Despite her worries, they look forward to spending all of the “free time” together that they can. She doesn’t know how having a boyfriend works and she also doesn’t know how to kiss right. Obviously this excites her and scares her at the same time. Justin also seems to like Anna back (the first person to ever like Anna). They are interested in the same type of music, mostly the same artists, and share many of the same ideas and viewpoints. Justin seems like the perfect match for Anna. Matt just happens to be friends with Anna’s love interest, Justin, also. Matt has been in the hospital for months now because his family’s insurance can pay for it.

She also has a super buff boyfriend and has put pictures of him up all over the room. Sandy tells Anna that she doesn’t get along with her parents and tried to run away to live with her grandparents (which is why she’s at the mental hospital). She never wants to leave, but will she ever even have the option to get out of the hospital? One of the people Anna befriends is Sandy. Anna doesn’t have a clue why she’s there, but she’s making friends and even has a love interest. Her parents don’t know what to do with her so they send her to a mental hospital.
