Just a random prose piece on recovering from a traumatic event-this is more for my peace of mind rather than it being an actual story.
CONTENT WARNING: Do not read if you are a survivor of sexual assault and are prone to flashbacks/can be easily triggered.
If you have a loved one who struggles with substance abuse and can be easily triggered, do not read this.
Do not read if you've survived any other sort of violent trauma, such as a car accident.
These pieces are not just to help me cope with my PTSD, but also to help others who may have gone through similar or worse experiences. If I can get at least one person to relate to me, I'd consider the time I took to write these pieces to be worth it.
If any of you ever need someone to talk to, I'm just a message away.

Carlo : Ti salveró amore mio
Book two of Carlo. I think I've figured out why I always dwell on the pain so much; because unlike the happy moments, which are few in itself, the suffering leaves scars that make it hard to forget the pain. They serve as reminders you're forced to look at every single day. ------- Trigger warnings: - Self Harm - Rape / forceful behaviour - Eating Disorder - Hospitals - Trauma - Abuse (mentally and physically) - Violence ------- Some of the different languages might be rubbish because I got most of them off google. Please don't use my story, and copy it. *edited*Complete
Monsters Inside My Head

I will often rearrange the chapters in the way I see fit, so please be patient and keep that in mind. This is my first attempt at poetry.

Ran Right Into Him
Melanie Davis is traumatized to put it shortly, her dad died, her moms an alcoholic and she was raped my her trashy boyfriend. She has no one. Until one day, she bumps into the one guys whos is can be frequently found in her thoughts for the past year. Melanie has learned to keep her head down and emotions in so the sudden appearance of a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and is trying to pull hers out is a bit, well... a bit much. And she's got some secrets that almost no one knows and the journey to trusting someone is a long one. But I guess we'll see how it goes. TW: Mentions of rape, alcohol, drugs, language, sex/sexual references, and high school partying. I'd put no one under 18 but I'm under 18 so that be a bit hypocritical of me. Hope u enjoy. 👍 But beware that I am still a minor and I'm still in school so I might not have time to update everyday, I'll try to at last once a week. Bit on the weekends I have no life so you can expect more from me then. Anyways if anyone actually reads this, it's my first story that came purely from me and only, others I've written (never posted) have been coped or largely inspired by a story someone else had written so be gentle with me, okay? (P.S. I have really bad spelling and grammar so I read over these thoroughly but if there are any mistakes please tell me so I can go back and fix them I really want you guys to enjoys this book). This is book is based off parts of ,y life and own personal experience, several romance and mental health books, and songs like One Day by Tate McRae and don't miss me by Claire Rosinkranz. Give them a listen. 👌Complete
Perfect On The Outside
She looks at me incredulously, "Love her?" "Panic attacks, stress disorders, and anxiety. What's not love?" I reply. Spencer Evans is broken. Though people don't realize it because she doesn't look it, she's broken. Almost completely. Now she's going to pull herself back together. To keep people believing that she's perfectly fine. Inside and out. --- Fair Warning: this story was originally written for an English class and it just went on from there. Some of the writing may not be the best, because it is unedited and was originally written back in 2015-16 so.. yeah. Also, it may have some swearing.

Good Omens| Ineffable Parents
Writing this to cope with szn 2 and other stuff but mostly szn 2 It's basically child reader [14] being parented by Aziraphale and Crowley It's written with gender neutral pronouns so you can read this if you're a guy, gal, or non binary pal. The main character will also be bilingual, I'm mexican-american so if your Spanish is different than mine that's why. Also I'm not using things like y/n, h/c, e/c in case you like stories having that. Warning this will probably have some explicit language and a main character with serious issues. But I'll put a warning for anything that could be upsetting so you can skip over it and focus on the fluff [Idk if you can see the username in the cover but it's @ sunnyonice I got it on Pinterest]

This is my end of my memoirs for this time of my life this is actually where I'm going to say about my spirituality and how I've overcome PTSD very easily. It is similar to the other autobiographies that I did but it's a lot different in someways because it's more spiritual. That being said it's about my spiritual life and how I deal with life and how some people judge me on it. *noticed on Instagram* **availableon amazon as ebook and paperback, hc** ***please rate kindly on goodreads***Complete
Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

All The Queen's Monsters (The Queen's Slave, Book 3)
Everything was gone. I sobbed, my clothes ripped and I was bleeding, but it didn't matter. I had to get to her, to them. Had to find- Struggling to stand, I grasped my side, biting back the scream that wanted to escape. I looked down at my hands and red coated them, blurring together until I couldn't see anything anymore. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my panicked breathing to slow, until I felt in control of myself again. It had been so long, I thought as I turned my peeling and dry face to the sun, my fingers shaking as I struggled to make sense of them. For so long, I'd been a wolf, cursed. All that I was, or could've been had been reduced to nothing but an animal driven by instinct, bloodlust, thousands of lives met their ends at the edges of my razor sharp claws. I had no idea where I was, how much time had passed. My fingers touched something hard in the sand, and a jolt of information went through me as Queen Azalea's sword, gleamed as I pulled it free. My heart started to pound as sun glinted off of the blade, reflecting back at me. I nearly dropped the metal when I saw myself. I took a second look and saw white hair, caked with dirt, and yellow eyes, blue veins sparking in their depths. All at once, I remembered who I was. I remembered why I was here, how much time had passed. I am Azalea Marie Albescu, The Queen Alpha. A false queen sits on my throne, controls what's mine. I would have to make my way back to my pack, my family, and my home, if still there. I would rise again, as I had before, and reclaim what belongs to me. DISCLAIMER: AS WITH MANY OF MY STORIES, I DO IMPLICATE SITUATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE. Not in any way do I intend to glamorize this behavior, I write about these delicate and painful situations because I myself relate to them and will always fight for survivors, including myself. Thank you for your understanding and if you are in any way uncomfortable reading these stories, I encourage you to look elsewhere.

-A first person story of surviving wlw sexual assault, abusive relationships, gaslighting and childhood anxiety. -the book where every story matters and each voice deserves to be heard. -This book is based on a true story and personal experiences, I've recently written this after struggling with processing my abuse and assault so this book really means the world to me. You guys are the first people to read it so I really hope you enjoy it and if you are in a similar situation I hope this brings you some form of comfort, like a warm hug in the form of words. -There is not nearly enough awareness around women on women sexual assault so I'm here to do my part and add my drop into the ocean. -When this book is published (and turned into an actual book lol) it will have a special section at the back for the reader to personalise if they don't have anyone to talk to or just want to get their feelings written down.
