Behind the Innocent Smile
Emma Chase. She may seem as a normal high school girl with a fiery spirit. Always smiling and laughing to jokes told by her friends. But was it real? Was the smile real and not fake, the laughs true and not forced. We don't know. Nobody does. Emma is so used to hiding her emotions and putting on a facade that in her old school everyone thought her facade was the real her. She had to live up to the standards her facade made and live in the lie that was "Chase". Back then she was reckless, daring and wild to the point where it got out of hand. She had built herself a reputation that didn't fit her. Everyone has secrets. Whether or not you tell anyone them is your choice, but not for Emma. She has too many to count and too many that she drowns in them, but she stays afloat because she knows the burden that they are and she's built herself to carry it all. She's learned to ignore the scars and demons and hide her secrets. Now she gets a restart at life. In a new city where no one knows or heard of her or rather "Chase". With these new faces will she hide behind this facade of her's or allow herself to be her. Will she have come this far only to have this chance ripped from right under her feet because of her old habits? Will Emma find her way back and defeat her demons? With lots of alcohol and a few bruises, here and there, along the way; Will she learn to let her walls fall and face what lies behind them? Will history repeat itself? You'll have to read to find out. To know what happened in her past for her to hide. To find out what is behind the innocent smile of Emma Chase. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• "Your smile can be described as a lot of things, Chase.
