Behind The Silence

Watching. That's all he does, Hale, that is. He just sits there, never talking. Never. People are spreading tons of rumors about him, yet he isn't aware of them... Some say he killed all of his family, some that he has raped 5 people, some that he ran away from a mental institute. He gets bullied every day by Alex, Jack, Echo, Lace,Wolfie, Ezra and Mac. Crawling, near death and leaving a trail of blood behind him isn't that abnormal for him to arrive home like, only to cry all night till he can finally cradle himself to sleep. Not only does he receive this abuse from his peers, but his parents too as they believe the death of their only valued daughter was all his. Even though he is completely clear of the crime, as Jack burned her alive, he still blames himself for being fast enough. One day when Alex asks Hale to come over on a regular basis to help him with a school project, how will things go? Will Hale finally get who he wants? Will the life that Hale has put so much effort into hiding be kept in the dark, or will Alex unravel him?
