Leelah was in a funk.  Her family knew it, her friends knew it, even her dogs knew it.  How could she not know it herself?  She wasn't stupid.  She knew why she was in a funk.  She knew it wasn't healthy, she knew her family and friends, and even her dogs were worried about her.  She knew that she had to get over it and move on.  What she didn't know was how.  It was like she had stepped out of the lane of the living and was now having trouble getting back into it.  

Raiden Feng was in a similar situation.  Raised in a family with strict ideas of success, family, and duty, Raiden has worked hard to be at the top of the business world.  He is known to be aloof, ruthless, and single minded.  His work was his life.  Nobody would guess the rediculously rich tycoon was feeling bored with the monotony of his narrow world.   

Can two, seemingly VERY different individuals help each other out of the holes they are both stuck in?  with so many differences, there are bound to be obstacles and misunderstandings.  But maybe they are just what the other needs to return to life.

30 parts Complete Mature
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.

"I want to help you." His bright eyes sparkle in the moonlight. "You can't help me! You hurt me!" By now, the tears I had been desperately trying to hold back finally slip out. "They hurt you!" As he yells, the anger in his voice eases out; his eyes are filled with familiar sadness. "I have nowhere else to go." I shoot back, taking a step away from him, afraid he will strike me as everyone else does. As soon as he notices this, his eyes widen, and his fists relax. "Come with me." He responds, hope gleaming in his eyes. I look up at the bright moon shining down on us as the breeze ruffles my hair. "Come with you?" I question. Just as he nods my dizziness takes over, sending me to the ground. His hands wrap around me, barely catching me. "Don't let them hurt me." I whisper, looking into his eyes, trying to not let the spinning world take me. "They won't hurt you anymore. Ever." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tivelly always seemed like the popular girl, always filling the room with her laughs and bright smiles. No one had noticed the excess of makeup that would occasionally be used to hide the bruises. The words "I love you" being foreign to her. Kaiden has always been one of the guys that her attention is always brought to. The heartthrob every girl wants, but no one ever gets. It took one drunk Tivelly and a Kaiden in his right mind to get them to form a friendship. They both have baggage that weighs on their hearts heavily. Now all they need is each other to get through the storm that's about to hit them head on. Sexual abuse Mental abuse Physical abuse

"I want to believe I'm doing the right thing for me," she whispered. "So, I can break out of my shell, you know? It just feels so wrong." "Sometimes," he started thoughtfully. "You think you're chasing the right life. Instead, you're pulling yourself away from the one you really need." ⚠️ This story will contain drug use, sex scenes, strong language, domestic abuse, sexual abuse and suicide.⚠️ Please read at your own discretion. *Please know that I do not support these themes in real life.
