Some people say a good hot shower can cure anything. 

Hangovers. 

Loneliness. 

Heartache. 

Maybe it can to some extent, at least temporarily. But eventually the water runs cold and you're forced to step out and face reality once again. 

But what if the reality you're facing is nothing like you've ever seen? How do you cope with things you have so little experience with? Things that, until only recently, you didn't even believe existed. 

What do you do when you fall for someone you shouldn't have? How can you feel safe with someone, if your very life could be in danger just by being near them? 

How strong do you have to be to survive? And how stupid do you have to be to even get involved?

I was about to find out.

A/N: Hey all! So I've had this little snippet written for a year now so I thought I'd post it and just see what kind of interest it sparks. I've got a LOT of ideas and plans for this story, lots of notes in my notebook. Unfortunately, between working full time and now going back to school, I don't get much me time where I can just sit and brainstorm and write. But I reeeaaally want to write this story, so we'll see what happens. Only time will tell.
