Never Alone
Life is not easy, nor is it simple. There are always obstacles you need to get over and things preventing you from being happy. Charlotte is a 17 year old girl who understands that. She is struggling to get over the obstacles and doesn't know if she'll make it. ..... Warning: This story contains description of self-harm in almost every chapter. I didn't include a warning at the beginning of every chapter because this whole story is about mental health so anything may cause triggers.

The book will be all ready very soon! (Also I am very that my book description is not very good, I promise the story is much better than described)Complete

He's not suicidal - in fact, as much as he is ready to die, the thought of taking his own life scared him more than the thought of continuing to live. It wasn't until Harold moved to a ruddy apartment and met eleven-year-old, Isobel that he gained a new perspective. A precocious girl, Isobel is always dancing and humming to herself, too bored to live in the real world.

But it's through each other that they learn the beauty of growing up and simply living.Complete
