This is a story based on Ed Sheeran's songs "The A-Team" and the collaboration he did with Mikill Pane, "Little Lady". Alice Collins is a budding teenager who is shipped off to her Uncle Klaus in London for a better education. Little does she know that her uncle decides to formulate another plan for her where she discovers the appalling fact that he's a pimp. Trapped with nowhere to go, Alice is forced to work for him, unless she wants to risk her mother's death by the hand of her own uncle. This is her story of being a prostitute and a punching bag against her own will, and suffering the effects of being a drug addict in the process.

I'm sorry if this story is bothering you. But if it is, it's clearly not meant for you. "What's depression like?" A friend once asked. I didn't know what to say. Because when people ask you things like "What's wrong" and "How are you?" and "Can I help you?" I never know what to say. I end up lying. I end up answering "nothing" and "Fine" and "No". Though what I really want to answer is "Everything" and "I'm not okay" and "Yes, please". What depression is like? Writing what it's like is easier than telling what it's like. Only a few will totally understand what it's like. And for those people I wrote this.

Ed. Alice. She left him like a sunburn. Who was she? His songs tell a story about her. She isn't that much of a mystery.
