Danielle (Dani) Perry is a lesbian and has struggled with an eating disorder, depression and self-harm for a year. Her best friend, Alyson, knows about it and tries to help her stop but nothing ever helps. She was on a first-class flight to go to Disneyland for a senior trip with some other kids from her writing class and was really excited because her idol, Demi Lovato, was co-hosting The View that week. When Dani got on the plane, she was prepared to sleep through the whole flight until Demi Lovato actually ends up on the same flight and occupies the seat next to her.
