I know I had issues, yes, but being admitted into a mental hospital definitely opened my eyes to...well, myself. I could no longer play the part of the sane, strong teenage girl that i had previously believed myself to be. At least not in a institution were professionals were trained to see through me, and where my peers had felt the same pains that haunted me. After all, things can get quiet interesting when you're locked up with fellow self conscious, angst filled teenagers who all have an unspoken understanding of each-other. Tears were shed, laughs were shared, and friendships built and lost. This is my story.

Not Sick But Not Well.
This day wasn't an exception. I cried over and over until I could no longer, I wiped my tears and took the packages in my arms after opening the door. In the house, nothing new. They were still talking, so I had time to drop off the packages, and without even opening one, I headed to the showers, cleaned my face with water, and went to my room. This is roughly how my days as a child went. I know that it cannot be described as an ideal childhood, but it would certainly be the most beautiful period of my life. Despite family conflicts, school conflicts, loneliness, and fear, I was happy. I was happy because they were all there, happy because they always remained, despite my faults, and happy. After all, I knew that I had not yet experienced the worst. Happy because I knew, that sooner or later everything would end. So yes, I was as cowardly and useless as they all claimed and even more naive than they would have believed, but this vision that I had at that age kept me going. Although the truth was hard to accept, I was given no choice. So I accepted life as it came; I accepted myself and my truth, my weaknesses, and the fact that I had to get used to the idea that I would always be the first actor to die in films.![Where Light Meets Dark - The King (Sequel) [slow updates]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/196710521-256-k451951.jpg)
Where Light Meets Dark - The King (Sequel) [slow updates]
Freedom. Both mental and physical, it's something Night and Sunray have scarcely known throughout the years of their relationship. Mentally, they were forced to stick to the infamous rule of keeping their identities secret from all--friends and enemies. Physically, the barrier between light and darkness kept them from touching each other under normal circumstances. Both walls were even harder than normal because they were the first of nine pairs of gem holders to fall in love. Until everything changes in a single day. Surrounded by shocks at every angle--the discovery of Tizian's survival, the unexpected defeat of Preciser, meeting an unlikely friend, becoming conscious lovers, identities being revealed at last--Alex and Jakira find themselves facing a new enemy, barely after the defeat of the old one. This new enemy seems more clever, more intimidating, more unpredictable, and more unsettling than Preciser had ever been. Life becomes more difficult than ever before, and both teens can't help but feel that this entire ordeal will leave them both changed forever. TWs: depression, violence, near-death sequences, PTSD episodes, panic/anxiety attacks, SEVERE anxiety, mentions of suicide/suicidal thoughts

I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it."
