Janie is in 12th grade, she's 17, but has a little secret. She has demons inside her, you know, the silent ones. The ones that don't show but do the most damage. The ones that slowly kill like cancer but you can hide it up with a smile. Yes, depression. She has tried getting help but nothing works. So giving up seemed like the reasonable option. Everyone who knew about it thinks she's gotten better because she laughs, smiles, seems happy. Except one person. Lucas Mariot, the quarterback, the one girls drool over, the cliché, notices something wrong. He can see past the walls she's put up containing her demons and tries to help. Will she let him in? Or shut him out?

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...
