-

A puff of a smoke, and all goes numb,
Life's a terrible joke,
A shot of whiskey, and there's no hope
With the swear of your pinky,
Promise me one thing,
Don't ever leave me,
Because even dying flowers yearn for a sunlight's kiss

Hazel Madison doesn't understand what it means to be loved. Not just by boys, but by friends and family. Her rough past only makes it difficult for her to allow any opportunity of that to arise. But, in comes in a strange new boy and all seems to fall away. He isn't as rough with her like the others are, but he doesn't exactly seem all that safe either. Only when she starts falling hard will she see how badly the damage he has done.
