 A Short Story Blanche, has no issues facing her adversaries in life. The real struggle is when she is at her happiest.  She cannot keep it up, she doesn't want to stay long in that mysterious spiral of an emotion.  She believes that it is far too strange and besides she doesn't deserve it.  For her, happiness is the equivalent of the four-letter word.  She doesn't stay long in a party.  For her, friendship is just another label that you stick in a bottle in a pharmaceutical store. The last real friend she had is gone.  Just gone. It's impossible not to be mesmerize by the wonderful things she once had. To go back, to take a peek. It's impossible not to be driven back, not to be succumbed by the darkest and complicated moment of her life. Dark and Lovely and Strange. It's an addiction to go back and forth. It's a journey. An unfortunate one.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
