She's a fifteen-year-old girl who killed her "father" in self-defense and lied about it to the police.

What no one knows is that - That shy and quiet girl has her own demons, that she cries herself to sleep every night and that she isn't any different from that troubled teen at school that drowns drowns his problems with drugs, recklessness, bitterness and truancy.

What her family does not realize is that, she never really recovered fully and that she only got a lot better in hiding her pain and smiling through it. Sometimes she wonders, how can anyone be surrounded by friends and yet still feel so lonely? She realized that in the sea of familiar faces she call her friends, there us really no one to confide in. She's dying slowly on the inside everyday and no one seems to notice. Or do they?
