"People only see what lies above the surface; the light shimmering off the subtle waves, the beautiful movement from the wind above causing it to sway with each passing moment. What they don't see is the dark, cold presents below that's forcing that beauty out above. They don't care what lies under the surface... No one does."  Jamie Reed, 19 years old. 
  
  Bullying ruins the lives of many. But for Jamie Reed, it has done more than just ruin her life; it has ruined her sense, her mind, her self worth. Leaving her wishing she could find peace at last through something in this life- death is her 'only' option to escape this cruel, deteriorating world.  But, what if she found peace before it comes to an end? What if she was, in fact, found and saved from going under the surface?All Rights Reserved

Bridge Jumping by adeterding

In Bridge Jumping, the reader meets Jaime Sawyer at the end of sixth grade. Jaime has two best friends, Hannah and Jess, but she also has aspirations of someday sitting at the cool table in the school cafeteria. She loves life and adventure and prides herself in being a daredevil. Jaime's uncomplicated innocence is shattered early in the seventh grade when she undergoes a traumatic experience, becomes ill and is forced to miss three months of school. During this time she recognizes the face in the mirror less and less as she struggles to hold on to the image of herself as a brave daredevil. The reader is welcomed inside Jaime's head and heart as she deals with the scary reality of living with Graves Disease. Jaime is frank and honest about how it feels to lose sight of the healthy girl she was.When she returns to school, she discovers the worst of the experience has yet to come. While she was out, rumors had abounded about where she was, and why she was gone. She finds herself in a very different place, socially - the cool table not only seems impossibly far away now, it's no longer even a thought in her head. The only thing she can think about is getting through each day - the teasing and name calling - and getting back to the safety of her home. By the end of the book, Jaime comes to realize that all she really needs to survive the treacherous journey of middle school is the love and support of her family, a true, strong belief in herself and one good friend. For those who have been through similar experiences, Jaime's journey may be comforting. For others, perhaps it will be eye-opening - shedding light on the ramifications of one's words and actions.

Presumed Dead - Emily Prentiss x Reader by emprentissismywife

You've worked as a member of the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Team for 4 years now - a career you dreamt of growing up. But 6 months ago, the love of your life was ripped from you suddenly in the worst case of your career. To this day you still can't wrap your head around it - how little you knew about the woman you'd planned to marry someday, why she chose to disappear without her team, why she'd put herself in a position where you could lose her. So many questions had been occupying your mind ever since her funeral, but one thing was for sure: Every bit of joy you had left in you died with Emily Prentiss that day. ----- Dreaming of Emily being alive again had been the only thing keeping you going so far. But the reality of that might be quite different to how you'd expect.

His Ruthless Temptation by Plumavenetta

I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Criminal Minds Series Rewrite: Season Five by queenofdeansbooty

When you think you've been through the worst thing to ever happen to you, something new comes to prove that everything you thought was safe isn't, and everyone you thought had your back doesn't. You're left to fend for yourself in a place that never wanted you to begin with. Even when you think you've escaped it, it comes creeping in to remind you that it's always been there to pull you back into its clutches. Along the way, you find comfort in a place you didn't think you'd find it. You find love in someone you thought didn't want it. You find solace within yourself when you thought you've lost it. It all comes down to you. Are you going to fight for it or completely drown in it?

Shoreline by AliceajadeNaidoo

You never really know what's around the next bend, whether it's an opportunity to a better life, or a sorrowful condolence of breathe taken away. Life can be a mystery. It can be pleasant and it can be bad, but what we need to remember in both times is that these events are controlled by One. What we need to remember is that God is in control. During the high tides and the low. God will always be greater than the highs and lows♡♡

Twisted Reality by royalblackblue

" Stop trying to figure me out! Stop thinking I have this past tragic tear jerking life! Can't you just get it? Can't you just get that something didn't have to go so tragically wrong and so baffling terrible for demons to arise in my head? Can't you just get that I don't have to be a puzzle to have parts of me missing?" I've always believed that everything happened for a reason. Of course sometimes it was just that we were stupid and made stupid choices. And there was also that sometimes life just decided it hadn't played enough tricks on you. But other times,it was good. I think I was like a whirlwind and he was like the ocean.

Courageous by DoctorSailor

Sometimes we find our lifeline but it's not quite what we expect. Jacquie is going through a lot in her own life but she has a promise to keep. Will she break it or will she stay next to Adeline when moments come and test their already unsteady ground? "It's funny how all people see is water coming out of the sky and ruining their day. I don't see rain like that. It's soothing in a way. It falls so gracefully without a care in the world where it lands. It can land in the ocean, but you know what? It will still make a ripple and after it falls into the ocean it will stand with the rest of the drops of water, freshwater and saltwater combining. Does that stop it from shining? No. Why? Because now it joined hands with many others to make one of the most beautiful things in the world. Why can't we be like that raindrop?" She speaks out of her mind. It's not the best analogy and I honestly wouldn't have thought of such a comparison if it wasn't for Adeline. I smile up at her knowing that all she needs me to do is listen.
