Bitter Broken Me
Summary
Alex is Schizophrenic who self harms. His first day of school a few years back the popular kids friended him not knowing about his problems. His attitude isn't great and he takes his anger out on others. The anger he has towards himself that has him sitting in a corner at home unsure of what to do. His family doesn't know what else to do besides keep giving him the medication he needs. The fact that he's gay doesn't help his situation whatsoever. He's afraid to admit it so much as he has a girlfriend that he doesn't even love. He just wants so badly to be straight, it's eating him alive.
Rebecca is the new girl with a broken family and a fake smile that is quickly wearing out. Her family isn't helping much either. Her parents constantly fight, her two little brothers constantly nag her to take them places, make dinner and other stuff because their parents are always arguing and when they're not arguing, they're in their rooms or not home. Years of her father's verbal abuse has driven her towards starving herself and cutting herself.
What happens when Alex notices Jack one day? Will Jack turn it around? Will Alex even consider opening up? What will happen when Rebecca meets Zack? Will she tell him or will it remain a secret from everyone?
