[#405 in Mystery] There has been a sudden rash of suicides amongst the teenagers of Mahnomen, Minnesota, and while it's certainly tragic, there's been nothing to indicate foul play. 

Except for one thing.

None of the teenager's cell phones have been recovered, and sixteen-year-old Nanette Townsend becomes desperate to prove there is more to the deaths of her classmates than meets the eye. As she draws closer to the truth, however, she struggles to recognize friend from foe and resist the darkness that lies dormant in all of us.

This is a FIRST DRAFT. This story was written in a month for the #JustWriteIt #SerialMystery challenge, and due to the time constraints (and my insane work schedule) I wasn't able to put as much thought and time into developing this story as I would have liked. But that's the beauty of contests! 

There are themes of suicide in this story. There is nothing graphic, but please let me know if you think this story warrants a "mature" rating and I will change it.

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

Robyn Finch's world shatters when she loses her older brother, Luka, to suicide. Grief-stricken and haunted by the horrific memory of his death, Robyn moves to Illinois with her younger brother, hoping for a fresh start. But the scars of her past follow her-anxiety, PTSD, depression, and overwhelming suicidal thoughts consume her every day. Struggling to keep herself afloat in the wake of Luka's loss, Robyn's life feels like an endless battle. When she starts at her new high school, Robyn's attention is drawn to Lyriq Taylor, a confident and popular junior with a sharp edge. But despite the spark that ignites between them, Lyriq is distant, cold, and unwelcoming. She mocks Robyn, rejecting her with a cruel disdain that leaves Robyn questioning if she's truly capable of finding any kind of connection in this new life. However, as Robyn finds herself drawn to Lyriq in ways she can't explain, she's forced to confront the darkness that lingers in her own soul while fighting to win over Lyriq's heart. But in the midst of high school cliques, personal demons, and constant bullying, Robyn must decide if she can rise above her struggles and be the person she needs to be-not just for Lyriq, but for herself. In this gripping story of love, loss, and self-discovery, Robyn and Lyriq must navigate their own complicated pasts, finding strength in the most unexpected places. Will they be able to heal together, or will their own battles tear them apart? Welcome to 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒

"She's right! She's right! I don't cut in the right spot." My hold tightens on my wrist. The red blood oozes out of my wrist. I slide up and grab my bag and run out of the bathroom. I don't care if people can see the blood I just want to get out. I race for the doors and shove through people. I earn a lot of glares and glances that read "weirdo." I ignore and push. I run to my house and lock myself in my bathroom. I don't bother closing the front door cause I don't care if people come in to kill me. I grab my razor and cut deep cuts into my arm and wrists falling into a pool of my own blood. • • • Evangeline has a great life. Friends? Check! Good grades? Check! Loving family? Check! But what if she has secrets that nobody knows of? What if the only thing she can trust is her secret diary? What if slowly but surly she's dying inside? How can an innocent twelve year old deal with these problems? Will she keep on facing these problem till the day she breaks. Her school burns down forcing her into a different school to meet different people and she has to fit into a different lifestyle as well. Meet Evangeline. Now at 17 years of age in a new high school. Not all girls anymore. No uniform. Meet Drake. Your classic bad-boy. He just moved to Saint Abigail high school. He is assigned partners with the quiet, calm, unnoticed Evangeline. As time progresses he finds that she isn't as happy on the inside as she is on the outside. Can he save her? Or is it too late? • • • Some rude language. Depression and cutting. Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.
