Set into Motion*
"We were like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage,
You know I'm never gonna let you go,
We're like a time bomb
Gonna lose it
Let's defuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb,
But I need it,
Wouldn't have it any other way."

We All Fall Down. (Jack Barakat of All Time Low)
I wrote this a long time ago, when I was 14/15, a time when self harm was something that seemed to just be everywhere in my life. I apologise to anyone who read this before I put this notice here, but I'm pretty sure in every chapter there is some sort of mention of mental illness/self harm. I know I could just take the story down, but it was one of the first ever stories I wrote that I liked and completed, and although I admit now it's not great, it shows progress. And progress is everything. Baby steps. Sorry again. This is an official TRIGGER WARNING. Emma is depressed. She's just been dumped and is being bullied. Can Jack save her or will she break his heart? I own everything in this story apart from lyrics used and bands mentioned, the storyline is my own and I'd appreciate it if you didn't take it or any element of my writing.Complete
