While they help each other deal with their struggles and cope with their new lives they find themselves falling in love with the first person that they feel understands them and their stories. In the midst of helping each other face the darkness and find their individual ways out of it Dylan and Ellie manage to break down each others walls and fall for each other making facing things much more manageable. Together the two discover no matter what life throws at you having someone who understands you by your side makes everything that much easier.
