Maya: Hi, my name is Maya Anne Walsh. I’m 16. I live very close to a small beach. I have always loved the beach, and have always been fascinated by its beauty. Almost every night since I was 10, I have snuck out at midnight just to sit and clear my mind. The beach is so beautiful at night. It’s silent, except for the sound of the waves and a few animal sounds here and there. When I was about 12, I started writing down secrets and thoughts, or sometimes drawing how I feel. It’s kind of like a diary that nobody will ever read, since it gets washed away with the tide every morning at about 8:30, half an hour before the beach is open. Derek: Hi, my name is Derek Joshua Peterson. I’m 17, and I work as a lifeguard at the beach, which is practically right next to my house. I love the beach, especially in the mornings. It’s just so peaceful. That’s why I always take the morning shift. I normally get there at about 8:45, so I can sit there in peace before I have to open. Kayla: Hi, my name is Kayla Melody Black. I’m 16, and don’t even know why I’m still alive. I want to kill myself, because I know the world is better off without me, but I guess I’m just too weak to actually go through with it. I’m fat, even though I eat barely anything, and I cut myself. The only good thing in my life is my best friend, Maya. She is really nice and amazing, and I know I don’t deserve a friend as amazing as her. She’s the only thing that gets me through the day.

Logan

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "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." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
