Carter Avery looked down at her hands, trying to still them. This couldn't be happening. Not to her. Not now. Not when she wasn't even out of high school... Not like this...
 She looked at herself in the mirror and wiped away the black streaks of mascara that stained her face. Her eyes were still puffy though, and her nose still red. No one would look at her and see anything other than a mess. 
She stood up on shaky legs and walked numbly into her room, throwing the incriminating object that sealed her future into her waste bin. She sat on her bed and whispered, praying to anyone that would listen. 
"Please help me.. I don't know how to be a mother."

Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option. ***** Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
