginning of a scary, exciting adventure in which she rightfully figures out where she belongs, and a place she can finally call home.
Riley is that kind of girl that doesn't give a fuck about school or about what others think, that loves to do her own thing and that always gets in trouble.
But that all changes when she's forced to work at the local children hospital. At first she doesn't like it at all. She thinks it's boring. Until she meets Justin, a 16 year old boy who's been in a coma for almost a year.
He has no one left. Everything he ever had is gone. No one believes in him anymore. They don't think he'll wake up. But for some reason Riley believes in him. She doesn't give up on him. Riley has never cared about anyone, yet she cares about that cute 16 year old boy who she just met.
"Why didn't you give up on me when everyone else did? Why do you care about me when no one else does? Why did you believe in me when no one else did?" I sighed and looked into his eyes.
"Because everyone deserves to live no matter what. Everyone deserves someone who cares about them. Everyone deserves to be loved. That's why, Justin."
