Summer's a nice person. A singer. A future music teacher. A good babysitter. She's anything but dangerous, even if her thoughts suggest otherwise.

What if I brushed my teeth with a razor?
What if I hurt someone?

Summer Bell has OCD... but not the 'super clean closet' kind of OCD. More so the type that tells her:

I'm going to die if I wear the color red today.
I could push this person out of the window, and they would die.
I don't love my boyfriend.

The thought I do not love my boyfriend presents another big problem. Because she does love her boyfriend. At least, she thinks she does. Then again, sometimes she has intrusive thoughts about stabbing him with a fork while they're cooking. She's never acted on her thoughts, but the more she thinks about them, the less sure of herself she feels... If Summer can't differentiate her thoughts from her feelings, how can she ever be sure of who is and what she wants?
