Laken- I live a life of hell. The abuse I get from my father, a mother who doesn't care and being bullied at school has me wanting to just end it all. The only way I can deal with it is through isolation and self-harm. But how long can I live in this darkness before it swallows me whole? Blake- I'm fresh out of Juvie, and I'm trying to let go of the dark past that haunts me daily. When I see Laken she steals my breath. I see the darkness and pain in her eyes that match my own, but I won't let the darkness take her. I'm going to make her see the light in herself that's slowly pulling me out of my own darkness. I couldn't save my mom, but I'm determined to save her. I will do anything to save Laken. From her darkness, and from herself.
PROLOGUE
Love can hit you when you least expect it. It could also be a soft easy wind that caresses you and gets stronger over time till it absorbs into your body and heart. Other times it can hit you like a gale-force wind and take every breath you will ever have, and breathe life into the person who took it in the first place. Laken stole my breath. She was my gale-force wind, and I will gladly give her every breath I have just to keep her safe, alive, and mine. If I have to live without her then I don't want my breath. I don't want anything but her. I will go to hell and back to get her from the grips of death.
And as I kneel on the bathroom floor with her blood covering my hands, she has stolen my breath once again, because I can't breathe. I can't move. They took her out of my arms and I'm frozen in this nightmare that's on a loop in my mind where I'm seeing the light slowly leave her eyes. I need that gale force wind again because I will die without it. I will die without her.
