| NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

Hello readers!

The last thing I should even be doing is starting another story, but I plan to make this a short story that would end in about thirteen chapters, if that. Which would be one of the shortest stories I have planned out for the finish, or somewhat planned out. Excuse me for still ironing out details!

Yet in my other stories, you will not find an author's note in the beginning from me. Which will start changing as of now, because I understand that we all could be struggling with something or maybe everyone is okay.

I don't want to take that chance, so I want to insert this tigger warning.

This story can or may include,

Dark Themes

Depression

Does mention and contain Suicide

Does contain character death

Anxiety

Mentions of self harm

Angst

Domestic Violence

Drug abuse

Mental health is highly important and crucial, so if these topics do trigger you then this story might not be good for you too read. If you do struggle with any of these or with something I missed that can be in this story (I don't have very much written yet, the list above may be altered as this story develops), please note and know that you are not alone.

Down below are hotlines you can call if you feel as if you can't talk to anyone you know and love, but are seeking help. Please do not be afraid to ask for help if you are in need of it. You are loved, and you are important to this world.
