Do you know how it feels to be alone? No not the insignificant teenage “I’m all alone, no one understands me” or the adult “There’s no one here to help me with my life anymore”. Just to have pushed everyone so far away that no one knows who you actually are anymore or who the person behind your mask is. Tess has done this since she was thirteen when she realized she was in love with the adorable, funny, sweet boy she met that fateful day in fifth grade. She didn’t know how to stop it but if I was there I could’ve helped. But I wasn’t so here she is on the brink of losing it all and I have to find a way to help.
