Honey and Scars by totallyMegMarch

In a vineyard in Italy lives 17 year old Hannah. You probably hear many that stories start this way, but I will assure you this isn't quite like many others you've probably read. Hannah's struggled with body image issues, and self harm since a young age. She's always had supportive, loving parents, and her family is awful rich. The vineyard they live in is large, and she pretty much gets free rein during the summers, however during the school year both her and her parents are extremely serious about grades, and she's determined to succeed. She wants to attend a collage in America, and that takes lots of work. She studies all of the time, and when she's not studying she's reading. She has many secrets whom she's never told anyone, not even her closest friend Vitoria, because even she knew she couldn't dare to handle it. She was fine with the way life was. She had almost gotten used to it, until of course she met Matteo, who to say the least changed her life. For the better?

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

He leaves London and moves to his native Manchester, where he starts from scratch. She meets two boys, as well as their somewhat demanding and problematic father, who again awakens the desire to live in it.
