Collin Fitzpatrick has suffered from depression since he was twelve years old, crushed by a darkness with no name, living in the shadows of his trauma. A boy who's spent most of his teenage years wishing he wasn't living at all. When Collin's parents reach their breaking point, they have no choice but to send him to the "best mental health program" in New York. 
Margo July has allowed her bipolar disorder to control her life, manipulating all her relationships and destroying any possibility of normalcy. Margo's a girl with a wild mind and an insatiable need for adventure. Her parents don't send her to Orchard Hills for its reputation, though. They send her there to get rid of her.
So when the boy from 213 and the girl from 217 cross paths, they start to realize that perhaps misery and mental hospitals aren't all there is to life. But even the brightest lights dim, and Collin fears Margo July's light will either revive him or cause his downfall.

The Price We Pay     #3 in Merciless Series by moonchildnessa
32 parts Complete
There are ways of dying that do not end with a funeral. Types of deaths you can't see, feel or smell. Because death, just like love, has a mind of its own and some things can't be prevented. What started as an innocent high school quest in search of truth and revenge quickly turned into something entirely else. Something that Aspen Cornwell never anticipated. Something that shatters her entire reality, leaving her without an idea what to do next. She has lost almost everything that mattered to her so losing herself doesn't really make that much of a difference to her. When Collin Adamms returns back with a new dose of truth about what really happened to Courtney Chapel, alongside with his new-found memory that he lost due to his temporary retrograde amnesia, he finds Aspen in a state he would have never imagined. She seems like an entirely different person and reminds him so much of himself. They are both stuck in a vicious cycle of lies, schemes and addictions and Collin's determined to finally make things right. He tries desperately to save Aspen from her own self-destruction because the price they all have been paying seems like too much and he's not willing to pay anymore. Definitely not for something someone else should be paying for. But saving someone else while also trying to save yourself from demons constantly shadowing your every move might be more difficult than he thought. And maybe they aren't done paying for all the lies just yet.

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.

There was only one word to describe them - Inseparable. Marlene and Leandrea are your twin goals. The perfect siblings who did everything together, did everything for each other and if the time came, they would willingly sacrifice their life for the other. However, the true test of their love begins when Marlene is diagnosed with leukemia - a fatal cancer. On the road to save her sister, Leandrea finds herself doing things she never thought she would do - stepping out of her comfort zone, socializing, hanging out with the popular kids and gradually but most importantly - falling in love. But when she finds out what's really at stake in this mission, will saving Marlene be her top priority? Or will Ryden Andrews - the school's not-so bad, bad boy and a growing deathly cancer be all it takes to separate the inseparable? Will this treacherous bit of life change these twins for the better or scar them for eternity? As soon as they got themselves stuck in this situation, they knew there was no turning back. Only one of them could capture Ryden's heart and only one of them could live. ☆★☆ Highest Ranking: #69 in Teen Fiction ☆★☆ This book has been written, edited and published by me from scratch and is purely fictional.
