Problems... we all have them. Some more than others. For instance, Nate: he's just that desperate for a friend, Skye: she wishes it was like before, Rhys: they expect so much from him, Samantha: she just wants to be beautiful.
This is a story about life's different problems. I suggest that if you don't do good with depression and suicide that you DO NOT READ THIS. This in no way represents my life or anyone i know but this kind of stuff happens to many people. The story line is partly inspired by Ben Boyd from Disconnect and Dollhouse, a song by Melanie Martinez but other than that the story line belongs to me so no copying!

Melane
Sometimes, life isn't all sunshine and roses. Jack and Melane are friends. Not close friends, but friends all the same. They met in college through one of his professors, but never hung out much outside of school. When they graduated, she made sure he had her number and she had his. Every other day, she'd text him and they'd talk for a bit until she had to go to work. Out of habit, he'd start texting her whenever he thought of it. There were no romantic intentions behind these messages, as he had a girlfriend already, but she lived in another country, and long distance relationships are hard. Even so, it came as a surprise to them both when Jack's girlfriend broke it off. Mel tries to be there for him, but as he starts getting more and more depressed, she develops feelings for him. Desperate to hide it, she tries to distance herself as much as she can, all the while still helping him. But it becomes clear to her that she can't hide forever, and watching the light fade from his eyes is too much for her bear... She doesn't want to admit she's falling for him- but in the end, it's exactly what Jack needs to hear.Complete
The Wild Escape
Katrina Mars has always had a special connection with her older sister, Keeley, who graduated the year Katrina was in eighth grade. That connection was the same kind of love for pop punk/alternative rock music and their desire to be happy helping one another and others. The two had always been best friends as sisters, and they had always been there for each other. Keeley was even the only friend Katrina ever had, even after she went off to college. Ever since Keeley left for college (which is eight hours away from Katrina's home), Katrina has felt lost, confused, lonely, and sad, not knowing what to do at all with no one to turn to. About five months after Keeley left, at a doctor's visit, Katrina discovers that she has been diagnosed with depression. Although this disappoints her, it is not surprising... For the next couple of years, her parents have become worse and worse towards her, mentally abusing her because of the music she likes, the way she dresses, and her normal personality. This worsens her depression, and being ignored and lonely doesn't help. This is all until she meets Sam Browman, a kid in school who is a lot like her: dresses "emo," listens to "emo" bands, sings and plays a lot of instruments, and goes through troubles at home. Who knows what may happen to these kids who connect through both having troubles at home? This story is set in the year 2011, when My Chemical Romance was together (before the breakup and reunion). WARNING: This story contains mentions and depictions of self-harm, abuse, violence, and bullying. If you are sensitive to these topics, I would not recommend this story to you.Complete

Not the Only One
"I'm not perfect. If you know my life story it would change your mind," I admit, looking down. Yes, I hate my past and yes, I'm most definitely not perfect. I untangle myself from Dante and get off the bed, turning to look at them all. "I need to go back to my hotel room to change." The response is instantaneous. All men frown and begin to protest. "You're staying here, sweetheart-" "Don't do this, love-" "Babygirl, stay with us-" I'm sure they don't all love me that much. It's probably a short-term love, temporary. I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious. "Wear ours!" they all exclaim at once. * * * * * * * Lexi has moved countries to escape her past and start a new life.
