Pease note that this is a work of fiction. Nothing in this story happened in real life, I created all events that take place in this other than what happens on June 26th, but even then it's bent to relate to this story and so that it's a tad bit original. Thanks.
This story is not for everyone, due to mentions of self harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, drug use, death, and [badly written] erotic content.
