She wasn't always like this, sometimes it came and passed, but it would always come back. like a nightmare, it never went away... it just dimmed. Sometimes it would get so bad she would lay awake at night screaming and crying for it to go away but yet she was as silent as a drop of blood on a cold winter night. She had been hospitalized for it but they couldn't help her. She was too stubborn. They would ask her, "Ava? How would you rate your depression this morning?" most times she just wouldn't respond, but when she did she would tell them what they wanted to hear. she could always get out of it. So she did.

Sometimes the darkness just has a tendency to consume you with secrets and lies. It pulls you down into the depths of itself and further away from the happiness and sunshine you once possessed. That’s pretty much what happened to me. First there’s Jase. He’s my best friend. If anything, he’s been the only life preserver I have to keep my afloat. Without him, I’d be nothing but consumed by darkness. Then there’s Lyss. She’s my other best friend. I love her to death, really. She’s amazing. After her is Hunter. He’s my boyfriend. He has a secret, though. A secret that has forced me to lie to everyone, even Lyss and Jase. Keeping the secret and lying to them has only brought me further into the dark. It spawned my own secrets and lies. My life changed from being something that I loved to dreading waking up every day. It also doesn’t help that I suffer depression. Now I’m fighting just to make it through. It’s getting harder and harder every day, and it doesn’t help that I’m practically drowning in all of the secrets and lies that have become a part of my life. But, what can I do? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, and hope that I survive. *The only reason this is rated R is because of the language. It drops the F-bomb a lot...*Complete
