SYNOPSIS:
From the outside looking in Garrison
Davis seems like every other senior in high school. On the inside though, he’s
an emotional wreck promising to not love anyone. He chooses to protect himself
by vowing solitude. His dad is in prison for dealing drugs; his mother is a
recovering addict and an emotional mess. The only thing that brings him joy is
playing the drums and that feeling of being needed by his band. It is his
escape, his passion. No one gets hurt or disappointed. That is until he lays his eyes on Reese at
school. She is the exact example of what he cannot let himself get involved in.
He would do nothing but drag her down with him.
“I want to tell her and show her how
much I love her. I had loved her from the first time I spotted her in that
courtyard smiling but I can’t, I won’t. She deserves so much more than I can
offer. I’m the spawn of a drug dealer and an addict. I have never let myself
love another person and now… I love her
so much it hurts.”
Reese Owens is the exact opposite of
Garrison. Inside she’s beaming; growing up in a happy home and on the outside
she was a duck out of water. Her parents are the over protective set but are
finally loosening the jail bars. Sophomore year in high school, she has never
dated a boy and is envious of the social life her best friend Autumn Welch has.
She meets Garrison and is instantly attracted to him. He pulls away when she
pushes in. A whole new world opens up to Reese and she finds herself falling
into situations she can’t get herself out of. Making bad decision after bad
decision, she finds out the hard way on how life is full of choices. The one thing she wants more than anything is
Garrison’s attention which she doesn’t get in return.
“How is it possible to love someone
and keep it quiet? Never to utter those very words knowing he doesn’t feel the
same way. I finally fall in love and he only wants to be friends. He is
everything I have always wanted and he keeps me at a distance making sure we
don’t get too close. How can I ignore my feelings and act like I don’t have
them when we are around each other? How do I resist the urge to move my lips
towards his when he is talking to me?”
Garrison realizes he has to be honest
with Reese and tell her how he really feels before he loses her for good. Just
maybe, he will get love in return for the first time in his life. When he
finally convinces himself to come forth, a life changing event occurs that
could take away the only person in his life that truly loves him.
Is it too late? Does he get the
chance to tell her? And when he confesses does it matter?
