Vivienne is a girl who everyone adores. People say she's a ray of sunshine, the rainbow after a storm and the light at the end of the tunnel. She sees everything people try to hide. But they never seem to notice under the surface, the way her fingers tremble when she talks, how her eyes beg not to be seen and to be saved at the same time and the fact that she wears long sleeves everyday. Maybe Vivienne was not the girl you thought she was.

Nobody's girl
Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?
I'll Be Here
She never saw me coming. And that's okay. I saw her-long before she ever looked my way. I had my own story before Alyssa. A quiet life. A few scars I didn't talk about. But the moment I saw her sitting there-shattered, strong, and trying to hold the world together-I knew. She didn't need a hero. She needed someone to stand still long enough to be seen. To be heard. To be loved... exactly as she was. This is our story-my version of it. The moments she didn't see. The words I never spoke aloud. The love I gave in silence, one heartbeat at a time. And when she was ready... I was already there. I'll Be Here is a powerful companion to I'll Be Seeing You, told from the heart of the man who waited, watched, and loved Alyssa through every storm. It's a story of patience, presence, and the kind of love that never needed to be loud to be real.Complete
it was all just a scream for help.
Why wasn't anyone noticing? Was it not obvious he was sad? How come nobody had realised when George only wore long sleeves? What would it take for them to see he needed help? He wanted help. He needed help. How could he get it without asking - because asking was scary and he would do anything besides ask. Even if it tore him apart. Then someone realised. #1 ❣️georgenotfound - 28/10/21 #1 ❣️eatingdisorder - 28/09/21 #1 ❣️ selfharmawareness - 09/10/21 #1 ❣️angst - 15/10/21 #2 ❣️dnf - 29/10/21 #3 ❣️karlnap - 07/10/21 #3 ❣️dreamnotfound - 17/10/21 #7 ❣️sapnap - 30/10/21 #7 ❣️dreamwastaken - 30/10/21 #9 ❣️dreamnotfound - 15/10/21 #10❣️georgenotfound - 25/10/21 #13❣️dream - 28/10/21 -finished 08/10/21- - cover by li-wri (tumblr) or liwri_art (insta) -Complete

Something blossoming
(UNEDITED) Him: And she had me then, tangled in her integrate web, I wanted to find out more about her, everything about her. Thaw the iced glaze over her eyes, melt to cold walls around her with my touch, my attention. Her: I could see the sunshine though the water like an oil painting. Breathtaking. I reached my arm up, as if to touch it, only to meet more water. I frowned. Staying there till my lungs burned, how easy would it be. To just stay here, at the bottom of this creek. Staring at the oil painted sun until my body finally gave up trying to find air. I would just drift away with the water. No one here. No one was around. How peaceful. How fitting to end my violent story with the soft ripples of this creek. -------------------------- Mature themes Both broken. Both with dark pasts. Can they overcome the demons together?
