Description
I wish I felt nothing. It would be better, easier. I bit my tongue to keep from screaming as hot tears dribbled down my face. I covered my face with my hands and rocked back and forth, trying to calm down. It didn't help. My lungs tightened as I gasped for air. I was ashamed of myself for breaking down, for not being strong but I just couldn't fight it anymore. My phone buzzed on my bedside table but I ignored it. I just wanted to be alone, to dwell on my misery. I wondered what would happen if I just disappeared, if anyone would even notice. There was no point in trying anymore. No point in living or even breathing. He was gone ------------------------------------ Michaela Joe is an introverted seventeen year old girl who would rather stuff her face with food in her room by herself than socialise.

Someone special walks into her life and she gradually opens up, changing her for the better. It isn't long before she realises that he really is a dream come true. But what happens when she is forced to choose between the perfect guy and the imperfect guy who claims to be perfect for her? And will she ever forgive her best friend?
