This is the story of Lynn Owens, a teenage girl who had it all. The love of her life, her family, and even money. She knew she needed nothing more. Insert Grace Lynch, and Lynn felt like the happiest girl alive.

...Until the unthinkable happened. When Grace is left comatose in the aftermath of something awful, Lynn is destroyed, fraught, and unsure of how to feel about anything. Lynn continued to fight, deciding that staying strong and being with Grace was the best option. However, as hard as Lynn tried to keep herself together, the evil of man and the darkness within herself had come out on top.

Lynn finally shattered and what came with that was a yearning for numbness. She spiraled out of control, falling into the world of Heroin and Benzos. Further and further she fell, until she was placed into The Oregon Mental Health and Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Center by her parents and a lone friend. Alone and scared, she was now forced to look at herself...and a pair of familiar faces.

Can Lynn take a step forward without taking another two backwards?

What happens when Lynn meets the problematic singer and songwriter, Jay Ward? With anger issues and an appetite for destruction, could Jay be exactly what Lynn needs? Could Lynn be exactly what Jay needs? Or are they one another's downfall? Will Grace return to Lynn?

Can Lynn pick up the pieces and regain what once was?

❝ But writing pushes me past any boundaries.❞

Some people are naturally good at life and coast through it with no problems. Ethan Goldsworth is not one of them. Not even close. College was too hard, so he quit. Now his stepdad hates him more than before, his mom just doesn't care, and Ethan is left with no one to value his life. Until Jaymee Simmons.

List of Characters

What happens when certain conditions force polar opposites into friendship?

Is the phrase "Opposites attract" right? Maybe... But not for Sophia Mackenzie and Damon Blake. The phrase for them is more like "The opposite of attraction"

Ever since the fourth grade Damon and Sophia have been sworn enemies.

Now it's senior year and they're still throwing insult after insult at each other. Everyone knows that when they're in the same room all hell will break loose. Even the teachers knew not to put them in the same class.

All but one.

Mr. Willis being the crazy teacher he is purposely chose these two to be in the same class. Everyone said Damon and Sophia being in the same class for a year would be a disaster waiting to happen.

What they didn't expect was for Damon and Sophia to grow closer than ever.

 She has recently moved to a different place and has started a new life, she has left her friends behind and made new ones, in her previous life she was the popular girl, she had a reputation and everyone loved her, until her life turned upside down.  Ashleigh Reyes a 16 year old faces her life after her unexpected rape. She has been labelled the “school slut”, she undergoes obstacles such as depression, PTSD and self harm. Being an only child, she doesn’t have any siblings to consult in, her parents work on the daily and have no time for her. Will Ashleigh get through this?

It had a scratched blue-floored rink, carpeted walls splashed with early 90's neon designs, out-dated and mostly out of order arcade games, and a worn out old disco ball. It smelled a little like stale pizza and oranges and was staffed by bored teenagers, but to us,​ Ugly's was a mighty kingdom of parent-free social freedom.

Sometimes life isn't what it seems. Finding your way through the maze of paths can be disheartening and frighting. Follow this journey through soaring highs and abysmal lows overcast by mystery.

About the projectMy struggles with mental illness has lead me to express my experiences, thoughts, and emotions through many different mediums. Writing happens to be one of them. Time to time I would go onto my Tumblr and write short stories or poems and never post them. After a few years I had accumulated a small collection of written pieces that I went on to finally post to the public. Met with enough good feedback I decided to take most of my writing and post them on sites like this. Now I'm just waiting to see where Faded Blue takes me.

How Faded Blue came to be is easy to explain. As to why I write these stories will hopefully be explained by reading the collection. Currently their is no foreseeable end goal for Faded Blue.

Message to the reader

I hope you enjoy reading Faded Blue! Comments, constructive criticism, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
