Beyond Our Lies

Juniper Matthews was the girl who would put on one façade after another, desperately trying to please every person she came across. Because of this false personality, nobody ever stopped to think about what happened behind her closed doors.

Yet, that was undoubtedly what she needed most. To the residents of their snobby town, she had a loving family, genuine friends, and a great future ahead of her. Except, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

All the people in her life pulled her by her limbs every which way, and she allowed it. She was so naïve and blinded by manipulation, it began destroying her mentally.

However, when Juniper started to become closer to a mysterious boy along with his friend group, she changed her life forever. Confidence, acceptance, and rebellion can be used to effectively describe this friendship. Though it would soon bring on backstabbing, blackmail, and utter chaos in her life.

Would this friendship still be worth it if in the end, all Juniper had was them?
