anxiety bestfriend biracial bisexual completed depression fiction friends-to-lovers graduation highschool interracial lgbt love romance senior-year teen teenagers young-love

~Laina~
      She is a teenage girl trying to find her place in the world, just like everyone else. It is senior year and to be honest she never thought she would even make it to this point. Her long-time best friend seems to be leaving her behind and she has no idea how to deal with disintegration of the relationship she has used to define herself for the past ten years of her life. She is scared, she is anxious, she is depressed, and she is desperately trying to navigate a universally hard time.  
      
      ~Brendon~
      He is just living life the way he wants to. For years, he has known Alaina and they've never been much outside of acquaintances. Until one day, he takes a chance and it seems like everything clicks right into place. They mesh so incredibly well with each other, so it only seems natural when they become close friends. And then, somewhere between the little windows into herself she lets him peak through and the reassurances, he fell in love. He is a safe place for her to understand and be herself, and all he wants is her happiness.
      
      They both know that when they graduate they'll be thrust into "the real world." They both know that high school isn't forever. They both know that they'll live drastically different lives. They most definitely know better than to let this go too far. Or at least they should.All Rights Reserved

Until We See Light by MCcollab

My father once said to me, "This universe we live in is tricky. It never gives us exactly what we want but always shows us who we need." Granted, he was coming out of anesthesia after leg surgery and was pretty loopy and doesn't remember saying this at all. I live every day hoping that it's true but I'm always at war in my own head thinking that it probably isn't. Main Characters- Luukas is 17 and he's doing pretty well considering he recently survived a second suicide attempt. Out of the hospital and on his way home but he's already worrying that there will be a third time. His favorite book is They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. Even though he has a permanently gloomy outlook on life he wants to find love. Current songs on repeat are Young Love by Eli Lieb, Sad Song by We The Kings, and Ashes by Celine Dion. Emitherios (aka Bailey) is 19 and wants nothing to do with his biological family or his adoptive family. He's on his own now but starting when he was 14 hey had kept him at a military academy, then a wilderness program, then a boys ranch for over four years. He's been on his own for over a year and he's looking for someone he can trust. He looks like he's got it all figured out, but he definitely does not. Theme- Luukas and Emitherios (Em for short) are teenage boys that find each other and then work to come together. Mental illness (Luukas) and a history of abuse and neglect (Em) do not make trusting or staying together easy for them. True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together. - Ricardo Montalban. - NOTE -- Copyrighted work here, all rights reserved.

Take Me With You, I Wanna Feel Better by thinkwaymore

Ronica's pov: Her black long hair, her dark brown eyes, her smooth soft flawless skin, her skin colour like vanilla ice-cream, her fingers smelt like raspberry when she put my hair aside my face, her eyelashes were pretty long and dark, her nose in the perfect shape, her lips the most glossy and pink thing on earth. Her chubby cheeks. Oh God she's perfect. Allisia's pov: her brownish chocolaty skin that melts me for her, her black eyes are like a forest with hidden souls, her hair were purest black, silky long, like waves in an ocean, her eyebrows were perfectly designed, her acne made her more gorgeous, she was perfect like her. *Sadness And Love All Around*
