"It's difficult you know."

"What is?"

"Staying alive, I mean."

"It's all we ever can do."

"But don't you ever just want to let go?"

"Tia, if I did that, you'd be left alone and I hate seeing you alone. So staying is much better than leaving."

"I guess we have no other option then."

"Yeah, staying it is."

Disclaimer: This is not just a cliche high school story. This WILL contain tragic turns and unexpected twists.

I'll try my best to update regularly but there will be times that my brain just won't work so please bear with me.

Your support will push me forward so I don't mind ridiculous comments or even one vote. These are proof that someone is merciful to actually read what my mind makes up so that's enough to make me blissfully high. Thank you for choosing my story!

Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option. ***** Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
