growing up Emma had a rough time, her parents were seperated and she was abused in both homes. Now, at the age of 17, Emma meets Charlie, a 19 year old "bad boy" who seems to be the only one to notice her pain and silent cries for help. Emma gets so caught up in feeling cared for and actually loved she doesn't realize how destructive her and Charlie have become. as she gets caught up in her new life, she wonders, is all the revenge and destruction she's causing deserved? no one had ever cared about her until Charlie, so why should she care about them? Why should it matter if anyone else lives or dies? No one card when she was in the position facing death.
