16 year old Christine looks perfectly fine on the outside, but it's everything on the inside that's holding her back and slowly tearing her apart. Using her fake smile to push through all the pain, no one really knows what's going on with her. Her best friend Riley, a peppy optimistic cheerleader, is the only one who knows that she is battling anorexia and is sometimes depressed, and although her family knows all the struggles she's going through, it's hard to tell how she's actually ever feeling. Struggling with the occasional OCD attacks, Christine's barriers have fallen apart, and is never in the mood to talk about how she's feeling. Some things change though when she meets the new kid, Kyle, who might be hiding some secrets of his own as well.

Emma Chase. She may seem as a normal high school girl with a fiery spirit. Always smiling and laughing to jokes told by her friends. But was it real? Was the smile real and not fake, the laughs true and not forced. We don't know. Nobody does. Emma is so used to hiding her emotions and putting on a facade that in her old school everyone thought her facade was the real her. She had to live up to the standards her facade made and live in the lie that was "Chase". Back then she was reckless, daring and wild to the point where it got out of hand. She had built herself a reputation that didn't fit her. Everyone has secrets. Whether or not you tell anyone them is your choice, but not for Emma. She has too many to count and too many that she drowns in them, but she stays afloat because she knows the burden that they are and she's built herself to carry it all. She's learned to ignore the scars and demons and hide her secrets. Now she gets a restart at life. In a new city where no one knows or heard of her or rather "Chase". With these new faces will she hide behind this facade of her's or allow herself to be her. Will she have come this far only to have this chance ripped from right under her feet because of her old habits? Will Emma find her way back and defeat her demons? With lots of alcohol and a few bruises, here and there, along the way; Will she learn to let her walls fall and face what lies behind them? Will history repeat itself? You'll have to read to find out. To know what happened in her past for her to hide. To find out what is behind the innocent smile of Emma Chase. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• "Your smile can be described as a lot of things, Chase.

19 parts Complete Mature

She slips, she falls day by day, closer to the endless edge where only a strand helps her. She cuts herself, looking at the crimson blood in tears, but nobody sees why. Everyday they ask and she won't answer, because the fear in her heart is too deep. But she has a secret that she never told anyone. Her parents talked to her about it before they died. When the bully that owns her finds out that a dark secret is hidden in this lonely, poor girl's soul, she torments her day by night to get the answer she desperately wants to ruin her life. Day by day, year by year she hears people tell that lonely girl that if she doesn't commit suicide, they'll kill her. She can't do anything about the way her life is, until she finds who she really is. Welcome to Erin's life...
