Emily was a shy, anti-social girl. This made it hard for her to make friends. She had one friend, his name was Josh. Josh seemed to be the only one who really cared about her. Emily's parents were not supportive of her, and never payed attention to her.
Emily created a blog about depression to try and help people who need it. She talked people out of suicide and self-harm. She was a miracle to society.
The downside was, none of those people knew she felt the same way as them, and she couldn't help herself. She only had the ability to help others, she couldn't take her own advice. She needed to hear it from someone else.

Emma: Seventh Grade
As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."Complete
