Hi, my name is Bella, and I'm just the ordinary teenage girl. Um, WRONG! I'm a mermaid. Yeah, you read it right. A mermaid. I live off the coast of Hawaii where sailors come and go. Oh, and no, I'm not some creepy siren who drags men out to sea. I'm just a peaceful little mermaid. Anyways, one day while coming close to the shore, I saw a very attractive young boy surfing. And when a wave took him under and he didn't come up, I swam to him and rescued him.. And I'm pretty sure he saw me before he blacked out. Woops. All copyright to XxCloverheartxX Story in editing

Arabella threw herself into ballet when she lost her mom. Her whole life revolves around dance and she will do anything to be skinny and succeed. She is completely focused until a new guy shows up in town with an amazing accent and a kind heart. She has told herself over and over again that she's not allowed to date, but she can't help getting close to him. When Arabella has a flashback of a memory of her mom, she carves it into a tree outside her room to make sure she never forgets it. The flashbacks of her mom both keep her going and hold her back, ballet gets more intense every day, she eats less and less, and her feelings for the boy get stronger. How much can one girl take before she reaches her breaking point?

It consumes you. Devours every ounce of positivity. Until it has nothing but fear to live on. Leaving you to be an empty, emotionless shell. ~~~ I have personally suffered with anxiety for most of my life. I've learned that writing about it helps to cope and I can only hope that sharing my words could help someone else. Please feel free to share your experiences. I hope you all enjoy ♡
