Erica Colton didn't ask to be famous. 
She didn't ask for the looks of pity and the sympathy cards.
She didn't ask for any of it that night in the darkness.

I Loved You Blindly [Complete] by Water_Lili

'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

In The Dark by mreadz69

Mia Graham. I've always thought of the world to be a good place. The people in it as well. This man is definitely intimidating and a bit scary but I see how sweet and caring he is. He shows me a lot but he hides even more. He thinks he's the dark and he's determined to show me that he's not worth my time. But he doesn't understand he's all I'll ever want. He doesn't get that I love every dark piece of him. I want everything. But I don't know if he'll let me have it all. Ryder Carson. The world is a terrible place. The people might be worse. That's all I've ever known. But this woman is a masterpiece. An angel. This world is unworthy of her light. These people get to bask in it when all they deserve is to be scalded. This life is terrible. But she's making it a whole lot better. She's making it seem worth it. I just don't deserve her. I'm drowning in the dark and I will not drag her down with me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Strong language, 6 year age-gap, alcoholism, violence, mature-content, mental health, etc. Read warning list. Thanks for reading!

All the bad butterflies by butdaddyhemyboo

"You wouldn't love me if the lights were on, Reid". There are tears in my eyes and a heart in my hands, the only reminder that I'm still alive. Jane Austen was not right. I am filled with nothing but agony. But how come it turns into hope every second I breathe the same air as him? "Go ahead, light this room on fire and watch what my last words are, Kara". And in that second, another one of the million ones I've spent with him by my side, in that second, I realized that the heart I held in my hands was his. It was his from the very beginning. I will make sure he lives, he's too selfless to die.

Life Without You by luv_ash1234

After the sudden death of her sister, Sierra finds herself spiraling into a darkness she can't seem to get out of. She just can't picture living without her sister in her life. Sierra struggles as she navigates through her grief and all the demons from her past. With the help of the people she'd least expect will she be able to overcome her heartbreaking loss? Or will the darkness she feels break her? ------------------------- "I don't want to feel like this anymore." I sobbed "Feel like what, Sierra?" "Like I don't want to live anymore." The words slipped out of my lips before I could stop them. I had tried to push the feeling into the back of my head, hoping it would just go away. But obviously it hadn't worked because I had just told Sam my darkest thought. I wanted to die. ------------------------- #1 in teenlove out of 1.69k stories - 4/4/24 #3 in loss out of 1.75k stories - 9/9/23 #12 in sexualassault out of 2.02k stories - 9/4/23 #1 in help out of 1.54k stories - 10/1/23 #1 in sad out of 1.79k stories - 10/19/23 #1 in depression out of 1.82k stories - 10/19/23 #1 in anxiety out of 1.79k stories - 10/19/23 #5 in love out of 1.89k stories - 10/19/23 #2 in mental health out of 1.95k stories - 10/20/23
