"What are you going to do now?" I asked completely disheveled by the news she just confirmed. I stared at the small tray of drugs and pills that sat on her drawer, trying as much as I possibly could to distract myself. She looked too calm and at ease for someone going through this type of ailments. 

I on the other hand, was trying all that I could to not cry again infront of her. I haven't cried in freaking months, but through out today, I've been sobbing non-stop. 

"Nothing. There's really nothing I can do now". She smiled. I watched her calm resolve go down the drain as a single teardrop, streamed down her flushed cheeks. And just like that, I found myself crying for the fourth time today.

****

Love, they say is one of the strongest forces on earth, and rightfully so. One is completely blinded and fooled by the intricacies of this vile feeling. The same feeling that has wholly engulfed me, but different in some way. 
The love I'd known all my life was from my family, a platonic or agape form of love, and even that came with it's share of hurt. The pain I felt when mum died was completely unimaginable, and deep. It felt like my soul was being injured, like my very being wasn't... complete anymore. It still isn't, but now it's so much worse. Why does life continually try to beat the crap out of me? Why show me a glimpse of hope when you know it won't last?

Why drop someone as precious as Aurora into my life, then take her away?

MadCap Molly: Would You Go Mad With Sadness by NoShameIn
33 parts Complete Mature
The steady beeping of hospital machines plays an obnoxious melody in the background. The drips of rainfall play another tune against the windows. Thunder slams into my chest. The crackling of lightning connects with the earth. Whispers of well-being, health and statements that everything will be okay, are off beat. Each sound is more irritating than the last. My mother's cackle digs into my soul. Lyssa's rage suffocates my aura, engulfing me. Curtis's smile fades with the kindness of his eyes. The prevalence of my certain demise is evident. I reach out to the only piece of light I can make out in this dim catacomb. The light gets smaller with every blink. My tears create a pool of foul substance at my feet. The sting of who I was just a few months ago attempts to will itself large, bigger, and stronger than what is about to overcome me. My fight is withering. My sense of self is demolished; diminished by trauma and self-loathing. I reach into the reflection of the mirror I find myself in front of. I am connected with another me. A me I don't recognize. A tug of war ensues. I pull, she pulls, we both lose. An inner soul fight coincides with my reflection. We yell at each other, begging the other to let go with the promise that everything is going to be fine. To trust. Breathing heavily as I blink myself awake, my heart races and my mouth dries. In the third book of the MM series, Molly continues her fight to find her way through her pain. The fight seems to be winning while she attempts to heal. College, partying, family, new friends and experiences are altering her sense of reality and how her future will be shaped.
Why Me | Book 1 by AlyGreen702

When life gets out of hand, plans change and her past comes to get her. Will she be able to keep up her facade? Or will she let her hidden, true self come to the surface? Will she be able to keep all the promises she ever made; or will she break them, one, by one? What if friendship turns into more, even though she's trying so hard to fight it. And what happens, when the demons in Emily's head take over and she loses control over everything around her? When her heart tells her to keep fighting but her mind won't. Who will be able to save her from her darkness? --- Trigger Warning --- "It's not your fault, Sweetheart. I made my decision. You couldn't have changed it." She stands in front of me. Her eyes are bloodshot red as usual. Her lips blue and her face pale, the sling around her throat. "I want you back. I miss you so much." I cry and she pulls me into a hug. I breathe in her scent. She's ice cold and I can't make out a heartbeat. "I know you do. I love you so much, keep that in your mind, my love." My grip around her tightens and I bury my face in her chest. "Please don't let go." I sob as her grip around me becomes loose. "No mom. Stay!" Her arms fall down at my sides and she starts vanishing in my arms. "No! Mommy! Come back! I need you!" I fall onto my knees and start shaking. I sit up straight in my bed. Meeting mom's eyes in the picture on my nightstand. "Fuck." I whisper, wiping away the tears under my eyes. My head pounds and I'm still shaking a little.
Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
The Wish of a Broken Heart by LovelyLotus84
78 parts Ongoing
They say, "Be careful what you wish for." They say, "There's truth to every story." They say, "Karma's a B***h." A heart's wish is a powerful thing. But magic doesn't exist. Or so I thought. Now, a troll has found me. ************* Cara I can't... It hurts... Why? Am I not good enough? Not pretty enough? What did I do to be betrayed like this? I feel numb except for the gaping hole in my chest. The darkness starts creeping in. I wish... Heavens how I wish... Friday June 13th I don't know when, how, or why I ended up where I am, but here I am. As insane as it sounds, I am no longer on earth. I think. Maybe I'm dead. Or maybe I'm in a coma! One where I can feel a hell of a lot of pain and new scents are being created? Maybe, just maybe, I should have listened to Grandmother's crazy stories of magic in our blood and being careful what we wish for. They don't sound so crazy anymore. All I know is I'm on the ground, can't move, staring up at an impossibly blue sky through broken branches of trees I've never seen before. That's saying a lot. Botany is my favorite hobby. I think I have internal bleeding from falling through the three-story tall trees like a pinball. My only regrets are knowing my Mum will be in a panic, won't quit searching, and my sweet American Pit Bull Terrier, Nimuë, fell through with me. ************* Tavirian Our laws are clear. If we find any creature wounded past the point of healing, we kill them. It's a mercy. We've gotten a reputation for being ruthless and cannibalistic because of it. Hundreds of years ago, perhaps, but not anymore. I'm still a monster. I'm on my ancestral pilgrimage to present the spirits with my potential brides. I'm not thrilled with my options. My mate is out there, but the elders are pushing me to take one of our Tribe. When we come across a nearly dead, tiny human and her creature, I can't kill them. Especially now. I can use the pilgrimage to save them for now, but I'll need help.

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
A Poet's Secret by ookayooh
16 parts Complete
Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.
