Evelynn wasn't what people made her out to be. People painted pictures of a freak in their heads, and slapped her name on it, just because that's what they thought she was. An attention seeking, emo, freak. 

She was a sweet girl. A smart girl. A gentle girl. A quiet girl. 

What those people didn't know, was that words hurt a lot more than they thought they did. The smallest sentence could be the reason that they went home and cried themselves to sleep. But they didn't know that. So it's not their fault, right? 

The blame was always shifted to Evelynn. Even when she wasn't involved, it was always "Evelynn's fault." 

These same people, who took advantage of, and shattered the utter soul of Evelynn pretended to be shocked when she finally decided she couldn't do it anymore, and tried to grow wings. But the fact she tried to kill herself didn't matter apparently. The only thing that "mattered" was that she was selfish for not being grateful for her life.

"All. Evelynn's. Fault."

Will Evelynn ever escape from this nightmare? Will she ever see the world the same again, or will she finally cave?
