Fake Smile

*MAY BE TRIGGERING*

14 year-old, Madeline, has had such a happy and loving life. Loving family. Good friends.

So what went wrong? Her life seems to be falling out from under her leaving her falling and awaiting death. School is her only escape, even though she's classified as a 'nerd'. It's the only place that she can escape the pain of 'home'.

An unsupportive mother and father who happen to be divorced. Getting belittled by her own father and his traditional opinions. Verbally and Emotionally abused by her mother. She wonders every night, 'Why can't I end it all? I can't do anything right anyway...' Depression planted in her and grows just like a dark flower. It all crumbles around her, yet nobody sees it.

'Just smile. Just blink to keep the tears in. Stop.'

Unless Danny can save her.

*THIS INCLUDES VERY SERIOUS TOPICS SUCH AS DEPRESSION, ANOREXIA AND SELF HARM*
