That Girl Merliah

Merliah Lewis was always the girl in high school who kept her head down and wore the black hoodie, masking her face from the shame she carried forever.

Though her face may have seemed beautiful with the hood, when she took it off, everything she'd been hiding had escaped.

Much like her, Will Henderson has scars he too tries hard to hide under his nerdy glasses but behind the jacket, sweater, and pure muscles, he too is hurting perhaps beyond repair.

The secrets we hide are what makes it hurt more. How can Will and Merliah fix one another if neither will let the other completely in?
