There's two sides to every story.
***
Erin is like any other teen and her life is perfect; she's dating the hottest guy, she has an awesome best friend and family, she understands algebra and she's finally getting noticed in her photography work.
Yet she seems to never be able to pull her head from the books always in her hands, is there a reason why though that the books are ten times more captivating than her own life? Is she trying to tell herself something or is she just a book nerd with a bad case of daydreaming?
Erin continues to ignore the glitches around her, especially with her annoying boyfriend Jed and how every time she sees her brothers best friend Eli she feels how she is meant to feel, how the books say it is.
This leaves her questioning one thing; is Erin in the wrong story?
***
Mel is Erin's best friend and although her life is in ruins she has no care factor in the slightest, or so it seems.
Mel has trust issues, after being abandoned by her father and left with a mother that solely focuses on her addiction to her job Mel is left to look after herself at home or to basically always claim stake of the spare bedroom at Erin's. She's fine with that and she's even coping with the rumours her ex boyfriend is spreading about her and their past sex life.
Mel's facade has always been the girl that takes no shit and if you do one thing wrong to her girl and only friend Erin than you're in for it. She's the school's bad girl and now with the rumours a cheap night.
Mel's used to keeping a bored expression and hiding her fears of things, such as trust and love. But when Erin can't be there for her whilst she deals with her own problems her childhood crush pops back up like a knight in shining armour.
Her trust issues and hate towards the poisonous word 'love' isn't her problem, the problem is that this childhood crush? He is Erin's twin brother.

Things just got a whole lot more complicated.

broken souls
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS: this book was not made to glorify self harm and suicide. i wrote this book my sophomore year of high school and based it off of what was happening in my life at the time. self harm is not "quirky" or "fun" and it is a serious issue and can lead to death. the glorification of it on this app and others such as tiktok and tumblr make it so that people who are actually struggling are seen as "attention seekers." non suicidal self injury (NSSI) is a real problem. this book was written from own experiences and not from a person who has no idea what the hell they're talking about. if you are having suicidal thoughts or struggling with self harm, please don't hesitate to reach out to the suicide prevention hotline. even if you don't feel like you can talk on the phone, please text them. they are there to help and i don't want anyone else to go on the same path i was on. --- i'm fin e is the biggest lie i tell myself i'm fine is the biggest lie i tell everyone else because i'm not fine and nobody can see it ---- She woke up wishing she didn't. She's given up because surely others have, too. She was the mistake they took in. ---- Ahsoka Tano has only known one things since becoming Anakin Skywalker's Padawan: failure. Her master claims he would never trade her for anything, but she can only think of his pity and her own self-let down. Now struggling with her own mental struggles, Ahsoka wonders if anybody is still here for her; if anybody has noticed she's started to drown slowly and painfully from her own self-hatred. And Anakin has no idea she's pretending to be okay. ---- tbh this book is the epitome of shit but i hope u like it this one is 10000% better than any of my other works so read this one instead TRIGGER WARNING: DARK THEMES INCLUDED this book contains strong language, self harm, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts and actions. if any of those make you uncomfortable, read at your own discretion.Complete

And she's got some secrets that almost no one knows and the journey to trusting someone is a long one. But I guess we'll see how it goes. TW: Mentions of rape, alcohol, drugs, language, sex/sexual references, and high school partying. I'd put no one under 18 but I'm under 18 so that be a bit hypocritical of me. Hope u enjoy. 👍 But beware that I am still a minor and I'm still in school so I might not have time to update everyday, I'll try to at last once a week. Bit on the weekends I have no life so you can expect more from me then. Anyways if anyone actually reads this, it's my first story that came purely from me and only, others I've written (never posted) have been coped or largely inspired by a story someone else had written so be gentle with me, okay? (P.S. I have really bad spelling and grammar so I read over these thoroughly but if there are any mistakes please tell me so I can go back and fix them I really want you guys to enjoys this book). This is book is based off parts of ,y life and own personal experience, several romance and mental health books, and songs like One Day by Tate McRae and don't miss me by Claire Rosinkranz. Give them a listen. 👌Complete
Suicidal Attraction {Old Version}
"When people who have trust issues fall in love it's scary. The people they fall for fill up that hole in their life that was left by someone who caused them to have trust issues. The person starts to fill whole and happy; like this person is the one. But when that one person leaves,the one who made them invincible,they're crushed. The persons life gets worse and they fall deeper and deeper into that hole. The hole of what used to be." Kira Green is one that never wanted to fall in love. She planned on being alone and pushed everyone who loved her away. She gets bullied relentlessly even though she tries her hardest not to be seen. But in our society,the more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed. When Logan Williams came bursting into her life like he did, she didn't know what to think of this charming boy. He was different than the rest of the world. For the first time, a person wanted to know about the scars on Kira's heart than the ones on her wrists. She doesn't trust him at all. She wants absolutely nothing to do with Logan,but somehow he finds a way to meddle his way into her life. And when he figures out more about Kira,he's more than shocked. He doesn't see a girl who hates the entire world ,but hates herself even more. He doesn't see a fat, ugly, whore when gazing into her eyes. He sees a girl who's been wronged by the world left and right. He sees a girl who cares music more than she cares about her own life. He sees a person who needs love. But not everyone who you try to save ends up being saved in the end. Sometimes it's just too late. As Kira always says ,"Happily ever after was so once upon a time." This book does not promote self harm or suicide. And it also doesn't romanticize it. It simply is a story about two broken people on a quest to fix one another and mange to somehow fall in love with each other along the way. FYI THIS IS NOT A FAN FICTION! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STORY CREATED BY ME!!!Complete

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
