After losing her father, Dakota's world changes forever. Between a heart condition she never expected and a move to live with her cousins for a fresh start, she's just trying to hold it all together. But when a wrong turn at her new school introduces her to Riley, she starts to realize that even a broken heart can find new ways to heal.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I know nothing about heart conditions. With that being said this heart condition that Dakota is gonna have is one that i have made up. It deals with some real heart conditions but some things do not. For example she will have a monitor that is on her harm that has a shot kinda like the glucose monitor that diabetics use. But somewhat different. She will also have a monitor on her heart that connects to it that monitors her heart rate and rhythm, and she will have to take medications and shots when her heart is going down, or when she has problems. Another thing is that she will be in sports, like volleyball and basketball, she also likes to run which is another thing added to it.
Please don't comment things like "That doesn't actually happen" "That's not what it's called" Again i know, this is a wattpad story so of course not a lot of stuff in this story will be true or it will be but the heart stuff not.

Messy Minds: Smoke-Stained Nights
I wrote this story from the perspective of Dakota, a version of myself navigating the chaos of my teen years. In future books in the Messy Minds series, the perspective will shift to other characters, so while the world is the same, the experiences are not my own.Dakota is a girl from a small, nameless town, trying to live the best she can while fighting her own mind and addictions. Her story runs through nights of graffiti, skinny-dipping, drinking, bonfires, and hangouts that blur together. At her core, she carries the mindset: "I'm gonna die anyways, might as well die doing things that make me feel alive rather than live feeling dead inside." Beneath those moments is a deeper battle-survival, meaning, and holding on to whatever pieces of herself she can. This book is messy, because my mind was messy when I wrote it. A lot came out while I was stoned, and that shaped not only the words but how they scatter, repeat, and circle back. Conversations repeat because life repeats. Viewer discretion is advised. What's here is depression, addiction, bipolar swings, rage, numbness, and confusion. It's the inside of a brain that didn't feel like it worked right-chaotic, sad, unpredictable, and yet searching for something solid. I say chaos a lot because it's the only word that ever fit. This is not polished. It's the voice of a bipolar, depressed teenager trying to survive, trying to explain feelings that never sat still. It also touches survival in unexpected ways-like teen pregnancy, and the fight of girls carrying an unplanned miracle while battling addiction. Ryker, the ex, is part of this story, but I don't know where he is now. I've changed, and I believe he can too. My family eventually healed. We forgave, grew, and found happiness again. This book shows the dark, but not all is dark. Chaos and mental illness can be spoken, even if not fully understood.Concluída
