Back Story:
This story was written when I was 17. I was going through a lot in life. It was physically noticeable to everyone and teachers even got concerned. At the time, I had taken literature as one of my courses. My literature teacher was very supportive and kept this story confidential. Don't worry, there is a good ending.
