"If there's evil in anyone, if it exists at all, that's what that boy is made of."
Jack, thus far, has glided through life by his own rules and has successfully kept out of consequences' reach, no matter what chaos he has caused and no matter who he has hurt. Until Charlotte, his girlfriend, commits suicide. With guilt just an arm's length away from eating him alive, Jack tries to move on, pretend it never happened, forget her entire existence. But Charlotte has other plans. Jack's life takes a paranormal turn when her spirit sticks to him like his shadow as he tries to navigate his way out of trouble with her grieving father, her accusing best friend, and a nosy neighbour. He just wants to forget about her, just like the mess with his ex before: Amy. He can try to run again but he knows his secrets won't stay buried forever.

Charlie Sutherland lives a simple life, spending his days surfing and studying and his nights with his girlfriend, Victoria. But things take a complicated turn when he meets Addie Morgan, a girl who's dealing with her own personal demons that no one knows about, and an unfortunate accident brings him closer to her world than he would think possible. In her, he finds a world opposite to his-a world of deep emotion, loud characters with big questions, and dark memories of a past she's wrestling to leave behind. Will Charlie ever find his way back home? And better yet, will Addie ever find peace within herself?

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.

Suicidal by kaii12321

This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation
