Behind The Mask

Everyone thinks Aria has the perfect life.

She has loving parents, financial stability, good grades, and a smile that rarely fades. But beneath that smile is a girl fighting battles no one can see.

When she falls in love with the one person her closest friend warned her about, everything falls apart. The relationship ends in heartbreak, but the deepest wound comes afterward. The friend she trusted most blames her instead of comforting her, leaving her to battle grief, guilt, and loneliness alone.

As misunderstandings pile up, Aria begins to wonder if healing means losing the people she loves. Every time she reaches out, she's called selfish. Every time she lets her mask slip, she's accused of seeking attention.

How do you heal when everyone believes your life is too perfect for you to be hurting?

And how do you forgive someone who never realizes they became your greatest pain?

Sometimes the greatest wounds aren't always caused by romance but from the people who we trust the most.
