(Warning: mentions of cutting and depression, I will add warnings on chapters with cutting, but depression is not going to be labeled)
Samantha has had it rough, she is a lesbian and that fact made her parents disown her, she has a friend named Hanna, who's mom died in a car crash with her baby sister, and who's dad was horrible. Child services took her to the orphanage, and her and Samantha just clicked. They each only have 1 friend. Each other . Sam has cut. Cut cut cut the tears away. Only thing keeping her from ending it all? Them. Youtubers. More specifically, Dan and Phil. When Samantha writes to Dan for Internet support group, her whole life changes.
"Look outside into the night, what do you see Sam?"
"Darkness"
"Try again"
"Well I see stars too."
"What do you notice about them?"
"They shine...?"
"but none of them, will ever, shine as bright as you"
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong.
Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need.
Still.
New chances are for new beginnings, right?
Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life.
Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
