Burning

Drowning.
You can't escape drowning.
It's not something you can hide from.
I'm drowning and fear it is too late to be saved.
Drowning.
Hoping to taste the air once more.
Drowning.
No one sees.
No one cares.

Nia Drewer is an ordinary 17 year old girl, except for one thing:

The left side of her face is burnt.

When her house burnt down at the age of 10, some of the uncontrollable fire reached her before her parents could, leaving her ugly and scarred.

Life seemed pretty meaningless until she met one extremely attractive specimen.

Devan Woods.

Her life gets turned upside down and sideways, and she finds a new meaning to life.

And maybe, just maybe, from learning to love someone else, she could finally love herself.
