Chapter 1

She stares up into the teachers face trying to make it seem as if she is listening intentley, but her mind keeps wandering to that warm summers night. She had broken down earlier that day, she had tried to act like it didn't happen. She thought that if she told her best friend, Hannah that she wanted it then it wouldn't be so painfull. But Hannah knew her better than that. She had comforted her and told her to go to someone but, Abbie couldn't. She knew she couldn't hide it all her life, that one day she would blow up from all her emotions but, she could not bring herself to talk about it.
Her parents had been suspicious of Abbie's behaviour she refused to eat for three days and she had locked herself up in her room. She stayed home from school for three weeks. Her parents said she needed anti-depressants. Abbie just laughed, she didn't think they were serious until they took her to the hospital. When they made her go to school she put on one of her happy faces and popped a couple pills on her way out. She acted as if everything was fine. But if they really looked deep inside her soul they would see she wasn't. Her grades started to drop. Her parents signed her up with a guidance counselor at her highschool. Now she was known as the quiet girl that needed guidance counseling. Her only friend was Hannah and that guy Zander. He was in her P.E. and Math class. They had only talked a couple times, and even then they were close. If anyone could look into her eyes and see her soul it was him. She spotted Zander and Hannah talking by her locker when she turned down the hallway. As she walked towards them she decided she wouldn't stop to say hello. She didn't want him to know.

Zander casually leaned against Abbie's locker. Pretending as if he was in a conversation with Hannah. Hannah was rambling on about what she had planned for spring break. But he was to busy staring at Abby as she walked down the hall. Abby was shorter than most girls, petite with wavy hair that reached the middle of her back. She wouldn't stare directley into his eyes. Something was wrong. Did Hannah tell her? He was afraid to ask. He searched her big brown eyes for some sign of life, but found nothing. She had been out of school, for what seemed like forever. He had so much to tell her but when she saw them she paced up her steps and headed straight for math class. Hannah noticed too,
" She is going through alot, just give her some space." Zander rolled his eyes "How much time does that girl need?".
