Struggling with Reality is a short story I am writing for my English class.
Struggling with Reality is about a 16 year old girl, Amaryllis, who struggles with her social life, well her life in general, after her father died. Her mother was a famous Author who wrote several well known books. But because of the death of Amaryllis's father her mother falls into a depressed state, practically leaving Amaryllis to fend for herself. Amaryllis is an outcast at school, who people pity or laugh at. She has a strong imagination and has vivid dreams. She struggles with finding the reality in her dreams, and the messages they are trying to deliver.
Camilla Harrison's life was nothing special. She was raised mostly by her older brother, and she trusted him wholeheartedly - until the shooting.
When her brother killed her father, her entire life was torn at the seams. For everyone knows that the people you rely the most on can cause you the most pain.
Depression had overcome Camilla's life, and she was on the fast track to wasting away to nothing.
All hope is lost, until she meets the new guy. Will Jaxon Boyd be able to pull Camilla out of the deep abyss she had dug for herself? Or will she continue on the road to nowhere, slowly dying with every day that passes by?
