I See You
The cruel world has delt multiple misfortunes for the two friends, Daisy and James. Neither of them know each other, neither of them have friends. Well, James has friends. But none he considers true friends, no one to really lean on. When they meet each other, they realise that what they have already delt with in the past just scratches the surface of what the world has to offer to them. This is a story about family, friends, and how the four main characters struggle against the battle of mental health. Trigger warning: Since the story discusses mental health, there are brief mentions of self harm and suicidal thoughts. If these topics trigger you in any way, or if you are not in a safe space, please refrain from reading. I have also included trigger warnings for the chapters that are especially triggering.
