This book will be specifically for combating insecurities we face. I'm doing this for several reasons: 1. In the event I do close and retire the other Tom Hiddleston imagine book, there will be one still going. 2. Everyone is hurting. Everyone is struggling. We're trying so hard, but it's difficult to stand when society keeps kicking us down. So to stay empowered, I would like to dedicate a book on the things people tease us about, the things we may not like about ourselves and are too afraid to say. 3. In harmony with the previous point, having Tom's point-of-view can be heart-strengthening, a friendly reminder that you are so much more than what society labels you. Hopefully I can update at least once a week. Please, don't be afraid to contact me if you just want to talk. I'm always willing to give a listening ear. Many of these things I went through alone, and I'd hate for anyone else to go through them too. On a side note: I put this under the category of "random" because I don't feel it's right to call this fiction. Yes, although they are imagines, the problems are real. And I'd like to think that Tom would be 100% helpful and supportive in any case. || Highest Ranking: #4 in Hiddleston, appropriate for the being that is so amazingly kindhearted to everyone.

To a girl like Nicole, her problems shouldn't be anyone's concern, especially a rockstar. However, Nicole is a long-term self-harmer on the brink of destruction, and she can only dream of escape from her abrasive father and constant harassment at school. On the verge of graduation and contemplating suicide, she discovers her brother Bobby has a well-known friend, Chris Motionless.

Nicole goes along, desperate for a change in her dark world, but as she develops real feelings for Chris, she finds out he is already taken, and she is driven deeper into her depression.
