Until by so miracle at age 16 you had met a boy. Your first ever boyfriend. He was at the same college as you, hence how you met.

Simon Riley. He was a total loner, frequently getting into fights. His nose broken several times. There was rarely a week he didn’t get in some form of trouble.

He never talked about his home life, or why he acted out. Even though you desperately wanted to know the answer.

He was very clingy and dependent on you, and you needed him like oxygen now. To Escape the years of isolation.
