Rachel had survived the worst kind of heartache and had moved on with her life by following a dream that she had always had, to be a medical relief worker.

When she arrived at her new nursing post, her past was there, waiting. Dr. Jack Cooper had believed he was doing the right thing when he left Rachel, but he needed to see her once more to prove it to himself. He needed to see her happy and content before he moved on with his life. Neither one of them realized that the other was less than honest about their true feelings. Now, they are forced to work side by side with other relief workers, hiding their love from each other and those around them. Can they mend their broken hearts once their shocking secret comes to light and their true feelings are exposed?

Until The Sun Dies by paintedinhope

"S-stay with me." Zoe whispers. "Keep me safe." "Until the sun dies, love." + Zoe Walker is a young Schizophrenic girl who's parents left her at the psych ward one day. She's sad and lonely and doesn't really talk to anyone. She's crying on the inside, and she wonders why she had to be the one to suffer for something she doesn't have control of. Brayson Jones is a suicidal boy who was abandoned by his mother. He led himself to believe he is nothing but a worthless twenty-two year old. Much like Zoe, he doesn't talk often and he barely gets any sleep with the night terrors he gets quite frequently. The two have much in common, like their stubbornness and their tendancy to hate people who treat them unfairly. So when Zoe and Brayson cross paths, an instant connection is made in between the dull gray concrete walls of the psych ward. Follow the pair as they embark on a journey of a lifetime; involving sensitive situations, tears, heart-felt talks and maybe even, love.

HUMRAAH ~ by thatgirlzee111

Form of therapy ~ Nothing feels heavier then the unsaid words ~ Every story has two sides the "REALITY " and the "FICTION" the only similarity between them is the number of letters they consist ~ For that one friend who is as wise as her name but too silly sometimes <3

The 20 Percent by BrokenHeBrokeMe

Set in a trailer park in a small town in the USA, there lives me. My mom, my sister, and my brother. Then, there is my father. What I am about to tell you will be hard. You will read this, and you may lose faith in hope. I hope my story is one that will be able to gain hope. I want people to read my story and know there are thousands of us out there. I hope that with my story I can change the outcome of some other people's lives. This story is unsettling, there will be mature content in here. It is not for the faint of heart.
