Danae doesn't scream. She bleeds in silence. At sixteen, she hides behind long sleeves and lowered eyes. After her father's suicide, her mother simply moves on - as if nothing happened. Now Danae is forced to start over, living with her grandmother in a quiet town full of strangers. In Grandma Eleni, she finds a trace of the father she lost - someone who truly sees her. And then comes Aris. The boy with the label. The "bad one." But Danae knows what it means to carry something invisible. A story about grief, self-harm, emotional survival, and love that grows quietly, where no one is looking.

Suicidal

This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation
