Eventually he just gave up and decided to let life or fate or God; decide for him. Darren struggled with himself and his thoughts every day. Telling himself to get up and go for a walk, go hangout with his siblings or friends. Just to get out of bed.. Darren thought he wasn't going anywhere any time soon, at 19 years old. He felt completely useless and ashamed. He wondered if anyone had noticed him falling apart. Or maybe they've simply mistook his silence and dry smile as reserved. Stoic. shy. But it wasn't any of those, no matter how much he didn't deny it. How could he? He couldn't tell them how he really felt inside. How painful it all was. But maybe all he needed was someone to catch him before he shattered. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Reuben always thought he wasn't seen. He felt like he couldn't do anything, so when he felt proud of something he DID do- he wanted it to be recognized. Reuben thought he had a good childhood but his mind often explores into the deeper pits. He wondered if he was just being dramatic. Selfish or ungrateful whenever he thinks negative thoughts upon his parents. But.. was it completely his fault if he's feeling this way? Reuben often finds himself in his own deep depression. Battling with himself, tricking his brain so things wouldn't seem so hard to accomplish. Simple things. Like showering, making his bed, leaving the house, brushing his teeth... simply living. Reuben had always been isolated since the age of 12, but after his siblings all moved away and he moved a few hours away from his hometown where most of his family was, he just.. collapsed. And now... he needed someone to pick him up again. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ #1 in demiromantic #1 in blb #4 in relatable #6 in depression

Between hosting anonymous midnight live confessions and burying himself in math equations, he's mostly imperceivable. But invisibility isn't just a preference. It's a survival tactic. Blending into the shadows of his own home means he gets to wake up without fresh bruises. His only escapes are his high-level physics equations, Swedish fish candy, and his chaotic best friend, Heather, whose unhinged schemes are the only thing grounding him in reality. Until a single late night exchange changes everything. He's thrust into the golden, privileged world of the star swimmer, Aster Montgomery. Too observant for his own good, too sweet for Kaviel to digest. He holds access to live footage of that treacherous night. What should have been a one and done night becomes the catalyst that keeps thrusting these two boys together. And, Kaviel is stubbornly trying to keep their two worlds apart. ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩ

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.

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!

Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.
