"he saw the darkness in her beauty. she saw the beauty in his darkness." ~~~ Jaelyn Blake is known for being the freak who thinks her brother was taken away to Neverland, all because of one boy. Peter Pan. She hasn't seen her brother in a year. After leaving the mental institution, she plans to restart her life. But, anything can change in one night.

I want her to love even the most monstrous parts of me. I want her to love me for the madman I am."
