Draft preview of a story i need to currently write.
It is very different from my usual works.

Trigger warning: It involves the trauma suffered by a divorced woman from mental abuse during her marriage.
Although not directly depicted, it is talked about.

Simon, a 46 year old writer, moves into a new neighbourhood. When he untangles Tabitha, the 7 year old neighbour girl, he suspects all is not well with her and Vivianne, her 38 year old mother and highschool teacher.
When he becomes more aquinted with them over time, he learns from Vivianne about her abusive relationship and her loss of trust in men.
Despite this, they build a friendship over their mutual desire to no longer become romantically involved with someone.
When Vivianne's ex-husband keeps showing up and is twice chased away by Simon, he proposes to live together to take care of each other without any romantic strings attached and Vivianne reluctantly accepts because she no longer wants to see her daughter live in fear.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? 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. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

A short story I had to write for English Class, but I decided to post it here! I am really happy with how this turned out, but I have a few warnings for it. This short story includes talk about being gay and bi, as well as contains physical and emotional abuse. If you are triggered by any of these things please don't read. This has come from all of my own thoughts. I will include a pre-write I did in English class to help us brainstorm ideas. I am sorry if it's confusing, but I wanted to try something new.
