The Tally Marks are the lines that grace the skin of the blessed, telling them what stage their delicate love lives are in.  Or at least that's what everyone's told.
Sky has never been 'blessed' with these Tally Marks, and she doesn't want to be. She can deal with the bullying. But how long can she keep it hidden before someone gets hurt? 

(it does contain a lot of depressive stuff and self harming, im really sorry, i dont really like talking about it either)

(Little bit rubbish, but what do you expect from a teen who can barely write and uses it as a refuge to hide form her sown awful problems?)

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos by artsykid04
15 parts Complete Mature
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm. So if you feel uncomfortable with reading about that.. this book is not for you.

Before the Answers

11 parts Complete

Every year on her birthday, Ahana opens a list. A list of questions. Some are silly. Some are sharp. Some feel like wounds pressed too hard. She answers the ones she can. She rewrites the ones that changed. And she adds more questions - because life never stops demanding answers. Because growing up doesn't come with closure. Because some questions linger year after year, waiting. ****** Ahana was always the girl with big dreams, perfect grades, and the kind of ambition that made adults smile and other teenagers step back. But at seventeen, she makes a choice no one expected. Not even herself. She walks into classrooms that don't inspire her, laughs with people who don't know her, and stares at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering if this is all she'll ever be. There are toxic friendships that drain her, and boys who don't stay. There's guilt for not loving someone back. And heartbreak from someone who couldn't choose her. There are late-night breakdowns, and moments of insane happiness. And always - always - there's the list. Through it all, Ahana keeps writing. Because the questions still matter. Because she's still trying to become the girl her seventeen-year-old self believed in. 'Before the Answers' is not a story of perfection. It's a story of almosts, quiet strength, and learning to be okay with not having all the answers.
