"I grab my blade and make another cut. I look at my wrists, which are covered in scars. I can still remember the first time I cut myself. I remember every detail." Alyssa has some issues. Her past makes it hard for her to get close to anyone, for fear of losing them. She has no friends because of this. To everyone at her school she's the freak. She wears a lot of black, she cuts, she listens to a lot of rock music, and she's suicidal. But when a new guy comes to her school, could she make a new friend?? Could that "friendship" become something more?? Will she tell him the deepest darkest secrets she's kept hidden for so long??
