do you remember who you were?
before society told you what was right or wrong. before you knew what was acceptable. before a number and a piece of paper dictated your life. before you had to fit an ideal mold in order for people to like you.
do you remember?
-----------------------------
Meet Arabella Davidson. A girl who gets high as if she could find herself amongst the clouds. With a GPA as low as her self esteem, she has dug herself a grave and has come to terms with it. She dabbles in a world of drugs, toxicity, and adventure.
While Jacian Smith is a boy who escapes reality through his artwork. With an eating disorder, he is paying the consequences that come with perfection. He suffers in a world of starving, painting, and hate.
When their worlds collide, they begin to lose themselves in each other. And maybe, just maybe, that is just what they need to remember. To remember who they were, before society stole them.

Angels Can't Die
"Arabella step down from there!" I yelled, reaching for her. I was ready to jump over the rail to grab her if I needed to. I was willing to do anything at this point. There was no telling what would happen with her gone. I was true to my words, I needed her in my life. "Angel's can't die. Right?" She turned to me one last time and smiled, a peaceful expression coming to her face before she closed her eyes and fell back towards the rushing water below. -------------------- Dylan Garcia had everything he could ask for in his life. A good mother, friends, good grades, a girlfriend. There really was nothing more he could ask for. That was, until his girlfriend took her own life. It was a horrid death that Dylan blamed on himself. He was, after all, the last person she had spoke with. If only he had stayed at her house a little bit longer. In the hopes of healing his broken soul, Dylan runs into little Arabella Seto, a girl who seemed to be lost herself.

I Might Need You
I swipe away a piece of hair falling in front of her face. I watch as she sleeps softly. She is all that matters to me now. She is every beat. Every breath. Every dream. Everything. You normally have those stories, where the good girl falls in love with the bad boy. He hurts her and breaks her heart multiple times. This is the complete opposite. Nova Dixon isn't someone to be friends with, and definitely not one to fall in love with. Dustin Clark breaks those rules, and decides that Nova is his new drug, his addiction. No matter how hard he tries to stay away, it isn't possible. He wants her. Needs her even. But she cant give him what he wants. **I know there seems to be a lot of chapters, but most of my chapters are 1000-2000 words. Only a few of them have more** 200,000-220,000 word countComplete
Fragments of Him
She thought she'd let it all go---until the memories came back. Years after middle school, the past still lingers in unexpected ways. Through dreams and quiet moments, she starts to remember pieces of a time she thought she'd outgrown. A boy. A friend group. A version of herself she hasn't seen in years that she almost forgot about. What begins as nostalgia slowly unravels into something deeper---a quiet ache she never named, emotions she buried before she understood them. As she sorts through the fragments, she begins to realize: healing doesn't always come from forgetting. Sometimes, it comes from remembering. A reflective and emotional coming-of-age story told through memory, loss, and the subtle power of looking back. Based on a true storyComplete
If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete
RUNe
Cerridwen writes poetry because poems don't ask questions. People do. For years, she has survived by keeping her secrets hidden. At school, she's quiet and forgettable. At home, she's trapped in a reality she never speaks about. The only escape she has is the poetry she pours onto paper under the name Hermit. Only one person knows the truth. Tristan has always been there to help her endure. To stay silent. To survive. Then Ash arrives. Where Tristan encourages silence, Ash asks questions. Where Tristan teaches her to endure, Ash wants her to fight back. As the fragile world Cerri has built begins to crack, she finds herself torn between the comfort of what she's always known and the terrifying possibility of something different. With her poetry as both refuge and confession, Cerri must confront the question she's spent her whole life avoiding: What does healthy love look like when every example she's ever had was distorted? Will she continue hiding her RuNeS? Or will she finally RUN? My name is Cerridwen. And this is my poetry.Complete
