Breathe Me

Laken- I live a life of hell. The abuse I get from my father, a mother who doesn't care and being bullied at school has me wanting to just end it all. The only way I can deal with it is through isolation and self-harm. But how long can I live in this darkness before it swallows me whole? Blake- I'm fresh out of Juvie, and I'm trying to let go of the dark past that haunts me daily. When I see Laken she steals my breath. I see the darkness and pain in her eyes that match my own, but I won't let the darkness take her. I'm going to make her see the light in herself that's slowly pulling me out of my own darkness. I couldn't save my mom, but I'm determined to save her. I will do anything to save Laken. From her darkness, and from herself.
