(Completed) 
Emily is suffering from anorexia; she just won't admit it to herself or anyone else. She doesn't want nor need any help, according to herself. 
Carter sees her struggle. He wants to help her. 
Will Emily finally accept help? And will she accept the help from someone she would have never imagined? And what will happen when she discovers that there's more to Carter too?
...............
This book is about suffering and not admitting it. It's about getting help from a surprising source and realizing the feelings you get in the making. It's about sorrow, love, hatred, and a lot more! The book spans from when they're 17/18 to when they're 37, and you get an insight into their lives for a long period of time. 
I really hope you enjoy my book! Please let me know what you think!

You Can't Save Me.. by _silent_screamer_

"You just can't save me." She would say. "I can try." He whispered as she drifted off to sleep. Her name was Ashton. She suffered from depression since age 8, been cutting since age 10, and starving since age 12. She knew from the beginning she had to hide it from any wandering eyes or curious friends.

I know there isn't anything I can say to fix it but I can listen and be a shoulder to cry on. I love you guys. Stay safe!

The 12 Steps by SRaeeg08

*DISCLAIMER* READ AT YOUR OWN RISK: This book deals with serious topics and themes of drug use, PTSD, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. This book contains realistic depictions of opioid use. Recovered and recovering addicts should proceed with caution. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The 12 Steps is a gripping Young Adult novel that follows twin brothers Lincoln and Liam as they navigate the weight of trauma, addiction, and family fractures. Lincoln, a high school senior, is seven months sober and struggling to reconnect with a life that feels just out of reach. He wants to move forward but fears where the future might lead. Liam, also a senior, buries his pain beneath a reckless façade, desperate to outrun the past that haunts him. While one brother fights for control, the other refuses to acknowledge his own unraveling. When a life-altering incident shakes their already fragile bond, Lincoln and Liam must confront long-buried secrets, painful truths, and the damage that has fractured their family. The 12 Steps is a powerful story of resilience, healing, and the journey toward forgiveness-both of others and of oneself. "...there were a lot of things I was forced to learn and that made me resent my family for it. One of them is the fact that I learned more about family at rehab than I ever did when I was home." - Lincoln "I always had this plan. A plan where I would graduate high school with the highest GPA, get a full-ride baseball scholarship to Stanford University, and then work my way to the major league baseball teams. It was a plan I had made with Lincoln when we were younger. A dream we shared to play baseball together. A dream that died when he overdosed." - Liam

Nick and Charlie One Shots by Skywalker3rd

It's going to help if you've read the Heartstopper books plus This Winter and Nick and Charlie too I'm not going to lie. But if you haven't it's no big deal, just know that there will be spoilers and I'm warning you now of referrals to self-harm and eating disorders. Yes, this will contain sex scenes and lots of them. No, I'm not sorry. Please don't read this if you want to keep the Heartstopper Universe retaining the same innocence as the books and comics, as this won't be for you. For anyone else who loves these characters but wants a more adult take, go right ahead. I know how much the Heartstopper readers love Alice, her characters and her books, I do too. I have tried to be as faithful to these characters and the way/how they sound and think as I can, whilst moving their story into deeper tones. So, with apologies to Alice Oseman, here is my humble adult take on Nick and Charlie (the characters, not the book. Well maybe a scene in that book too at a future date...) PS If you want a particular scene or scenario writing please let me know. I can only promise that I'll try my best.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Finally Free by lulustoriesss

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. 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. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez.

Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat.
