Sometimes I think too much. Sometimes I feel too much. Sometimes I say too much. But sometimes I can't think. Sometimes I can't feel. Sometimes I can't speak. I don't know what I'm doing till I've done it. I don't know who I've hurt until they're gone. Things don't make sense anymore.
16 year old Peyton Hanna has been a patient in the Sinclair Psychiatry Unit since she was 13. Diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies, she's on lockup. Isolated from any normal outside experiences, she's determined to find a way out and venture into the world she can barely remember. When she finally escapes to what she thinks will be peace, she finds chaos. Until she meets Spencer, a boy she meets in an alleyway. Any simmer of joy, hope, and happiness seemed just like a dream, until they met. With the help of her trouble minded best friend Maxine, all she wants to do is explore. But the dangers are unexpected and betray beyond hurtful. Was Peyton only in the unit for what she felt? Or have they been keeping a secret from her? One that could cost her life that she has now found to finally have a purpose?

Well, I knew he cared about me, but I didn't know he cared about me. It makes sense. I shrugged. "I don't know," I replied back. "Well, I do. I care about you so much." He whispered. His next move surprised me. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my lips that lasted about two seconds before backing away. I looked at the ground, shocked. Oh my god. Aiden just kissed me.
