They should't have to put up with me, maybe the only thing to do is end it all. I deserve this, they don't, why do I do this to them?

Follow Emily through her journey, see things through her point of view, learn the reason behind why she does all these things to both her and her family.

"I know you've been hurt." he said, an ashamed tear making its way down his flawless face, "And I can help you. Let me fix it." he took a step forward, his action recklessly perfect. "Fix what?" I asked, shaking my head as hurt tears made their way down my face. I knew nothing could be fixed, Cameron had already killed me a million times, and I doubted I had many lives left. "Your heart." he said, and I looked in his eyes, which I found to be glossy, and offered a weak smile. He was honestly trying, and I knew this was my chance to stop pitying myself, and start a new chapter of my life. Erase the pain from my mind even though I knew I would never be able to click undo. But as much as I wanted to believe the love and hope in my heart could be saved, I knew it wasn't true. "You can't," I whispered, looking rather down, "You can't fix it." he cupped my face in his hands and grinned. He grinned his famous grin that had been threatening to melt my heart since the day I met him. "Watch me."Complete

When I was Little, I Promised to be Kind | Aubrey Griffin
She grew up in a house built on chaos-screaming behind locked doors, bloodstained towels, broken bottles. Her mother self-harmed in front of her. Her father drifted in and out, never staying long enough to protect her from anything. So, she made herself small. Gentle. Apologetic. She promised herself one thing: never become like them. Be kind. Be quiet. Be safe. Now at UConn, she keeps her head down. She volunteers at the library, wears soft cardigans, and flinches when voices get too loud. She rarely talks, never argues, and says sorry even when she's hurting. Most people think she's just shy. But Aubrey Griffin notices more-the tight way her jaw locks when someone mentions family, the way her hands tremble when she's overwhelmed, the mask of calm that slips when no one's watching. Their friendship is slow, warm, and full of soft moments. Aubrey becomes her safe place, the one who sees her without judgment. But as the bond grows, so does the fear-what if she loses this too? The girl keeps secrets: her mom's in and out of rehab, her dad still calls when he needs money, and sometimes she disappears just to scream where no one can hear. Aubrey knows something's off, but never pushes. Until jealousy creeps in. A teammate flirts with Aubrey, just enough to make the girl feel like she's in the way. Instead of speaking up, she shuts down-answering texts less, avoiding eye contact, pulling away because she doesn't know how to hold on to good things. It's the first time the girl cries in someone's arms and feels safe. Slowly, she lets herself be loved. Aubrey becomes not just her first love, but the first person to ever make her feel like she's allowed to take up space. And one day, when she finally introduces Aubrey to her little sister-the one she used to hide in closets while chaos raged around them-Aubrey brings flowers and holds her hand like a promise: you're not alone anymore.Complete

The Game Beyond The Court | Aubrey Griffin
Aubrey Griffin lives and breathes basketball. As one of the faces of UConn's elite women's team, she's used to pressure, expectations, and the constant pursuit of perfection. But behind the highlight reels and media attention, Aubrey feels the grind of it all wearing her down. Her heart still beats for the game, but the joy that once came so easily now flickers under the weight of relentless competition. Across campus, Alison is making waves of her own. As UConn's star goalie, she's undefeated, unshakable, and laser-focused. Her technique is flawless, her confidence intimidating, and her walls? Unbreakable. Ranked top three in the country, Alison is used to being in control, in and out of the goal cage. She doesn't let people in-not when the stakes are this high, not when she's come this far on her own. And definitely not when feelings are involved. Their paths rarely cross until a university-wide campaign puts them side by side as ambassadors for women in sports. What starts off as a polite collaboration quickly turns into a tug-of-war between two high-achieving, guarded athletes. Aubrey finds herself unexpectedly fascinated by Alison's cool demeanor and discipline. Alison can't ignore Aubrey's fire-the way she pushes forward, even when it hurts. The more time they spend together, the more their walls crack, exposing insecurities, ambition, fear... and something else neither of them is ready to name. In a quiet moment beneath the stadium lights, a late-night conversation turns into something intimate. Hands brush. A look lingers too long. A kiss changes everything. What follows is a slow, magnetic unraveling: Facetime calls from hotel rooms. Studying late at the library but not getting anything done. Secret sideline touches. Shared vulnerability behind closed doors. But neither of them can ignore the looming reality of their careers-and what it means to let someone close in a world that demands perfection.Complete

Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
