Mentalhealth Stories

Eliza Moore is twenty, unemployed, and back in a house she never planned to live in - a house full of rules, silence, and things that aren't meant to be talked about. Her mum calls it temporary. Eliza knows better. There are reasons she isn't safe living alone. Reasons only her mum knows. Reasons she's determined no one else ever will. Especially him. Ethan Carter keeps to himself. He disappears for hours in his car, avoids conflict, and already knows he's a disappointment to his dad. Eliza's sudden arrival feels like another complication he didn't ask for - so he keeps his distance, even as he starts noticing the quiet things she does to cope. The way she sits down too fast. The way she leaves rooms without explanation. The way she pretends she's fine. As feelings grow in the spaces they're not supposed to exist, Eliza is forced to choose between staying safe in silence... or being honest with the one person she doesn't want to lie to. Because some secrets protect you. And some keep you trapped. And loving someone means deciding which ones you're willing to break.

But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined.

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.
