The best friends.
The kind that laughs together, even after the teacher told them to stop.
That stay home just to watch TV together.
The type of friends that pretend to be dating even though they're just friends.
But that can change.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
When You Loved Me by justarii_
7 parts Ongoing
Adolescence is a complicated part of anyone's life. Juggling high school, social life, and complex emotions can be exhausting-but the most taxing part of it all is the discovery of one's identity. Amity is still trying to figure out who she is and things only become more difficult after she meets Callie. With the start of their friendship, a whole new side of Amity begins to unravel in the most painfully beautiful way. Their friendship quickly evolves into a legendary and whirlwind romance that teaches Amity the strength and passion of love. Fears of being discovered by homophobic friends and family test the strength of their relationship. But teenagers are naive and, like Amity's mental health, they fall apart, turning a passionate love into a burning heartache. As she navigates the pain, Amity must learn to cope with her internal struggles and face the parts of herself that have been hidden away for so long. When You Loved Me follows the challenging adventures of adolescence, the passion of one's first true love, the devastation of one's first heartbreak, and all the pressure that comes from societal and religious expectations. Yet, despite all the pain, it also explores how to heal. **PLEASE READ** This story will eventually contain the following trigger warnings: prescription drugs/abuse of, depression, anxiety, mental illness, religious themes, religious trauma, internalized/external homophobia, curse words, mentions of suicide, suicide attempts, hospital setting TWs will also be at the beginning of relevant chapters.
