Alex Ellis is a generally happy person, always smiling and laughing. Just looking at him will brighten your day, he's always there for you cracking jokes and never letting anyone, or himself, be sad.

But he's not happy. Not one bit, always wearing his trademark bat man sweater, he really only wears it to cover up his cut-filled wrists.

Alex has been depressed for as long as he can remember, putting on a mask is the only thing he thinks he's good at. A failure, a fuck up, a faggot, that's what he thinks of himself.

But Nate Rivers, whom Alex doesn't know, can see through his facade.

And he plans to do something about it.
