"Keith?" Shiro looked back to Lance. "That was Keith. Why?" "I-" Lance gulped, and he realized his hands were shaking almost harder than his heart was pounding, lodged in his throat. "I think he's my soulmate." The silence that greeted him only stirred unease in the Cuban man's chest, and he raised his gaze to lock eyes with the older man, who tilted his head cautiously. Another full three beats had passed before he carefully propped himself on his elbows, scrutinizing Lance's panicked expression. "...Lance," Shiro murmured carefully, eyebrows furrowing. "Keith doesn't have a soulmate. He's deaf." [completed]

Aiden's world changes forever when her best friend is diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. *Also, I personally think this story is a lot better if you read it all the way through at once*

Hadley Jamison doesn't know what to think when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, committed suicide. She didn't exactly know him, but that doesn't stop her from feeling like there was something she could have done to help him. So to Hadley's surprise, on the very night of Archer's funeral, she has a run in with Death himself and is offered the chance to go back in time to stop Archer from ending his life. The catch? She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.

This is a short story based on a girl named Cassandra, a girl overcome with depression who eventually takes her own life. But before she leaves, she writes a letter to her best friend detailing a story. Her story.

Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out!

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."
