Growing up, Matilda Johnson had parents who didn't care or love her like parents should. She had a rough home life and struggled with depression and anxiety because of it. But she only showed that behind the closed doors of her room. Though people knew of her situation, she would just shake it off like it was no big deal. She wouldn't dare let people pity her because she wanted to show that she was strong.

But now that she's older, she struggles even more to find her place. She's trying to get through college with the little money she makes at her job. Things are getting harder for her mentally and financially. She could ask a friend for help, but she doesn't want to be a burden and she definitely doesn't want to feel like she owes anyone anything in return so she just keeps her troubles a secret. Though sometimes she wants to give up, she refuses. She is too strong and has made it through too much to give up now.

When at her worst, she runs into someone from her childhood. And he wants to help her, but will she let him?
