Still We Rise
She always made her life seem good to all her friends, so no one ever cared to take a deeper look into what it's liked behind closed doors. Everyday was a nightmare They always kept the themselves, that was until they noticed how the girl with ocean blue eyes was changing. They observed from a distance, and priced together what was changing her. When the four get paired together for a project, it allows them to be who they really are, and ignore the bad. But when the bad becomes worse, will she choose to let them in or will she shut them out completely? <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> DUAL POVS <><><><><><> Start date: 4/24/2023 End date:6/2/2023Complete
