Rachel Smith has a seemingly perfect life... until suddenly it isn't. Having to deal with divorce, a violent ex boyfriend and a vindictive human barbie, she falls into a deep pit of depression. How could someone have everything they want one minute and have it come crashing down around them the next? Rachel tries to cope with her brokenness but finds it hard to breath; it's starting to feel like it's easier to say goodbye than to hang on and keep fighting. Her best friend tries to pick her up from the dark place she's been forced into but it'll take more then one person to save her after sexual assault rattles her already fragile world. Will there be someone strong enough to pull Rachel out of her personal hell or will she burn up in the flames that choke her into nothingness to be forever forgotten?

This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".

rachel
I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth. He's up in his head and I don't know what's going on up there but I just know it's not good. Even if I get him back out now, I know that he's going to overthink everything later tonight. "Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break?
