The new girl. I didn’t even see her until it was too late. She saw me, though. The worst parts of me. My fists and my rage. It’s the only face I ever show, the one way I can greet the world without getting hurt again. I’m a fighter, and I’m scared. Too scared for a girl like her. But the moment I see her, I can’t stop all the feelings that try to churn to the surface. Whitney brings them out in me so easily. I try to stay away from her, to tamp down my emotions. But I can’t. And when I realize she may be just as broken as me … I finally see that her broken pieces and mine will make both of us whole.
