This short story is fictional, but based off of true events.
This tells the story of Freya Alexander from the point of view of Quinton, a boy who very well might have been Freya's only true friend.
This story also features Freya's inside perspective of what's happening from her journal.
Quinton reflects, Freya speaks first hand.
Freya is the most popular girl in school. Everyone sees her as perfect, but no one knows she has deep troubles, except for Quinton.
No one sees the damage inside of her, except Quinton.
But what Quinton didn't know was how severe Freya's suffering really was.
Warning: depending on how sensitive you are, this could be a trigger at some points.
I will always be here for anyone who needs me.
Love you bunches.

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideationComplete
