Band-Aid. Just a bloody Band-Aid.
That's all I ever really was to you, Eloise. Just a solider with a syndrome and dreams of children's screams . You molded. You shaped like a god who loathes to create.
Band-Aids. Two infected Band-Aids.
That's all we were to each other, Eloise. Just a couple of stupid kids throwing a ball back and forth. Just to see who drops it first. Well, think fast, killer.

Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
