"W-what's your name?" I ask, as this kind teenager that is helping me, when I don't even know how to thank him. 

"I'm Kayden, but I've always wanted to be called Maine" he says.

"I-I don't like to be c-called Lynn I prefer D-Darcy" I say.

"Okay Darcy, are you feeling calmer?" He asks me.

"I f-feel a little better. T-Thanks for b-before Maine" I say, pulling my sleeves over my hands.

On the first week of her senior year, she is surprised by the kindness of a not so popular, but popular jerk that runs most of the school. What happens when both of them start to fall apart, crying is a everyday thing. But falling together was fate.

"Now my thoughts on Shy and Anxiety are two different things" "Everyone knows that"

50 parts Complete
New Country. New School. New Friends. New Life. New Beginning. Fresh Start. Clean Slate. Start Over. Have you ever wanted to move away and start all over again? That’s all Vanessa has ever wanted. She wants to move away from the life she has grown to hate and start her life all over again. Bullies. Abuse. Depression. Self-Hatred. Weak. Useless. Pathetic. Lost. Feeling unwanted and under-appreciated aren’t new feelings for young Vanessa Bell, living in constant fear and worry isn’t either. It can take just a few words to bring someone’s self-esteem plummeting for the ground and add a few bruises here and there and all self-worth will be lost. Feeling numb from all the pain is usually a good thing but when you’ve been hurt so much to the point where you don’t feel anything anymore. You’ll often find yourself asking “What is the point?” or “Why do I even bother?” Maybe Vanessa will find her way, maybe in a place called Sydney, maybe with the help of a boy named Luke. When Vanessa chooses to “Start All Over” maybe she’ll find it’s the best decision she’s ever made. {Warning: Will contain triggering thoughts and action and involves sensitive topics like depression, death, suicide and abuse} **This is very poorly written because when I wrote it I was 13 so please read knowing that I was a very dumb 13 year-old or read later when I've finished rewriting which is a slow process but I'm getting there, sorry** UNDERGOING EDITING COPYRIGHT © 2012-2013 CUDDLINGHEMMINGS
Emma: Seventh Grade by Parakeetlover18
52 parts Complete Mature
As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back. Although a reunion is coming up, a year can change a person drastically, and as they say, change is inevitable. Will Lilith be able to reconnect with Billie? Or is it seemingly hopeless? Will Lilith finally remember Billie? Or did change form Lilith into a completely different person? ~~~ (This is the Second Book to the first book called 'Sweet Belladonna'. I highly recommend you go back to read the first one before continuing on reading this one, or else you'll be majorly confused.) ~~~ AU (Alternate Universe); Though some characters are real, this is fiction.

Weathered Love

"You're not a burden," he said. "OK," I said, again, trying to play it off like I didn't care. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up the façade. I could feel the tears banging against the barricade just behind my eyelids, the sobs clawing at the walls of my throat... they were demanding to be let out. "Don't shut me out," he begged in a desperate whisper. *** If only the guys in Ivy's life could be as in love with her as she is with them. Ever the tomboy to keep herself from getting hurt, Ivy knows it's safer to yearn from afar than it is to love up-close. What happens when a new guy shows up at her high school and starts to treat her as more than a friend? What happens when she goes off to college? Will she be liberated? Loved? Or is she condemned to a life on the sidelines, always the buddy, never THAT GIRL?
