Saving Hope
saving hope it is about a girl who goes through a number imaginable things. She dealt with the loss of her father and the remarriage she had to go through with an abusive stepfather who drank too much, she had to suffer from anxiety, depression, and ptsd. At first it was a project in middle school that me and four other friends decided to do because we all loved writing and we were learning about the world and all the mess that it was we were learning about all the bad before we got to the good. And we wanted to write about it. I had gotten abused and wrote the main thing happening in the beginning. But as I was writing over the years it took a change. I experienced loss and abuse and I felt like the whole world was crumbling around me and my mind was telling me I was alone. I started to write my story tweaked enough to where no one could tell. I put in things that wouldn't happen in real life but made a good story but the base of it was me. It doesn't have a happy ending but it has a meaning to me. I call it my brain vomit and my novel baby. It isn't perfect but neither am I. I have been wanting to publish this fully and I have on a seperate wattled account under the name bad boys mission and took it down. under the username GOTTO14 I have also published two other books on that wattpad account called believe and wildflower if you wanna go check those out aswell.Complete

THE FORGOTTEN HOPE
THE FORGOTTEN HOPE AN: this book is crap. Honestly. I wrote it like years ago. The trope is shit and the spelling is even worse. Don't read it or at least, don't expect much :) ************* Second book First is: the forgotten hope ************* So tell me, Where shall I go? To the left, Where nothing's right? Or to the right, Where nothing's left? ************* "So what's going on" my best friend asked "Nothing" I lied "That's a lie" she searched for my eyes "How would you know" I look up to her "I know because you haven't smiled since that night" ************* 🚨WARNING🚨 1. This is a very cliche story 2. I'm dutch and this story is english. So if the grammar is wrong or the words are misspelled. That's why 3. this story is specific and had triggers for anyone with suicidal thoughts or depression.Complete
