The Undoing of Ryder Burke by @clarifications is by far one of the best books I have read in a long time. It has really opened my eyes to the mistreatment of rape victims, rape culture, and overall life. I definitely recommend reading this book.

This might be a new story after I finish Upside Down. 
          
          Intro: 
              I can't sleep. I can't do anything right now. It has hit me. Hard. Everything I've worked so hard to keep hidden and locked up has come up again. 
              The memories are resurfacing. The ones I blocked away as a child. They have returned in the form of dreams. Nightmares of bloody fists, bruised bodies, broken glass on the freshly-polished, hard-wood floor. Beaten families and  scared children. Scared, helpless children who can do nothing but lay in their warm beds, in their batman-themed sheets and being rocked to sleep by sobbing siblings. 
              The terrors have resurfaced and there is nothing I can do about it. The main reason isn't as much if a reason as a person. And he's standing across the table from me. Wearing a warm coat and looking me in the eye. 
              That's when the large cup of hot, chamomile tea in my hands is launched into his scarred face and shatters. 
               If only, he hadn't come back. If only, he didn't exist. If only, I hadn't faced the nightmares I had faced as a child.

I've never liked the uncomfortable wait that is necessary when at hospitals. I've never liked the strong smell of bleach that they always have. I hate how people will smile at you in the Emergency Room as if they know everything about you and it's been a great day. 
          
          It hasn't been a great day, if it were, I wouldn't be here when I had very big plans for my day that didn't include a car ride to the hospital because of an unfortunate accident.
