Everest, untitled.
Smile. Pretend to belong. And never, EVER raise suspicion. Your family depends on it. Everest Nathan "Nate" Decker is barely hanging on, desperate to hold on to the few fires in his life he can control. Being the teacher's pet, designated driver for secret therapy appointments for his non-binary sibling, and cooking dinner? Not a problem.

Javi has been the sole anchor in Nate's overwhelming blur of responsibility, social charades, and drinking his nightmares away and keep convincing those around him that he got it under control - mostly Nate himself. But when a person from his past appears and threatens to take away the ones he holds closest to his heart, he has to stand up and fight like never before. He has to pick up the pieces he scrambled together over years of neglect, and face the patchwork of trauma, hurt and relationships that build him. He knew he was broken. But now he is deciding for the first time to live for himself.

The Good Nightmare
The once familiar world turned into a dark tunnel of mystery the day Kate heard the words "Kill her!" she shouted. "Yes...!!!" Yes...!!! Yes...!!!!!!!!! Well played!' Kate's eyes widened, and her skin turned pale; fright was written all over her face. She ran out, slamming the door. Uncovering the truth to her eight years of suffering, Kate has gone insane. Reminded of her trauma, she ran fast; her pace increased, and she ran and ran... to the near park until she was out of breath. Luckily the park is abandoned, so there wasn't anyone else besides Kate. "The cause of the traumatic experience is one's selfish desire... no... obsession!!" Kate sat at a corner on a bench, catching up her breath and trembling. She was sweating all over. She wouldn't stop shivering. The truth of that incident: her family tried to kill her? Why?!! Back then, eight years ago, that incident changed her life; the truth is harsher and fiercer.
'è - An Autobiography to Let Go
It's grief, remnants of an innocent life that now exists as a colorful memory. Two separate families, & one child in the middle of it all. Pain & prejudice, what it takes to build true body armor. Mind games & psychology; with great power comes great deceptions. Is it a love story? A trip down memory lane? Or are we pulling a Taylor Swift & putting all of our exes on blast? Okay, so the hero is the villain & then back to a hero? Were they even a hero to begin with, or just an insatiable dreamer? Grow & break, & grow again. Only I can mend all of the choices he has made, it's my responsibility now. I killed him, & my life takes over where he left off. Lol, so fucking dramatic. This book is probably the most Gen Z thing you'll ever read. But it's all true, the walls are being torn down, & no longer am I going to hide. The most vulnerable I'll ever be. To my family, friends, old & new, & all other loved ones & people mentioned, forgive me. I'm finally letting go.Concluida
