I know that you'd be happy for me. I found him, Matthew. turns out, he's been here the entire time. I'm sure you would've loved the way he was treating me. I hope you're looking down, happy at what you're seeing.
love, your baby sister Max.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
For My Own Good
-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.
