Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who was unable to see her own worth. She found beauty in the simple things, like roses, kind smiles, good music, and a deep conversation. But she was not simple, so she was unable to see anything worth while about herself. This girl was beaten down by the cruelties of this world, but then she meets him, her prince charming. But can even he convince her of her true beauty? Or will she ruin any good that comes into both his and her lives forever? ----- This is a story about a girl named Jane who is forced to be someone she is not. I wrote this story because I feel like we all have to conform to be how society wants us to be, when that's not who we really are, sometime in our lives. But we all have an escape. Sometimes it's through music, reading, friends, or whatever. Jane's escape comes through a boy named Mystery who helps her grow and flourish who she really is. Please read, it means so much to me because writing and helping others is my personal escape! I love you all so much! It's almost completed! I understand that my grammar is not perfect so please be patient with me because I will fix it someday! ;) *NOTE* This story contains some graphic scenes of self harm and suicide. Read at your own risk. This story was meant solely for awareness.

Kat Richardson isn't running away from grief; she's just hiding out in a gloomy Welsh university town until she's sure it's gone. Now, two years, nine months, and 27 days after the death of her first love, Gabe, she thinks she's ready to venture out into the relationship world again. And Owen-a cake baking, Super Ball making chemistry student-appears to be a kind, funny, and very attractive option. But the arrival of Kat's newly adopted niece, Mai, forces her home to northern England, where she runs headfirst into all the memories of Gabe she's tried to leave behind-and discovers that Mai stirs up an unnerving feeling of déjà vu. Before long, Kat's logical, scientific beliefs about life after death are in battle with what she feels to be true-that reincarnation is real and Gabe has come back to her through Mai. The question now, is why? A Strange Companion is serialized novel, set in the industrial north of England and the valleys of South Wales. Taking on the topics of love, loss, and how we deal with grief, this story offers a twisted love triangle between the living, the dead, and the reincarnated.

I consider my life to be different from any other teenagers. No mom, no dad, no home. For 9 years, I woke up to nothing but two bunk beds and 4 annoying girls. But as I got older I was determined to change and become a better person. Hanging out with other teenagers, joining clubs, being nicer to people, but none of that worked. I guess once a person is broken inside, no matter what you do to try to fix them, they won't go back together. - Diyana Burgess

Before either of them know it, they are intertwined in an affair that no one can stop. Not even age-old laws. 'He taught her all he could about who she was, and where he came from.
