Tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere, and the saddest part about that truth is that tragedy is unavoidable. No one can prevent a natural disaster from happening. No one can prevent death from knocking on their doorstep - if it's an accident, or a sickness - it cannot be prevented, and it cannot be avoided. You never know on which day tragedy will come knocking on your front door. You never know who it would strike next - if it would be you, or someone else, or someone who is very close to you. The thing is, with tragedy, it doesn't ask questions before it strikes. It just does. River and Sophia were two people who experienced the same tragedy: loss, but their stories were very different from each other, but they shared the same pain of losing someone they loved, someone who was close to them. And now, suffering the aftermath of their tragedies - living with the guilt, the regret, and the grief of losing someone that was close to them, they have to try to overcome everything, before their tragedy ruins their lives forever. But will it bring them together or would it just be another terrible tragedy? [ word count 130K - 145K ] [ comments does contain spoilers ]Complete

three girls. three desperate souls. and three stories of inevitable fall into darkness • • • • • Btw, this playlist basically reflects the whole atmosphere which was supposed to be in the story and which also helped me get inspiration ^_^ (not an adv): https://youtu.be/lFDqLCMZmcc?si=XTa3nTsHYC3y-i6u • • Since this story has its own main characters' plot, there won't be a straight away going to mansion. The idea is to introduce readers to main characters, and gradually immerse them in what is to happen. Hugged everyone! ! I do not own any of the pictures which are used in my story!

Fault Lines
Grace was the quintessential sheltered girl. Her parents had gone through hell to have her and in a sad twist, instead of letting her enjoy the life they'd finally (finally!!) given her, they'd made her afraid to actually live it. And that helicopter style of parenting had emboldened her parents enough to believe their input in every decision making was not only important, but essential. Her life was mapped and planned to the last minute by her overbearing mother. Her future, in her mother's plans, was already set, regardless of Grace's thoughts on the matter. Her only solace, throughout her life were her best friends Liz and Ben. Liz was a similar story in the sense that her parents were strict, but for different reasons. Her older sister was a walking talking afterschool special, and because of this, her parent's default parenting setting was untrusting. And Ben, even though he came from a more laid back household, with a single mother and a lot of rambunctious brothers, he had been in all her classes and there wasn't much Grace's parents could do to keep them from bonding during school projects. But sadly Ben had passed away in a car accident fall of Junior year. So, essentially, Grace was a boiling pot waiting to be pushed. Jack has always known he liked Grace, his twin brother's best friend, but he never dared to act on it. She was shy, and only ever truly came out of her shell around Ben, Jack's twin. When tragedy strikes and Ben dies, everything changes, and Jack finds himself drawn to Grace in ways he never expected. But just when their connection begins to grow, another tragedy tears them apart, leaving Jack broken and Grace on a journey of personal growth. Years later, fate brings them together again. Can they rebuild what was lost, or is the past too heavy to overcome? A powerful story of love, loss, and the paths that lead us back to each other when we least expect it.Complete
