Seventeen year old Rena Klein hasn't had the best life, a drug addicted mother, no father, bullies, and younger sister to look after. No one knows her struggles until one day they are brought to the light. 

Story inspired by song "Blackbird" by Nina Simone. 

Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

No place big enough for holding
All the tears you're gonna cry
Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"
And your daddy's name was "Pain"

And they call you "Little Sorrow"
Cause you'll never love again

So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold you
You ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand, dear
Nobody wants you anywhereAll Rights Reserved

But then, she discovers a different side of Brent - a violent side that scares her. Promising that this had been a one time slip up, she forgives him. After all, he is the love of her life. She dosn't see the signs -- the controlling, the alienation from her friends and dad, the obsession he has with her. She is like putty in his hands. Over time, she learns about the Cycle of Abuse the hard way and she even tries to break free. But in the end, she only sees one way out and it will likely cost her everything.

Taken Too Soon by 758m46jmjfprivaterel

She was here. And then she wasn't. And the world kept spinning like it didn't notice she was gone. They never got to say goodbye. Kimmy's name still lingers in the air like a song no one finishes. Her room is exactly the same-untouched, as if she's coming back. But she's not. Jenna, her mother, smiles for everyone except herself. She folds laundry with tears she hides in the dryer's hum. Daniel, her father, hasn't cried. He just... stares. As if feeling nothing might hurt less than feeling everything. Carter, her twin, is a storm with no calm. He screams at the sky, because she should still be under it. Michael, the boy who loved her, rewrites their last conversation every night. In all of them, she lives. And Macy-Macy can't forgive herself. Because she was there. Because she wasn't enough. This isn't a story about death. It's about what's left behind. The way grief doesn't knock before it enters. The way it unpacks its bags and never really leaves. The way you learn to live with a ghost whose laugh you can't quite remember anymore. Some will find light again. Others won't. But every single one of them will carry the weight of her absence like a second skin. Because when someone is taken too soon, the world doesn't break all at once. It breaks in quiet places. Over and over again.

Five Seconds After the Flash by MeganHuggins7

Reid shrugged. "I mean, you can't keep looking for the person that you were, because you're different now. You lost someone who was really important in your life. You don't just go back to who you were before that." I hadn't wanted to start talking about Grandpa, and I felt the familiar tightness in my throat. I was comfortable with who I had been, and moving forward meant figuring out a whole new version of myself, someone who could be OK without him. "So, who are you in this new version of my life?" I asked quietly. He looked surprised by my question, and said, "I would say that's up for you to decide, Victoria."

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close.

My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell.
