Holding Me Back
16 year old Christine looks perfectly fine on the outside, but it's everything on the inside that's holding her back and slowly tearing her apart. Using her fake smile to push through all the pain, no one really knows what's going on with her. Her best friend Riley, a peppy optimistic cheerleader, is the only one who knows that she is battling anorexia and is sometimes depressed, and although her family knows all the struggles she's going through, it's hard to tell how she's actually ever feeling. Struggling with the occasional OCD attacks, Christine's barriers have fallen apart, and is never in the mood to talk about how she's feeling. Some things change though when she meets the new kid, Kyle, who might be hiding some secrets of his own as well.Complete

Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister)
Taylor's little sister, Elizabeth, is struggling with an eating disorder. Lizzie is 15 years old and Taylor is desperate to help her. Trigger warning: this story will contain topics related to eating disorders, depression, self harm, anxiety and mental health. However, I will try to avoid mentioning numbers related to weight or calories. This is actually based on my story, but of course there's fiction too. It's my first time writing for other people to read, so any comment/advice is more than welcomed.
Her Silent Cries

When I was seventeen, my best friend went through something that has left me traumatized to this day. If only we’d been more informed, maybe we could have done something. We could have tried to help. But I seemed to have been the only person listening to her silent cries for help. And there wasn’t anything I could do. Cover made by my friend Tee (AKA A_Blonde_Unicorn)Complete

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

Aria's Story
Background: I have an older brother named Chris, and a younger sister named Reagan. My parents picked our names last minute because they didn't really care about what they were going to name us. My family lives in a huge house in Texas. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a lawyer so our family is pretty much rich. My parents rarely pay attention to any of us because they never wanted us. They give us money every month so that we won't have to bother them when we need money for something. I could probably be happy about that if my life was actually good and not a living hell. My brother is 23 years old so he doesn't live with us anymore. He's really smart and he's been at Yale since he was 19. He's majoring in music. My little sister is 15 years old and she's super friendly. She's also really smart, but she doesn't act like it because she doesn't want to be judged. She's one of the most popular girls at our school and she loves to be center of attention. That's how it all starts.Complete
