Last Hope (Kellin Quinn) {Book 3} by epiconfire

Sequel to These Things That We've Done Though Summer Parker has been through a lot, but she never thought she would be one of "those" people. Everything had begun to fall apart. The person she thought loved her no longer wanted her. The career she thought was perfect for was no longer doable. Melody started to see Brian, Kellin stopped seeing Alissa, and Summer began to see the hospital. Worst of all was finding out who's there for her and who never was... by being stuck in a hospital bed. Summer Parker never thought she'd want to die this much... --QUICK NOTE! Kellin Quinn is not with Katelynne in this story. Instead he is with some fictional character I made up in my head (cool right?). Also, I do not own any band members nor famous people mentioned in this story, even though I would like to. Thank you for understanding.-- Warning: Sexual content, vulgar language, self harm, medical issues, death, and violence will be in this story. I will warn you when and if characters in the story are getting it on, when and if characters in the story are dying (or in pain either caused by others or themselves), and when and if something goes down that I don't think all of you want to read. But, I will only warn you all if it is truly needed. :) Cover by: simplystiles-

Ignorance by sourcandyauthor

Life comes at us with different tests, different tricks and different obstacles and the more you go through them the harder they get, just like a game, the higher the level the more difficult the game gets. That's something some of us have to find out the hard way, we remain clueless about how hard life can get until it hits us with full force leaving us completely and utterly confused on how we're gonna get through it but if we persist, then we find out that no condition is permanent. And that's also something Relic had to find out in a very harsh way, imagine people you love and trust most turning away as you are blamed for something you never did or losing a loved one after just being reunited with them, and then imagine going through mental trauma and no one even notices, all this is a short example of how cruel life suddenly gets but if your persistent enough, it'll eventually pass. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello there, this is probably the first book in the world that I intend on actually completing and I'm just going to warn you guys in advance, if maybe I suddenly get bored of writing this book and stop writinig it I am terribly sorry but it doesn't mean I won't try and complete it, I just don't want you guys to experience the heart break I feel when I'm so engrossed in a book but then find out that the writer isn't going to continue from where they left off so I'm warning you guys in advance, read at your own risk cause I'm not sure if I'll complete it. Lot's of love 😘 Enjoy ☺️
