"I'm fine." Words I'm all too familiar with. It's easy to lie once you learn how to put on a convincing smile and walk around like a happy, normal human. But I'm far from that. And no one knows that I'm silently drowning in grief, anxiety, and depression.
Until he comes along.
I'd just like to say that my chapters start out small, but they'll gradually get longer and more interesting.

Many Words In Silence
Book # 2 in the Silence Series # Sequel to "Listen Before You Speak" - the story of Elijah and Blake Elijah is no ordinary boy. Never has been, and he is probably sure that he never will be the normal boy everybody wants him to be. How can you be ordinary and normal after your first love dies? After your father was the one responsible? How do you cope when your English teacher is the one who gives you a new home? Blend in a crazy friend and the fact that Elijah who learned how to speak one word of a time thanks to Blake has gone completely mute again. Will he ever be resurrected from the pain that is threatening to overwhelm him to the point where he will cut his own wrists? Is there any way someone could save him this time? Is there really that many words that can be spoken in silence? Can you truly be put back together when you are more than broken and half the pieces are lost forever? This story is PG13, since it may have strong language. This story may contain self-harm issues, abuse, and other traumatic scenes. Please be advised that the main character is homosexual, and therefore there will be romantic actions between same sex characters. If that makes you uncomfortable in any way, please refrain from reading.Complete
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete

●COMPLETED● Facade (BNHA Fanfiction)
●COMPLETED● (Fa-cade) noun An outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality. Bakugou Katsuki kept up the Facade his entire life. Nobody knows the truth. About the pain he feels when having to go home for the holidays. The pain when he's alone in his bed at night, not being able to sleep. The pain he feels when any one of his friends write him off as strong. Or temper-filled. Or anger-issued. They don't know the truth. They don't know anything! And how Katsuki wanted to tell them. The things he's gone through. But people wouldn't care. He's Bakugou fucking Katsuki. He's the strong, loud, violent, and angry one. The one with no feelings at all. Or not being able to... feel. When all he does is feel. All he does is drown his emotions in drinks, drugs, and blades. But if he spoke out, they'd hate him. Hate him for what he got himself into. For the way he got addicted to the drinking, smoking, and cutting so easily. So fast. And his mother didn't care. She's never cared. He opened up, and she told him to toughen up. To just... be anything... but himself. Be a Facade. ~~~ Just FWI, I freaking love Mitsuki. But, she is a 'bit' abusive towards Katsuki. And that time she hit him in front of Aizawa and All Might, he acted like it happens daily. (Which I'm sure it does) UPDATE: nvm I hate Mitsuki (I'm not sorry-) Warnings!

Detachable
Losing someone or something is not a choice or something it's predicted. It just happens. You cannot know when it will happen. The worst part of it all is that you can't get it back. Once it's gone, there is no turning back. You truly see how much love and appreciation it deserved, but cause you were so live careless you never gave the tendance it should have gotten. You think to yourself over and over again, where did you go wrong? If you did just one thing differently would everything change? Would the end change? Sadly it won't cause the truth is, the end will come. It doesn't matter if it is sooner or later, but it will come and nothing else will mater. There isn't a happy or sad ending, there just an end. The cruel faith will eventually come and take everything from you, in a blink of an eye. So just live.Complete
"It didn't have to be this way"
There is a world out there where I could have been happy. Where we could have been friends, and you could have benefited from what I know. Unfortunately, we don't live there. This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately, as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details. The chapters all the final ones but the story itself has been finished.
