Summary: A teenage girl who is tired of life, starts thinking about ending it way too often. People are assholes, life is unfair, what's the point of living anyway? Some try to change her mind or ease it just like Caelum(Kay-lum) did but most of them don't even notice that something is wrong.
But Braelynn(Bray-lin) tries to stay strong, find reasons to live. Does she succeed is the question. Is there something beyond all of this? Can we really trust ourselves or are we just blinded by everything else?
You never know what people are capable of, what they are thinking of doing, so be careful what you say, or else you are going to have a death on your hands.
'Does it hurt after we die? What if we are only free when we are gone? Where do we go after that? Does God exist? Is life just a stupid game?' Questions that I soon might know the answer to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I said playfully 'Soo, I beat your ass' he came closer, looking challenged 'Is that so?' I tried to step back, but I hit the wall 'W-well yeah' he looked me up and down, with burning passion closed the space between us and bent down until I could feel his breath on my neck 'I never lose, Lynn' he whispered into my ear. I was so bewildered, my knees almost gave in and before I could fall, he stepped back, smirked at me and walked away as if nothing had happened.
I dislike this guy so much and yet he keeps coming back, leaving me wanting more.

How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly.

The Next Door Neighbour
All's fair in love and babysitting. • • • Shailene Avery is hated by one person, and one person only: Brayden Ferguson Fields. Saturated in sarcasm and edgy teenage angst, Brayden is the one person Shailene cannot understand, like, or even pretend to get along with. And no matter how nice she is to him at their frequent neighbourly get-togethers, or as they stand awkwardly at the bus stop in the mornings, or during the countless nights of having to babysit their younger siblings together ("because double date night" is the lacklustre reason given by her parents), she still cannot get through to him. Because he hates her. And that is that. Brayden Fields has 99 problems, and his pain-in-the-ass neighbour is one of them. Shailene Rose Avery is loved by everyone for reasons Brayden can't even try to understand. Her incessant chattering and fruitless attempts at friendship give him a migraine, and he only ever talks to her when he absolutely has to. Honestly, if he had to choose between being poisoned by anthrax or spending an entire day with her - well, let's just say he'd have a hard time deciding. They avoid each other as much as possible, because - let's be honest - it's better that way. But what happens when they don't get a say? What happens when fate decides to throw them together over and over again? What happens when they learn there's more to a book than just the cover? | does this have a plot??? who even knows. also idk why it says completed April 2020, I finished this book in 2017 lol | highest rank - #107 babysit #75 thirdpersonComplete
