Disclaimer: I don't own Archie, COTT or Scars by Papa Roach

Archie was sick of nature. He'd been really into the wild as a child. He had befriended every animal he'd come across. Until one.He had come across a Timber wolf when he was seven, and tried to rub its belly.

My scars remind me, that the past is real.

That was the last time he had been injured. After that his Achilles genes kicked in, and he stopped feeling any serious physical pain.

"I tear my heart open, just to feel.

Emotional pain, however, that was another matter.

Maybe that was why he let himself open his heart to Atlanta.
