January is considered the perfect girl, with the perfect friends, the perfect looks, and the perfect personality.

She takes a break from school to go visit some family in a remote town somewhere in Nebraska. Though her friends pester her and prod at her she wont speak of anything that happened there, simply that it was 'fun' or 'you know relatives right?'

When one of her best friends, Timothy, gets an abusive girlfriend the anger she has built up for so long starts coming out in all the little ways, though puting on a fake smile isn't always the answer, she fears that if she doesn't, the consequences could be more severe than anything she's ever had to deal with.

Friends just being friends realize something is more than simply bothering January, and as she tries to push them away they only get closer, determined to find out what happened that could be so horrible. On top of all this when ever going 'home' is mentioned, even just the word, she seems to either brake in rage or sadness. The fake smile isn't enough to shield herself from them.

At the end of it all she is given ultimatum by her family in the mail, either come and live with them, or stay on her own here in Oregon, without help or support from anyone but her friends.All Rights Reserved
