After visiting her Aunt in Tenoma, Amanda is left scarred for life by someone she doesn't even know. Feeling used and unclean, she struggles to get back on her feet and get herself back. But can she..? When no one cares? She'd give away even her own life thread for just one thing: for her mother to understand her and ask her how she feels.

Laura, Amanda's mother, has her own troubles to deal with. She knows more about guilt and depression better than anyone, even her daughter Amanda. Having already made so many mistakes in the past, she wonders if she is even a good mother. Confiding in her best friend is easier than coming clean and telling Amanda the truth.

Jeffrey, Amanda's childhood friend, is a struggling Christian. Living one day at a time, he struggles to forget about the past and focus on his future. He is not ready for the big change in his life, but he is willing to adapt for the sake of his mother's happiness. 

These three people go through daily struggles in life. Pretending to be happy on the outside... meanwhile, falling apart on the inside.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
