TW: This story is about a girl named Tessa Sunderland who suffers from anorexia nervosa, but she gets caught up with drama and a typical bad boy.
(the mental illnesses I will be mainly focusing on is anorexia nervosa, ocd, and anxiety. but there may be other triggering illnesses such as bpd, bipolar disorder, depression etc..)
I am in no way romanticizing mental illnesses, and I am sure I will get hate for this story. I am simply portraying life events that I have went through myself and just displaying how the world truly is. There will be romantic love interests but it will not have anything to do with their mental illnesses, keep reading if it sounds interesting.

She planned on being alone and pushed everyone who loved her away. She gets bullied relentlessly even though she tries her hardest not to be seen. But in our society,the more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed. When Logan Williams came bursting into her life like he did, she didn't know what to think of this charming boy.

She wants absolutely nothing to do with Logan,but somehow he finds a way to meddle his way into her life. And when he figures out more about Kira,he's more than shocked. He doesn't see a girl who hates the entire world ,but hates herself even more. He doesn't see a fat, ugly, whore when gazing into her eyes. He sees a girl who's been wronged by the world left and right. He sees a girl who cares music more than she cares about her own life. He sees a person who needs love. But not everyone who you try to save ends up being saved in the end. Sometimes it's just too late. As Kira always says ,"Happily ever after was so once upon a time."
