Purple Hearted Kisses

Maya Roland wasn't one to take crap from people, considering the fact that she got enough of it from home. Trust me, she wasn't some kind of tough girl- she just didn't like being the butt of a joke or crying in front of others. She was basically a brick wall.
Nick must've walked into her life for a reason, right? No one else could make her feel so small and so big at the exact same time. No one else could make her smile and cry without any kind of explanation. And that was BEFORE she even had truly talked to him.
Maybe if Nick could have seen her the way she needed him to...maybe then he could have saved her.
But no way. Maya Roland had been abandoned from the beginning and never needed saving from anyone, especially a boy. So what made this time any different.
