The Scars I Carry

Cecily used to be such a friendly person. The kids she went to school with literally think she's a different person.
The summer before she was supposed to start grade nine Cecily was injured in a car accident. Her physical injuries healed but her emotional ones still plague her.
Her parents don't understand her and eventually, thinking her stupid or retarded they begin to become ashamed of her.
When her mother runs off with another man over Christmas during grade ten, Cecily's father turns to drinking.
Soon the drinking spirals out of control and he starts abusing Cecily.
Then Daniel arrives, he's every girl's dream. For some reason he has eyes only for Cecily.
While some scars are permanent, others can heal...
