I watched one tragic incident destroy my family. Afterwards, I couldn't stand to watch the people I love not even be able to look at me anymore without pain in their eyes. So I moved away and started over in a different town at a new high school. I made a new life for myself, but I never really felt connected to anyone. I just went through the motions and tried to survive. I had a boyfriend that was too good to be true and friends that were fun and popular. But when Tristan moved in three houses down, he made me realize everything that I had been missing. He became a true friend and helped to heal me with our music. But I've started to feel something more for him and have seen him look at me in a different way too. I think we could become even closer than we already are, but can I risk getting hurt again?
