Florinda 'Rindy' Carmichael just had a life transplant. As if adjusting to her stepmom Margie wasn't bad enough, her father decided it was time to move to South Carolina for a fresh start-while all Rindy wants now is to run in the Suicide Awareness Marathon to honor her mother, stay away from her family, and forget everything that happened in the last year.
	She fills her time running, until she starts spending with her neighbor, at first because she was forced and later because he agreed to run in the marathon with her... if she attends his morning devotions. Ever since her mother's death, though, she has been giving God the silent treatment. How could He leave her with a stepmother like Margie if He truly loved her? When Rindy becomes sick, she realizes the Margie may be showing love in the best way she knows how. Can Rindy still run in the Suicide Awareness Marathon and care about Margie? Can Rindy heal from her past and accept the life God gave her?All Rights Reserved

Head Above Water by carmelitadentlinger

When Kim Young (17) survived his suicide attempt rocking everyone's world around him he finds himself trying to move on as he tries to prevent old habits from pushing him off the edge. ********************* "I love you" she said softly and he bit his lips. She lifted her head and looked at him, her eyes widened. He smiled. "I love you too" he said what she wanted to hear and she pressed a kiss on his lips before laying her head on his chest again. But did he really love her? Did she really love him? If she did, she wouldn't have lashed out on him in his hospital bed while they were pumping pills from his stomach. And if he loved her, he wouldn't have been in the hospital in the first place. She would have been some sort of reason why he wanted to live.

Rise (Colton Dixon) by pricelesstrashpanda

When she was little, Alexis had it all. Rich parents who she believed in her heart loved her more than anything else, a huge house, a Nanny to take care of her while her parents were at work, and anything else she needed or wanted. And then, one night that she thought would be like all the others tore all of that apart. Now, she and her mother barely make enough to stay alive, their poverty heavily due to her mom's nights in the bar, forgetting about life. Younger siblings come, then leave in abortion, through Alexis's mother's love life, and the one person she'd actually learned to trust again is newly dead by cancer. And her mother has just remarried the person she used to call "Daddy". Her only real friend is the razor that stays in her pocket or on her arm through the thick and the thin of life. Then, while her parents are on their honeymoon after getting remarried, with nothing to do and oblivious of the religion... or relationship... behind the bands she's going to see, Alexis goes to a little concert by the name of Winter Jam, with no real concept of what she's seeing besides a love of Skillet, a bare idea of Britt Nicole, and the songs she listens to by NF on her way there. When a chance meeting with a stranger turns into getting drug to the meet-and-greet line for a not-so-chance meeting with Colton Dixon, Alexis has no idea that it will change her life forever. But with a leading of Holy Spirit on his heart, and a glimpse of Alexis's arms under her sleeves burning in his memory, Colton finds it impossible to stand oblivious to the downward spiral he can see in Alexis's life. But it's a spiral she gave into long ago, and it will take every ounce of strength either of them has in them for Alexis to rise above the world and into the arms of Christ.

Tired of Lies by MissYanxiet

*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.
