Anyone Can Smile

She's alive, and yet she feels dead. She keeps thinking over and over again.. why me?? With a dead beat father and lying mother, two horrible little devils as sisters and a step brother that's never around, what is she to do? "Nick, your never around.. and yet.. your the only one that actually knows and cares about what mom does." "I know Illa.. I know.." "Don't leave me here with them.. please, I dont know how much more of this I can take." "Promise me you won't do something you'll regret later." He says looking into her sad eyes. "I promise.." She lies. Will Illa Hallows actually survive the rest of her junior year of High School? Or will she succumb to the depression thats been scratching at her ankles? WARNING : This story is extremely depressing, its meant to show the truth behind what some girls and boys actually go through when they leave school. This is not meant to offend anyone actually going through these kinds of troubles, because I myself know what it's like. Please do not leave hate or rude comments, because this is a serious thing happening.
