anorexia coast dave disorder eating fiction franco idk teen washington west

I suck at summaries but: &quot;Trying to start over, especially when you don't want to, can be rather hard. Violet Dempsey would know. All she's known is dance, and a fast paced NYC life.. That is, until she's forced to move across the country to the small town of Pearwyn, Washington. This is where she meets Graham Bryant. He has the perfect life. Captain of the soccer team, the mayor's son, and student body president of Radley Academy. The two form an unlikely friendship, Violet learning Graham doesn't have everything, and Graham being able to see past Violet's façade. This is a story about saving yourself, because a wound can't really heal unless you open it. All it takes is a common interest, a little bit of sarcasm, and a whole lot of balancing.&quot;   © 2013 by heavenlywaytodie. All rights reserved.

My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind.

Her Mysterious Ways by writingoverbreathing

Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right? Not always, especially if you have to keep the fact that you can barely afford food a secret at all costs. And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When his family decides to embark on a weekend vacation to Florida for his birthday, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day road trip will change their lives forever. CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times. I tried my best to include as many triggers I could think of, but if you notice anything else in the story that may potentially be one please feel free to let me know and I will add it as a warning. Thank you :) As for genre, this story contains a little bit of everything. I'd say it's an LGBT Coming-of-Age Romantic Comedy Drama. I know that's a lot, lol. This is my first ever attempt at writing a fully-fledged fictional story, so please go easy on me :) I hope you enjoy! This story has a soundtrack!

Apathetic |[D.S]| 1 by dozydaniel

"Shut the hell, your mouth!" Daniel's hands squeeze my waist as he pushes me against the wall, growing closer to me. The quietness striking me when the only thing I can see in the dark is my horrified reflection in his glowing blue eyes. I can hear my breathing as I place my shaking arms beside me not knowing what to do with them. I can hear my heartbeat going at such a fast rate, I wouldn't even be able to count the beats. My chest rising and falling against Daniel's chest. "Dan- "Don't fucking speak," he growls in my ear, "just don't." ~~~~~~~~~ College is an opportunity for a new fresh start and that's exactly how Lou sees it. For a start making friends isn't so bad with her popular roommate Kayla. When Lou enters a friend group everything seems fine, until an apathetic and rude guy named Daniel won't stop messing around with her. ~~~~~~~~~ #2 in apathetic - 2/12/20 #2 in apathy - 2/12/20 #12 in danielseavey - 2/1/20 #1 in jackavery - 4/1/20 #1 in daniel - 4/5/20 #1 in corbynbesson - 4/25/20 #1 in apathetic - 7/24/20 #1 in apathy - 7/24/20 #1 in whydontwe - 9/8/20 #1 in jonahmarais- 5/16/22 ~~~~~~~~~ started : 12/29/19 ended : 10/29/20
