Dead in your eyes (Aaron Carpenter)

I looked at him from across the room. Aaron. Happy, handsome, smart. The guy every girl would fall for. Including me. I'm Daniella, 5 foot 3, jet black hair, enormous blue eyes. I sound pretty right? I'm not. My eyes look like they're gonna fall out of my skull. I don't have any friends. I live with my abusive mother. When she's home she'll drink alcohol and physically and verbally abuse me and my brother. But when she's sober, she doesn't even remember what happened. She's a totally different person. My brother was only 11. His name is Justin. He didn't deserve to be treated like this. I have never had any friends or even a boy friend. I'm scared of intimacy and making a commitment. Every time I get attached to something, it hurts me. My father was my best friend. He was depressed. He killed himself. I've had suicidal thoughts. I cut. No one knows that all of my feelings are bubbling up inside of me. One day I'll just explode and be gone. There won't be any difference in the world once I'm gone. I think about hanging myself, jumping off a cliff, overdosing. But I'm too scared of what would happen. No one at my school wants me there, not even the teachers. Except Aaron Carpenter. He's actually nice to me. When we have to have partners he always picks me. He smiles at me, laughs with me, and he's not embarrassed to talk to me.
