Synopsis
Declan He was supposed to be the one that understood. The one that was different. But he's just like everyone else. It doesn't really matter, though. At school, I'm the weird outcast, and he's the big popular jock. We were doomed from the start. And yet, I keep finding myself drawn to him, no matter how much I don't want to be. I need to stay away, but I don't think I can. Javier He was all I had in the world. Mi muñequito. Then he threw it all away. So I wiped my hands of him. Or I tried. But he crept his way back into my brain. Back into my life. I need to leave him in the past, but I don't think I can.
