However, these problems increased tenfold when she moved across the country. A depression filled haze settled over her as Maelyn made an attempt to get through high school in one piece while things crumbled around her.

 Bretta had always said, "Do no harm, but take no shit," and it was about time she practiced what she preached. Her emotional state had been going down the drain, and she wanted to fix it. Except she didn't know how. With few friends and fresh out of a damaging relationship, Bretta was just making an attempt to just be taken seriously for once.

Ash was stuck. Life was one big, monotonous cycle, the same thing over and over again.  Get up, avoid parents, eat, do some more avoiding, write, eat, write, and then lay awake for hours. He was so completely done with the world, and school starting up again wasn't helping. His best friend lived in a different country, and the other kids weren't exactly nice. Ash just wanted to get far, far away.
