When Did It Go Wrong?
In the midst of his teenage years, a 14-year-old high schooler found himself falling deeply in love for the very first time. However, there was a catch - his beloved was far away, and their relationship was bound by distance. Despite the odds stacked against them, the young boy refused to give up, fighting valiantly to keep the flame of their love burning bright. But fate is a fickle mistress, and three years later, tragedy struck. The boy received the heartbreaking news that his long-distance girlfriend had passed away. Consumed by grief and struggling to make sense of his loss, he turned to his diary for solace, seeking answers to the question that haunted him day and night: when did it all go wrong? As he embarked upon the daunting task of unraveling the enigma before him, our protagonist found himself confronted with an array of formidable obstacles that threatened to entangle him in their grasp and impede his progress. These challenges, which were to prove more insurmountable than he had anticipated, weighed heavily upon him, shackling his life and casting doubt upon his ability to overcome them. Thus began a journey of self-discovery, as the young boy poured his heart out onto the pages of his diary, reliving the memories of his past and grappling with the harsh realities of the present. From the highs of first love to the lows of crushing loss, his story is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.)Concluida

Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionConcluida
