Not Every Story Has a Hero

Madelyn Shards has always dreamed of having her prince charming, but he never arrived. Her entire life, she was the duff in every friend group. Always classified as the dumb ugly fat friend. She got used to it. She always thought she was ugly, so she never saw her real beauty until a woman from a modeling agency saw her. Madelyn felt wanted for the first time in so long. She craved that feeling of being called pretty, and she spiraled. Her life changed completely. Suddenly, everyone loved her. Madelyn always had one friend though - Silas Lightwood - her childhood best friend. They had drifted after Silas gained his popularity in school, and Madelyn vowed to never let Silas back into her heart when she overheard him making fun of her with other girls. So, Silas watched from afar. Silas always knew Madelyn was beautiful and didn't deserve to be called the ugly one, but he never said anything. He watched and watched as time went by and saw the person she was completely shattered and melt into someone she wasn't. He held back until he couldn't.
