Shutting Out Reality

Alina Taylor always knew that she was meant to be by herself. She never paid attention to the fact that the American meaning of her name meant "noble", as she instead paid more attention to the Dutch meaning of her name, "alone". After developing a close bond with her mother only to lose her to a car crash when she was only five, and seeing her father walk out on her, she began to slowly change into a different person as her emotions were all over the place. She made an attempt to make friends throughout her life, when attending elementary school and middle school. Even high school was a tough place for her to try and make friends. After suffering from depression for so long as an effect from years of bullying and loneliness, she no longer wanted to attend high school. She no longer wanted to try and make friends when it was only a waste of time. She was down to her last and final option of deciding to just shut everyone out...everything. The world, the people in it, just everything. Unfortunately, this wasn't something she could do for the rest of her life, and that she knew. She eventually decides to try again, only to finally make a friend to hang onto and never let go. Unfortunately, there are many secrets behind their friendship...secrets that were told too late.
