She, Scarlette, could give you a list of reasons defending her decision to end her life. She could go on and on about how it isn't fair that her foster family is looked down upon by the community, all because her brother is gay. She could tell you how hard it is to focus in school because of the bullies. She could tell you how much she feels like a burden to her foster family. She could walk right off the edge of her high school's roof, too. But she can't. From his house across the street, high-school drop out Gerard sees her on top of the school. He races over to her, and gives her an ultimatum: step away from the edge, or he'll jump after. How could she be responsible for his death? All he asks for is all of Spring Break, two weeks, to convince her that the world isn't better off without her. That there are so many things for her to live for. As she agrees not to end her life that night and to give him two weeks, she truly begins to live. Even when she's put to the ultimate test.

"Most people would think it strange if a person said they were happier being kidnapped than if they were at home. Nevertheless, that’s my opinion on life." Helena lives a terrible life on her family's farm, but once she escapes, she faces the real world, and it's not at all what she and her sister had hoped for. Thanks to a new band, called My Chemical Romance, she is able to find what true love is, regain her memory, and find her past. And maybe, perhaps, a little more insight into why she can influence everyone outside her family into loving her so much, and why those horrible 'demons' from her past are so insistent on finding and killing her and her family.
