Chapter 2: Secrets and lies

Frankie's story

Frankie is Goth he loves to dress it and sometimes wear eyeliner and lipstick. He gets bullied in school for it, but it only feeds his pain. See what you don't know about Frankie is he wasn't always like this.

He started to dress like this when his mom first got sick with cancer to hide the pain. He watches as his mother gets sicker and sicker. She can't even bathe or feed herself anymore. He has to help her with everything.

He loves his mom, and it hurts him to see her like this. He doesn't know what he will do when she dies, but from what the doctor's say it's only a matter of time. He started to cut himself just to ease the pain. He felt that was the only thing in his life he had control of.

Now the one teacher he held the most respect for wanted him to be a part of some sort of project. He couldn't tell her no even though he knew it was a bad idea. I mean who would want to switch places with him in the first place? He was only a freak that no one cared about.

Now whoever had to live his life would just use it as another excuse to make his life a living hell. He had to find a way to get out of this and fast. He didn't have time to do it anyway not with everything that was going on with his mom, and he wasn't about to trust some stranger with his mother.

He knows that with his mom's insurance they could afford a live-in nurse, but he felt he owed it to his mother to take care of her. After all she had done so much for him. His mother was his hero, and now she was fighting just to stay alive. He felt this world was just so cold and cruel.

He picks on others because he hates himself. Now he is stuck in this project. He can't let his secret be known because it would ruin his life. He had to find a way to keep his secret while doing this stupid project.
