"When are you gonna get it into your head, Kora? You can't fix everything. You can't change everyone. People are imperfect for a reason."
"Yeah?" I asked. "And some are more imperfect than others." I didn't want to look him in the eyes. But I had to. I was strong, unbreakable, reasonable. Not naïve, weak and hurt. But who was I kidding?
As tears welled up in my eyes, I realized something; maybe Liam wasn't the one who needed to be fixed. Or my mother. Maybe the whole time, I was the one who was damaged.

Beauty & Her Bruises
When you feel like your world comes crashing down, you just want to die. When you fall, you don't want to get up. When you're hit, you let it back. When you bleed, you watch it trickle down your body. When you're broken into millions of pieces, you let the pieces lay there. When you're dying inside, you don't make a noise. Zara is the girl in the back of the classroom who's afraid to voice her opinion against everyone else. She's afraid to look anyone in the eyes. She's even afraid to trudge down the halls of the school but she does it because she has two things keeping her there. 1) Liam. Her best friend. He's the reason that she's not dead, literally. She's never attempted to suicide but her classmates have attempted to kill her. He's the big, muscular teddy bear that every girl wants on their shoulders. The only reason he hangs with Zara? He has a secret that, if found out, he would be in Zara's position. 2) Father. Even though she has bruises from being beat, broken toes from heels, and mental scars from the names, it's much less worse than what father does to her. Of course, no one knows he does it. If Liam found out, he would be her knight in shining armor. Unfortunately when they have a falling out, Liam isn't there to save her when she needs him the most.Complete
