And so at last, I give Troubled back to you. To be honest, it was always yours to begin with. Sorry it took me so long to realize that. 
          	
          	Did I ever fully re-write this story like I said I would so I could anonymously post it on Kindle Unlimited? No, not entirely. I made it through about a quarter before I decided I was too embarrassed to continue. Maybe someday I will come back to it. 
          	
          	The thing is, I wrote this when I was 14 years old. Is it going to be cringey? Yes, absolutely. But I also think that's something we are all missing right now. As the saying goes, we were cringey, but we were free. 
          	
          	Please be gentle with her. For better or worse, your words mean far more to me than you know.

one of the very first stories I ever read on here was a story called "Troubled" by x17black and it was so good that despite me reading hundreds of other stories; that is the one of the only pieces that I still think about to this day. when she posted a sequel, I was ecstatic and I jumped to read it immediately even though there were only a few pages published. I don't believe she ever finished it, however. Now, all these years later, I wanted to reread Troubled, only to find out that she took it down because she felt embarrassed about her old writing. I can understand that, I still would like to just thank the author for changing my life with that one story. That story made me want to read more and more books. I think about that story often, I think about Melanie and Harry often. I remember when the fear street movies came out and Emily Rudd appeared on screen and my mouth dropped to the floor. I became a fan of hers from reading this story. I just hope that someday x17black reposts both, Troubled and Bad Habit. I truly loved and cherished those stories and those characters became my comfort characters for a long time. That story was a comfort story as well. I hope that it is reconsidered and that it's republished.

@HarrysInfinityWife I read this comment a while ago and it still sticks with me to this day. Knowing these characters brought you comfort and remained with you for years brings me so much joy. If you still think of them or need a hit of nostalgia, the story is back up. Thank you for your love and support x

@kyleerose223 I also wish she never deleted it, this story and two others changed my life and made me fall in love with literature and I have yet to find any others that made me feel the way they did. I still think about them. The others being- Some scars can heal by Sunnysunshine and My Brothers Best Friend by Stylescloud. Both of which also can't be read on here anymore. Some Scar Can Heal was deleted as well and the author deleted their account too and My Brothers Best Friend was published on paperback. Still though, nothing beats the feeling as reading a great story and escaping reality by doing so and these books truly made me feel emotion. They meant so much to me and I want nothing more than to be able to read them again.

I agree, I was looking for her for years to find troubled again and reread it. My heart sunk when I realized it wasn’t on here anymore
