Lena Winchester spent her whole life afraid of being too heavy, too lonely, too needy. She built a castle of glass and trapped herself in, all cobwebs and spider bones. When a clumsy accident pushes her and Melanie - the new girl in town - together it starts a tragic chain of events. Lena can't escape recovery, relapse and the rest. Sometimes dolls break and who's going to stop Lena when it's her that cracks.

'She's a shadow don't you know, all watered down stomach aches and crying into dusty pillows. It was written all along, scribed into her skin from the age of thirteen and up. The taste -never leaving her tongue- of too much, too many.  It started small, unlike her at 142lbs too heavy...'

Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018) by CarpeDiemWrite
40 parts Complete Mature
"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just.... Wow." -Irxdeo This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully. I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not. Hi, guys! Thanks for checking this story out. Remember be brave and kind.

Is It All A Myth?

52 parts Complete Mature

He left me broken and I was left to mend the pieces together but not every shattered glass stays together if it's broken more than once. . . . I'm Harley, a typical badass is what they call me but only if they knew. I'll give you guys a little peek of what you are involving yourself in. I just recently moved from London to New York. My best friends live here so it's not like I will miss London. That place just wasn't home anymore . What I wasn't expecting here was to meet a certain green eyed boy or secrets getting revealed making me never trust again. Life really wanted to give me lemons and I gladly took it. Now the main question is... Is it really all just a myth? Or was I hallucinating all of it? . . . TRIGGER WARNING : Self harm and abuse is mentioned in the book. - those who are sensitive to this topic, I advise you to skip those parts or don't read the book. . . Contains sexual assualt. Read it at your own risk. Cover credit goes to : @fatimakaleem1 #werewolf #romance #badass #highschool #badboy #friendship #queenbee
