[[Teen Fiction | Romance | LGBT | Trigger Warning: Suicide]]

17-year-old Alfie Rees committed suicide, leaving no note and plenty of unanswered questions. Through a series of letters, those closest to him - the girlfriend, the best friend, the twin brother, the childhood friend and the outsider - reminisce, ask questions and begin to explore a life without him in it. 

What begins as an exercise suggested by a bereavement counsellor quickly becomes a lifeline, as the friends cling desperately to any part of Alfie they can. However, the letters lead them to question everything. Could they have done more to stop him? Who are they without him? Just how well did they really know Alfie Rees?All Rights Reserved

After losing his best friend to an unexplained suicide, Mateu finds himself left to pick up the pieces with his best friend's younger brother, Ferran. Demure, distant and with a seemingly undying love for the memory of his brother, Ferran fascinates the abrasive Mateu who is relentless in his own search for answers. But uncovering the truth requires the uncomfortable task of facing it for what it is. Only a thin line separates devotion from obsession, dedication from delusion, and passion from mania.

Everything I Wanted by writtenbyklara

"Clemence! Look at how easy it is. Stop worrying, I'll survive." She laughs. Balancing on the ledge of the bridge. "Olive! Come down, it's dangerous!" I scream. "Look!" She starts standing on one leg and does a ballet pose. She does a pirouette but loses grip and stumbles. My heart rate increases. "Get down!" I scream more panicked than ever. She just laughs it off. "I can prove it one more time!" She does a sauté and her confidence fades when she misses the ledge and falls. I run and try to grab her hand but it's too late instead I grab air and watch as she falls to her death. Her face is terrified and our gaze's lock. "CLEMENTINE!" She screams and that is the last thing I hear before she hits the ground and her body becomes limp. At that moment I knew she was dead. ~ * ~ Clementine is sixteen when her best friend dies. This leaves her in agony and devastation. She has one plan, that she shall die. But suddenly the optimistic and joyous Monroe comes along and makes her question her decisions. Will she give up on life or will she from now on live her life fully? One happy boy. One angry girl. Only death can separate them.
