Borderline personality disorder
Also called: BPD, emotional dysregulation disorder: Symptoms include emotional instability, feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, impulsivity, and impaired social relationships
When Celeste Harrison enters college she expects nothing more than what has happened her whole life, for no one to help her, notice her or even talk to her , but when she meets Jaxon Middleton that all changes.
.
He's only doing this because he feels bad for me, he's going to be like the others make me feel amazing one minute and then the next he's screaming at me and walking out the front door. I can't let him in my life, I can't let him see who I truly am.
.
He is my only sense of hope.
He is what I look forward to every morning and every night of every day.
He's broken just like me. We're both pieces of broken glass on the floor trying to put ourselves back together piece by piece, but there's a difference between us. I would chip off pieces of my own self if it meant he can use them to put himself back together.
People said he was going to be my light, but light can always burn out.

The Heartthrob Won't Leave
- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside. Blake Collins was forced to move schools, along with her four best friends. With her mother dead and her father in prison for attempting to murder her brother, she's in foster care, struggling every day with panic attacks and obsessive thoughts from a past of psychological damage. In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers. Everything seems fairly normal, at least at first. But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own. Be careful, because you never know what people are really thinking. - *Warning* Swear words, violence, thoughts of self harm, and spelling mistakes that I need to fix and I swear I will.Complete
