Ever since that day, the day in December when I was 15, I haven't been the same. I haven't been myself, and I have changed so much since then.

----------------------------

It doesn't feel like it has been two years, it feels so foggy, so distant, so numb by now. I'm not sure I can deal with talking about it with anyone and I don't really think I want to. Alessandra, my sister, has wanted to look out for me since it happened, and Carter, my brother, has barely left my side. I'm glad I have them, especially now that I have to join high school.

She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
