Joy Merck was in a state of oblivious delusion.Okay not quite but close.
With her head in the clouds all the time she has never really understood the problems she has at home.
So when a boy that has scared the shit out of her, made her more annoyed and angry than ever before makes her realize her situation will he stick around to help or will he just leave.
Rumor has it he is only around for more than a few months and never truly gets along with many people, not that he minds of course.
With a turn of events and as realization strikes Joy, all bottled up anger goes directly at the one person that's never really surprised by her outbursts and not so extremely violent attacks.
Follow these to teens on what it's like to have fun with a mix of tears sentimental quotes from something as ridiculous as Spongebob Square pants and hopefully learn that loving and living are truly as the (INNOCENT) romantic novel authors conceive them to be.

Jason Voorhees X Reader (16+)
"I understand you think you love him, but he is a serial killer, (Y/n)." The doctor said. You glared at him, hate filling your heart. Jason is a serial killer yes but he would spare those you asked him to. The ones who would abuse drugs and hurt others would not get a mercy plea. Instead they are in the hands of Jason's wrath. "So you think I don't really love him?" You snarl, trying not to move. The bullet wound hurt you when you acted up. The doctor looked at the nurse with a 'wtf' face. "Stockholm syndrome?" You piped up, doubting it. They both slowly nodded. "You're wrong. I love Jason Voorhees. And I will get back to him." You say softly. DISCLAIMERS: This has some sexual shit and cursing and of course some gore. I update almost everyday unless I'm working on voice acting (Yes I voice act) and yeah so I suggest you being 16+ but considering people don't listen I know kids younger are gonna read on. Also i dont own the cover i found it on google the artist who made that is super talented!

Psychopath [solangelo au]
Nico has lived with that term all his life. Psychopath. He knew it was muttered behind his back when he walked through school. Thats how the world saw him. The boy who hears voices, the guy who talks to himself. Everyone defined him by his mental illness, and no one had ever bothered to know him. The word wasn't even accurate. Having schizophrenia was a pain sometimes, but it didn't mean Nico was crazy, even if the voices told him he was. The real ones, and the ones in his mind. The only person he could ever consider a friend would be his psychologist (aka his therapist), Jenny, who he had grown a strong connection with over the 4 years he had been going to see her. He didn't trust anyone else. Nico knew that no one would look past it all like she does. That is, until Will Solace enters the picture, the happy go lucky college student striving to be a therapist. What could go wrong? . This is a solangelo fan fiction and will have swearing, mental illnesses and there may be triggering moments that will have warnings. I will hopefully capture Nico's point of view accurately, and what he his going through, but I have never experienced schizophrenia so it may not be perfect. . Kinda going through editing? This story has mature themes including drinking, drugs, cursing and mentions of self harm, mentions of eating disorders, and panic attacks. #1 #schizophrenia may 31, 2021 #1 #diangelo November 28, 2021Complete
