Sadness that spreads like wildfire.
Well, at least that's what everyone else thought. You never really know someone until you spend a day in their shoes. You don't know how it feels to go through her pain. After her sister died, her mother abandoned her. She left her with the drunken batard whom she must call father. You don't know how it feels to be beaten day after day, and day after day have to hide the bruises and scars. No one knows how bad she has it. They just add onto the pain. People pass her in the halls, shoving her into the lockers because she is simply the most vulnerable. They call her names and taunt her about her past. Everytime she thinks about what happened, what happened to her sister, she dies even more inside. She screams to be let free from the pain, until one day she has had enough. All she has to do is pull the trigger. She hesitates, waits just one more day and meets her first love. How will this affect her? Will things ever get better in her future? She doesn't know, and right now, she doesn't care either. All she has ever wanted was to be loved, to be cared for. Now that she has it, will she lose it? Will she find out who she really is, who she was meant to be? Or will she waste it? Will she go back to the thing she does best? Cutting and self hate, that's all she knows. She knows nothing more other than she is worthless. No one has ever called her beautiful, never made her feel like she belonged. Never saw her smile or laugh. She has always been alone until now.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
