The Happy Ending

Marius switches schools at the beginning of his Junior year and meets Jae. Jae is attracted to Marius but is not accepting of these feelings, so he, instead, bullies and beats Marius. As the story progresses, Jae's mental health deteriorates, and life as he knows it falls apart. The people who ultimately pick up the pieces of Jae's broken self and helps him put them back together turn out to be people Jae never expected to stand up for him. Life turns out to be pretty alright.

But, things are never what they seem. And for Jake, Jae's best friend, life is especially brutal.

***sad ending***

I do not condone violence or homophobia of any kind, nor am I intending on romanticizing them. This is a work of fiction, but it also serves to show how important mental health truly is. I am a big believer that the mind requires just as much care as the body, and that everyone deserves to pursue their happiness and be loved and accepted by the right people. I also keep editing, even after I've edited and published. It sucks editing your own stuff because mistakes keep popping up :(

I'm relatively new with story writing, and I'll admit that it kind of sucks starting out, but please read! It's brutal and sad at times, and it will probably trigger some... A lot of... people, but it gets better! Or at least I feel it does.

WARNING:
This story contains a lot of the following mature content:

*profanity
*physical violence
*bullying
*homophobic language
*mentions of self-harming behavior/suicide and other symptoms of poor mental health
*sexually mature content between two (and three) males - high smut content

If any of the aforementioned mature subjects bother you, then please click away, now. But I hope you, dear reader, will give it a chance!

Some of what I write might not be very realistic or accurate, but it's my story, and I'll write it to my heart's desire... Just so you are aware.
