𝑱𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓, a 17 year old high school student dealing with the hardships of life after a traumatic event. She has yet to experience the teenage lifestyle because she has to work hard to keep the lights on. Dread is a common feeling she always feels, she wants more, a better life but she doesn't have much to get there. Going to an high end school doesn't make matters any better when she has to constantly be reminded that it isn't her lifestyle, and those like Silas Remington will make this one hell of a school year.

[mon-a-chop-sis] What am I to this world but a plastic bottle in the ocean? Thrown aside to get lost in the waves. An empty reminder of what once was forever stuck as a shell of what could have been. Maybe I could be something to her. Am I worthy to breathe the very oxygen that fills her lungs? Worthy enough to share my days beneath the sun and under the moonlight by her side? Or am I just a plastic bottle reflecting the sun light long enough to trick foolish eyes that I am a diamond? • Emily & Riley: A queer Story
