They say love doesn't kill, but what about the wounds we inflict on ourselves in its name? Don't they have the power to destroy us?
Rain is a popular but lonely girl, with a recurring grief in her chest for the death of her father and the absence of her mother. With an empty home, full of silence, and a heart with an exposed wound on the verge of infection. She finds refuge in the company of her friends, popularity, and especially in the boy she met the day she threw him into the water. Later, he pulls her out of loneliness only to leave her in an even more desolate place.
The constant fear of abandonment, rejection, failure, and loneliness turns Rain into the perfect target for the repressed anger of someone close. Rumors, lies, harassment, betrayals... Do real friendships exist?
Love, pain, hate, passion, anger, disappointment, addictions, and a decadent state of mind lead the protagonist to discover the darkness within her. A palette of different blues that converge into one: melancholic blue.
A story that takes us on a painful journey, where we will discover the other side of love, the confrontation of the protagonist's greatest fears, and the true meaning of friendship.
The cruel world has delt multiple misfortunes for the two friends, Daisy and James. Neither of them know each other, neither of them have friends. Well, James has friends. But none he considers true friends, no one to really lean on. When they meet each other, they realise that what they have already delt with in the past just scratches the surface of what the world has to offer to them. This is a story about family, friends, and how the four main characters struggle against the battle of mental health.
Trigger warning: Since the story discusses mental health, there are brief mentions of self harm and suicidal thoughts. If these topics trigger you in any way, or if you are not in a safe space, please refrain from reading. I have also included trigger warnings for the chapters that are especially triggering.
