Today, someone asked me what I wanted to be as an adult, and do you want to guess what I said? A doctor? A nurse? No, my answer was simply 'happy', I want to be happy as an adult. Why the fuss? Well I was at parent-teacher interviews with my mum and, obviously, my teacher, when I so wisely stated this and they shared a 'look'. This 'look' was clear as day, following along the lines of 'I think she's depressed and needs help'.
After this fiasco, I landed myself weekly therapy sessions and some antidepressant tablets. My mum now looks at me with pitying eyes and constantly asks 'how I'm feeling' and tells me to tell her 'if I need to talk about anything'. It's driving me nuts because I am not depressed.
~
Ellie is depressed, she just doesn't know it yet. And as her life spirals lower and lower until she can see nothing but black and ugly sadness, someone will shine a light in her darkness and save her. A boy armed with a paintbrush will teach her to smile, being the candle in her dark room that will light the way out. But Ellie must find who she really is, and for that, she is all alone.

Someone walks into the room but I cannot see its face. It looks like a man and by the look of his posture, he seems very important. "Why were you in my territory?" His voice is strangely calm however I think its the calm before the storm. "I didn't know it was your territory! For gods sake how many times do I have to tell you people? Just let me go and I promise I won't say anything to anyone. Not like I have anyone to tell." The last part I said in a whisper. He didn't need to know the situation I was in. I hear the cock of a gun making me raise my head. The all too familiar sound ringing in my ears. "I don't believe you bitch, so you better tell me the truth or your brains are gonna end up on the wall." Ah there's the storm. "A gun doesn't scare me arsehole, I've had way worse things than that!" He steps forward into the light so I can see his features. He is extremely good looking but right now is not the right time to admire his beauty. I stare straight into his pitch black eyes, daring him to try harder than this. He smirks and leans forward searching my eyes. Before I can even register what's happening, he punches me in the face. *** Mature ContentComplete

(This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story....

Don't Leave Me
"I am... frustrated." I began. Okay now he was really amused. The fucking bastard; he was grinning like the bitch he was. I rolled my eyes. "I'm sure you could find someone to help you out with your... frustration." He tried to sound as serious as he could but he didn't manage that very well. "I don't want to sleep with a random guy. I want to..." I took a deep breath, blushing like a 7 year old. "I want to do it myself." "Okay. But...?" He was confused. Yeah time to explain that I've had sex with a lot of guys but I don't know how to make myself come. Great; that's going to be fun. "I've never..." "You're a virgin?" He asked shocked and I chocked on my saliva. "No, you fucking idiot. I've never masturbated." "Oh." Now he was the one blushing and avoiding my gaze. I love karma. "I've heard a lot of girls talking about how good you are in bed. So... any advice?" ••••• If you've been at your lowest you can only go up, right? Nahhh... You can go so much lower I can't even begin to describe it.

But hey, bad choices make great stories, or so they say. ⚠️Trigger warning This book contains graphic scenes that depict violence, sexual abuse and drug addiction.

His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.
