Meet 18 year old, Ali Reed. She was smart, beautiful and very caring and loving. She lived within the dorms at John Hopkins University with her best friend, Alissa Val.
However she didn't see herself as a beautiful young lady. All she saw was a 'disgusting fat pig'. She wanted to die. She wanted to leave. Just to fall asleep and never wake up again.
Meet 20 year old, Manu Hart. He was handsome, smart, and pretty much known as a 'player'. Everyone adored him. Girls would fall head over heels for him and let's just say the boys would be jealous but would still show respect to him.
He was perfect and living the life he has always wanted. And he still wanted more and more. His life was drama free and he had no one to worry about expect for himself and ones he cared about. He had everything he wanted.
Until one day, they are both assigned to work together for a project.

Ana
Life as a child was amazing. Your weight didn't matter. Your clothes didn't matter. Your parents money didn't matter. All that mattered was who you were going to play with, but that's all gone now. My sister hates me, my mom has no time for me, and my dad, well he left me. My life has been one whirlwind after another. Except I'm content with it, till it all comes crashing down. Every television, billboard, and magazine is covered with models. Models that are supposed to be role models, for us. Perfect face, perfect body, perfect life. I have none of those things. All my life I've never cared that I was over weight, and didn't wear makeup. Who knew a boy could change all of that? That's when I decided to starve myself, force myself to look like the girls in the magazines. Who knew all I was doing was slowly killing myself? Life likes to play games, except my game is called Ana and I don't think I will survive. (unedited) Cover by: MadHatter_25Complete

Weathered Love
"You're not a burden," he said. "OK," I said, again, trying to play it off like I didn't care. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up the façade.
