abusive-relationship mentalhealth overcoming

Ray had always been the quiet one-the girl who followed the rules, stayed in her lane, and never made waves. She believed in keeping the peace, in trusting the people she loved. But one moment changed everything.  

The betrayal came from someone she never expected, someone who was supposed to protect her, not hurt her. She kept it a secret, burying the pain beneath silence, convincing herself she could move on without anyone ever knowing.  

But secrets don't stay buried forever.  

When the day comes that she has no choice but to face the truth, Ray is forced to confront not only the person who hurt her but also the version of herself she lost along the way. As she struggles to reclaim her voice, she wonders: *If only she had spoken up sooner. If only she had seen the signs. If only things had been different.*  

A powerful and emotional story about resilience, healing, and the weight of unspoken pain, If Only is a raw look at the moment when silence can no longer protect you-and the strength it takes to finally speak the truth.All Rights Reserved

Karma Calls Me Wife by SadiyaAmoodi

(He thought he could cheat, lie, and escape. But karma doesn't forget. And this time, karma sleeps in his bed.) Ariana was supposed to be just another girl from a poor family- his mother's choice, his unwanted wife, and a woman he could ignore. That's what Leon thought. He had a girlfriend. A perfect life. A freedom he wasn't willing to give up. Until she played the game better than anyone. While he was busy trying to push her away, she was already ten steps ahead-rewriting her own story, twisting the rules, and turning his world upside down. But when he finally realizes that she's the only one who ever truly mattered... will she still want him? Because Ariana doesn't just take what she's given. She sees. She wants. She acts. She creates. And then-she steals. And this time, she might just steal his heart....

Beauty & Her Bruises by anonymousamyleeme

When you feel like your world comes crashing down, you just want to die. When you fall, you don't want to get up. When you're hit, you let it back. When you bleed, you watch it trickle down your body. When you're broken into millions of pieces, you let the pieces lay there. When you're dying inside, you don't make a noise. Zara is the girl in the back of the classroom who's afraid to voice her opinion against everyone else. She's afraid to look anyone in the eyes. She's even afraid to trudge down the halls of the school but she does it because she has two things keeping her there. 1) Liam. Her best friend. He's the reason that she's not dead, literally. She's never attempted to suicide but her classmates have attempted to kill her. He's the big, muscular teddy bear that every girl wants on their shoulders. The only reason he hangs with Zara? He has a secret that, if found out, he would be in Zara's position. 2) Father. Even though she has bruises from being beat, broken toes from heels, and mental scars from the names, it's much less worse than what father does to her. Of course, no one knows he does it. If Liam found out, he would be her knight in shining armor. Unfortunately when they have a falling out, Liam isn't there to save her when she needs him the most.

The Lies We Share ✔ by ckwritten236

"She a coward sitting alone in her room, faceless and nameless among the many others like her. She was the shadow of a "real" girl. Laura felt the tears come, and it felt like forever since they've last truly fallen." We can't control the world but we can control how we react to it. Wise words, but nobody, especially not Laura Cliff, actually cares to follow that mantra. You could call it a character flaw but in her mind, it is unrelenting confidence in her ability to read people. Even if reading people is like talking through a tin can connected by a string that spans 1,000 miles. Relationships, she will learn, are kind of like that. If a drunk aunt and a sober world can't help her see through the lies, who exactly can? In The Lies We Share by Courtney Knight, one girl finds power and love in her daily life. Copyright 2020

Silently Falling (UNEDITED, ORIGINAL) by Liz_Plum

This is the UNEDITED, ORIGINAL version of Silently Falling. If you wish to find the edited version, please go to my profile and you will find it there :) The original was edited starting August 2020. - - - "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: Ensurel
