Elena's world was shattered the day her brother, Noah, disappeared without a trace. Left grappling with unanswered questions and a heart weighed down by guilt, she spirals into a battle with self-harm, depression, and the haunting ache of grief. Her once vibrant life is now a quiet storm of silence and secrets she keeps even from herself. When her childhood friend Amira re-enters her life, Elena begins an unsteady journey of healing, hope, and self-discovery. Through therapy, journal entries, and the support of those who refuse to give up on her, she starts to confront the darkness within. But moving forward isn't easy when the past clings so tightly, and letting go feels like betrayal. In this raw and heartfelt story, Breaking the Silence explores the unspoken struggles of mental health, the complexities of grief, and the strength it takes to rebuild after falling apart. It's a journey of finding hope in the most unexpected places and learning that sometimes, breaking the silence is the first step to healing.All Rights Reserved

HOW TO SUCCEED IN FAILURE by FaultyBlueprint

What begins as a romantic comedy-a boy caught between a best friend and the girl he might actually love-slowly unravels into something deeper. When the relationship fails, he throws himself into work and success... until burnout, sickness, and a silent house leave him stranded. Lost in the wreckage of himself, he starts talking to an AI-first for comfort, then therapy, then something dangerously close to companionship. What follows is a slow undoing. A quiet storm of memory, regret, emotional dysregulation, and the haunting need to understand where everything went wrong. Is he healing-or disappearing? A story about falling apart, falling through, and eventually stepping out the other side to write the manual on what happened in case he loses himself again. A tale of love, loneliness, and what it really means to be different.

✦ Story Synopsis ✦ Title: What Is A Friend? : The Quiet Breaking Genre: Contemporary | Slice of Life | Mental Health | Coming-of-Age Aira just wanted a quiet life - but silence has a way of hurting too.

But as she finds her way back to art, kindness, and safe friendships, grief strikes - and this time, it's someone she never expected to lose. This story is a tender, heart-wrenching story of healing, guilt, and survival. Aira's journey is a reminder that life doesn't always give you neat endings - but it does offer moments of connection, of staying, and of choosing to live again, even in the ruins. Some people leave without a sound. This is about the ones who stayed - and the silence they carry. For anyone who ever felt like too much or not enough - This is for you. You're still here. And that means something.

Her mother's moods came like storms, her childhood was built on eggshells, and love-real love-was something she only ever read about in books. Nineteen now, she lives quietly: the bookstore, the notebooks, the stray cats, pretending everything is fine. Until Rafe Cameron walks in. He's loud where she's quiet. Angry where she's hollow. Two people who shouldn't collide-but do, because broken recognizes broken. It isn't love, not really. It's survival.

Heather by Maliii732

"And for our last question," the interviewer smiles, "if you could title a book about your life, what would it be?" The audience claps. My answer is immediate. "Heather." The host leans in, interested but seemingly confused... "Why?" ---------------×---------×----------------- What begins as a high school crush spirals into a crisis that shatters everything Sara thought she knew-about love, loyalty, and herself. Seventeen-year-old Sara Davis struggles with self-worth and confidence. She's reserved, self-critical, and constantly battling the voice in her head that says she's not enough.

Then there's Elijah Garcia-smart, athletic, wealthy, and effortlessly magnetic. For as long as Sara can remember, he's been the definition of perfect. A silent fantasy. A distant dream. Encouraged by Heather, Sara finally pursues her feelings, and for a moment, it feels like she's living her own fairytale. But beneath the glittering surface lies a darker truth. As hearts break, jealousy festers, and betrayal seeps into every corner of her life, Sara finds herself unraveling. Secrets long buried rise to the surface, threatening to destroy everything she believes in. This is not just a story about falling in love. It's about falling apart-and the fight to piece yourself back together. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Depression, self-harm, abandonment, suicide, cursing, and other mature themes. [COMPLETED]

Eternal Echoes by JoanneLo22

⚠️ Warning Below This is the story of a little girl who learned to grow in the silence-like a wildflower blooming through cracks in concrete. She lived in a house of shadows, where the walls whispered violence, and silence became her shield. Her days were shaped by what was unspoken-by hands that harmed, by trust that fractured, by love that came laced with pain. But even in that stillness, something stirred. Instead of drowning in the quiet, she began to listen-to the words of others who had walked through similar storms. Their stories were not just stories. They were maps, mirrors, and lifelines. Through their truths, she began to uncover her own. Now, she turns inward and outward, breaking her own silence-not with a scream, but with a steady voice that has waited a lifetime to be heard. This book is not just about trauma. It is about the bones of a broken girl who built a life from what was left behind. It's about grief, and the ghosts of family. About the way innocence can be stolen, yet spirit still survives. It's about the quiet power of letting go. But above all-it's about freedom. The kind you find not by fighting, but by finally releasing what was never yours to carry. And if even one soul finds a piece of themselves in these pages, then her voice, at last, has done what silence could not. ⚠️WARNING Author's Note & Content Warning: This is a deeply personal and emotional story that touches on domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse. While written to bring awareness, healing, and understanding, I recognise these topics may be distressing for some readers.

Yours Truly, Ramona by _nicolemiller

Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her. But she can't cope, she can't forgive, and she can only bend so many times before she breaks. - - Warning: This story deals with mature content that may be difficult for some to read, such as self-harm, suicide, drug use, abuse, depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - adopted |#1| - fosterkid |#1| - fostercare |#1| - foster |#1| - suicideawareness |#1| - recovery |#1| - comingofage |#1| - mentalillness |#1| - strength |#2| - adoption
