Depression Stories

Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

"Listen to me carefully," the woman said and grabbed his chin tightly to forcefully make him look into her eyes, "Love and happiness are two things people like you can't have, honey. You're probably wondering why. But it's easy to explain: the only thing everyone cares about is the family you were born into. It doesn't matter what you think or what's inside of you. You'll survive by wearing a mask and not letting anyone find out about your most vulnerable side. It's unfair, isn't it? Well, that's just how life is. That's why you're going to marry Jeon Jungkook and be the quiet, reserved and classy husband everyone expects you to be. You'll look pretty and obey, raise your future children and keep your head high up, do you understand?" Jimin was only eighteen when his father Park Woosung decided to marry him off. "People can be really cruel sometimes, you know. I'm scared of him. I don't want to end up like my mother... I want freedom." Not really having a choice, he agreed. "If you want freedom, do what my sister did. Leave this all behind." Knowing his family's curse followed him everywhere, he desperately tried to escape their disturbing secrets. "He wouldn't let me." Only to find himself trapped in another vicious circle. "You know, you kind of remind me of Ellin. She used to be the most innocent person in this house, yet there was something so incredibly sad about her. Even if she seemed older than her actual age, sick and tired of this world, I would always see a scared and helpless child when I looked at her." #Jikook Inspired by: Secession Studios- Lucifer's Waltz
