My parents always told me to be optimistic no matter what. Even if the worst thing that could ever happen to me, did, they wanted me to stay positive. One of their favorite quotes to share with me when we had our daily talk was,"Find the sunshine hiding behind the dark clouds on a rainy day. Because that sunshine, well, that sunshine will save you." Which is why they named me Sunshine. Yep, my name is Sunshine Faith Lightwood. Everything about my name pretty much screams,"happiness, optimism, faith, and hope." 

Though one day, I decided to change my name. I am eighteen after all. And do you wanna know why I would change a beautiful name like Sunshine Faith Lightwood to a depressing name like Storm Ashes Blackthorn? Well, one day the worst thing that could ever happen to me, happened; my parents died because some stupid drunk driver decided to drive right into their car, killing them almost instantly. 

And I've been trying as hard as I can but I think my depression has gone too far for me to ever be able to find the sunshine again.

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
