He was the hockey star. I was an outcast.

He was best friends with my stepbrother, that same stepbrother who hated me.

His two parents loved him. My mom was a junkie. My dad barely knew me.

Years passed.

I got my life together.

Cut went onto NHL stardom.

Then there was a text.

I was drinking.

There was a party.

Cut was there...

I loved Cutler Ryder since the first moment I saw him.
