Depression, abuse, low self esteem, anxiety, terrors, self identity and much more are struggles that hit home for a lot of people. This is the case for 17 year old Canadian girl, Cody Faye. She's been living the last 5 years of her life behind a mask, and frankly, she likes it that way.
During one of the darkest times in her life, somehow she meets 17 year old Michael Clifford from a neighboring school. Soon after meeting Cody, Michael makes it his duty to help this lost star.
Too bad she doesn't want anything to do with him. She doesn't want his help, she was fine before and all this drama is something she absolutely repulses.
He might not be enough, her best friends might not be enough. Cody doesn't want to leave the dark path she's been on for a long time.
Either way, don't expect a fairytale ending.

"You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back,"
"You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person."
