~ Synopsis ~
Some people search
their whole life for a connection -- a reason to be here, and feel life in all
of its intensity.. But what if you never wanted to experience that emotion?
Jasper lived his life coldly determined never to fall in love. Some people
impact your life in a moment, and will stay in your life forever from then on.
What if an irresistible force crashes into you -- not once, but twice, and from
a totally unexpected source? Jasper must overcome past demons that are still
plaguing him and his friends. He must face future choices he never knew he
would have to make. Sexual chemistry can come in all forms. When the lines blur
between friendship, love and lust, a new darkness finds its way into their
lives. Either these relationships survive or die forever broken ……in The Broken
Parts of Us

Jasper’s nightmares, and the frantic call from
River telling me Michael pushed her down the stairs; her sobbing cries telling
me he was Danny’s, left me really not feeling up for company tonight.
Danny still haunts us after six long years. I would never
change the family I ended up with from the rubble of Danny’s earth-shattering
actions, but I'm so angry that they're still suffering, and would give
anything to take away the damage he inflicted.
People don’t realise trauma stays with you. It may fade,
it may become easier to cope with, but it’s like scar tissue; it will always be
there and no amount of healing can rid you of it.
Not all scars are visible. Sometimes the worst scars are
the ones you can’t see; they’re the ones that hold your mind hostage in
nightmares. They’re the ones that manipulate your emotions, making guilt crawl
into your mind, polluting reasonable thought. Guilt can be so hard to live
with; consuming and painful.
People think death is the worst thing that can happen but
it’s not, it’s the living that other people have to go on doing once someone we
love is taken from this world. It’s the what ifs that constantly
replay in our minds. It’s the did they know I loved them? What
would they be like if they were here now? How do I get up today and live with
this agony?
The only thing that makes it slightly easier is having
family to live for, to love, to get up and go on coping for. River has become
like a sister to me. She fills a void left by my own sister; her death still
plagues me and I feel responsible for her taking her life. River and I share
this same grief. We are bonded by a shared misery; a painful sorrow that is a
part of us.
Sammy has become like the brother I never had. We share a
love for River, but also we are survivors. We have both looked the devil in the
eye and lived to breathe another day.
