~*~You just need to find someone who's demons play well with yours.~*~
---
Alex Lock was the shy girl in her family. She was intelligent, she was kind, but her outside looks weren't the best of everyone else. Yes, she was beautiful, but not as much as her sister, Penelope Lock. Her family called her Penny, and she was the one all the guys looked for. She was brave. She was the exact opposite of Alex. Because of this, Alex always lived in her older sister's shadow. She wouldn't speak unless spoken to. She never drew attention to herself. The only way she stood out was by the graphic t-shirts and high tops with jeans she liked to wear. She hated having to wear a dress or heals. She was a tomboy who loved to read books full of romance and play video games full of gore. But no body knew of the voice that was in her head, always telling her off and bringing her down. Then one day there's a new transfer student. He goes by the name of Benedict Wilson. He was tall, handsome, and had all the girls falling at his feet, especially Penelope. Seeing as her sister likes the new student, Alex doesn't go for him. Being the people-pleaser that she is, she always lets others go first. Even if it means her getting nothing. She simply wanted to hide in the shadows and be left alone to her own mind. But Benedict has something else planned. He takes a liking to her. Finding her beautiful. He goes after her, trying to get her attention with little things like giving her compliments, always making sure she was included in things and conversations. But Alex takes this as just a sign that the new kid wants to get closer to the little sister of the one he's actually going for. So she pushes him back, but she begins to like him too. Fighting her own mind against her feelings and the feelings of others, Alex has to learn that someone can love her. That someone can want her too. This all has to be done alone.

Infinity x The World by LunaLightfoot

Warning: this book's focus is drawn to a character who hints themes of depression and self-harm. The idea of the story is to present the experience of learning to understand and comfort someone through these struggles. So while these themes are contained within a comical styled story, they are still present so please be mindful of that before you read on. You. You're just a normal girl. A normal girl with a normal life... until you meet the boy with blue hair... Name: unknown Age: unknown Human? Unknown How can someone live a life without anyone knowing of their existence?

You want to know, don't you? Then simply allow your mind to go wondering into this book and discover the secrets behind the boy who no one knows. (This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story.... If my studies would stop getting in the way]

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn} by Run-Dont-Walk

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

$Suicidal Attraction {Old Version} by _DarkQueen$

"When people who have trust issues fall in love it's scary. The people they fall for fill up that hole in their life that was left by someone who caused them to have trust issues. The person starts to fill whole and happy; like this person is the one. But when that one person leaves,the one who made them invincible,they're crushed. The persons life gets worse and they fall deeper and deeper into that hole. The hole of what used to be." Kira Green is one that never wanted to fall in love. She planned on being alone and pushed everyone who loved her away. She gets bullied relentlessly even though she tries her hardest not to be seen.

She wants absolutely nothing to do with Logan,but somehow he finds a way to meddle his way into her life. And when he figures out more about Kira,he's more than shocked. He doesn't see a girl who hates the entire world ,but hates herself even more. He doesn't see a fat, ugly, whore when gazing into her eyes.

But not everyone who you try to save ends up being saved in the end. Sometimes it's just too late. As Kira always says ,"Happily ever after was so once upon a time."

It simply is a story about two broken people on a quest to fix one another and mange to somehow fall in love with each other along the way. FYI THIS IS NOT A FAN FICTION! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STORY CREATED BY ME!!!

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample) by chelseaxxm123

[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.

Playing With Fire (Charlie Weasley X Reader) by TheLemonSheriff

Charlie X Reader, 'Playing With Fire' Book 1 (Series Completed) *** "Uh, yeah. I stopped going to classes a while back. Believe it or not, that's not good for the GPA. I had, like, a 26 average or something," I said like it wasn't a big deal. "Damn, that's not great," he admitted. He rounded the corner into Percy's room. I could hear Percy fighting with the twins in their room. "Why'd you do that?" he asked teasingly. "My dad died," I answered honestly. "Oh, shit. I'm sorry," he said and his face dropped. "It's alright," I dismissed. "Seriously, stop looking at me like that." "I can't help it," he said. "You're making it worse. You look like a wounded puppy," I whined. "Don't be like everyone else. I'm sick of people treating me differently because of this whole thing. Treat me normally." "You mean, like flirt with you a little bit?" "Well, I, uh," I stuttered. He grinned at me. "You're blushing." *** Seventh-year Y/N Y/L/N is what the professors would call a prime example of wasted potential, with an impressively bad 26% average. As far as she's concerned, she is past academic redemption. However, Dumbledore and McGonagall decide to introduce a new opportunity for struggling students, a scholarship that covers a trip abroad. Y/N is desperately in need of this scholarship if she wants to graduate from Hogwarts, but she is struggling through more than anyone knows. The only thing that is keeping her going is the family she's found with the Weasleys. They're an odd bunch and that's exactly why she fits in. Because she doesn't. Things are simple with the Weasley family. That is until she crosses a line with one of the Weasley boys, a path that can never be retraced. Y/N finds herself trapped in a web of lies that she had created. One spark and everything she has worked for could be gone in an instant. And she's playing with fire. This story contains mature content. Trigger warnings are included at the beginning of chapters. I hope you enjoy!

Fix You ✧ ((Harry Styles/Selena Gomez)) by hipstaprincess

"Please, go out with me?" "No." "Why not?" "I'm bad for you." "I love you and I don't care if you're involved with shit. I am in love with you. I'm not giving up on you and I will try to fix you." Harry Styles is the epitome of the perfect student. He has good grades, a kind personality, and supportive friends, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. His mum is the principal of Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School so he's well-taken care of in and outside of home and always nurtured with love. He's his mum's precious baby, especially since his older sister Gemma moved out for University. His mother can't bear the sight of Harry broken or even just feeling sad so she does her best to protect him and steer him away from any source of pain. Selena Gomez is quite the opposite. Losing her parents in the fifth grade wasn't an easy ordeal for her; ever since then, she hasn't been the same happy child her parents wished her to be. She lives with her two older brothers, Tyler and Derek, their best friend Dylan, Tyler's girlfriend, Crystal, and Crystal's best friend, Holland--all sharing the mutual fact that their parents were killed by the same man. After years of a deep hunt, tensions of the past are finally resolved, but Selena isn't. During these years, she's grown cold and ignorant, often shutting herself out to everyone and relying on her only escape from the world: art. Her apperance grew darker and her actions, though are for good intentions, appear as crimes. She's been misjudged and always cast in a bad light, so no one really knows her except for her family. Everyone's advised to stay away from the dark beauty who basically spells out trouble. But what if the most sheltered boy in town is truly, madly, deeply, in love with the most dangerous girl? Love is not finding someone perfect; it's seeing someone imperfect perfectly.
