Bell isn't ready to face the music. The slow, tedious, depressing music. She knows her life is over, but she wont acknowledge it.
She's content living in misery, until she gets a wake up call, and is fired, then evicted, and then her family ignores her frequent attempts to regain contact.
Her life was officially over.
Until it's resurrected but one, simple, little, white lie.....
Words are stuck deep down in her throat. Heart. Soul.
No one gives her attention because they all brush her off as the silent girl.
The one too dumb to speak.
