Everyone's Got Problems

[LAURZY!]

WOW!!! my god those updates were amazing

You had me in tears!

So glad Tyler opened up to her, hope he's able to open up to a professional, possibly Aden?

I dont really know what else to say, i'm kinda speechless to be honest!

Brilliant, brilliant updates! you are such a good writer

[Lise]

That was truly brillant!

I really don't know what else to say.

I can't wait to read more.

she sniffled as she started to cry, reminding Belle of when she was three years old and Aden had tried to give her a car to play with instead of a doll.

Aww that is such an adorable image. Aden and Belle with a three year old. We need more happy flashbacks with them and the kids when they were younger. I know theres so much I could have quoted but the image of Aden giving a 3 year old girl a car instead of doll and Tess crying about it is too cute.

The last two chapters have been amazing.

I'm starting like Kat. At first I thought she would be just another mean teenager thats there just to help the plot along but it nice to see softer side to her.

Now Tyler and Tess. That scene was brilliant. You wrote it beautifully. I felt so sad for Tyler when he said that no matter what his father did he didn't want that to happen to him because he was still his father. I don't what else to say to show just how good that scene was. I was stunned.

A lovely Tess/Belle scene you gave us. I loved how Tess just jumped out of the bed and ran to Belle the second she entered the room. They have such a sweet relationship.

Can't wait to see if Belle and Aden find out about Tylers past. And more about the mysterious man. Please update soon.

Hi, thank you for all the comments, i'm really glad you liked this chapter.

Today i read a really inspiration auto-biography that made me cry not only during reading it, but ten minutes after i'd finished it randomly. It was called Criminal by Caspar Walsh and i would reccommend it to anyone. But it inspired me to take a divertion in the story, and it's something i don't know much about and a darker plot than i originally intended but i feel that the seriousness of the situations in the story shouldn't be looked over and i want to make what i can of it real.

I don't know if i'll have time to update over the next few days, so this is a sneak peek. It's pretty much a first draft so it will change quite a bit before the chapter.

Tyler sat on the beach, sitting close to the shore as the breeze blew gentle and warm on his face. He glanced upwards and looked at the overpowering stars, he wondered briefly what they had done to deserve their place in the heavens, their dominating position over the rest of Earth. And their twinkle as though they knew something you didn't. Perhaps they did, they viewed the actions of humans wherever in the world yet no judgement was passed on those actions. Other people believed God did the judging. God as the judge and the stars as his army. Tyler scoffed at the thought, he wasn't so sure he believed in any kind of God.

He thought perhaps the stars were watching him now and laughing as he brought the sweet smelling alcohol to his lips. He had drunk so much as to not care about the taste anymore and as he looked out in the ocean he thought maybe he could do what his Mum had done and run into it. Never stopping until fate took him. Run until his feet didn't touch the ground but still refuse to swim. Maybe it was the perfect escape, an ease only known by those that had the courage to do it. Yet did it take courage, or selfishness? She had left him. Left him. Alone and scared. Scared because now there was nothing to hide behind, he had to face these feelings, feelings he'd been keeping hidden for the past seven years.

When he had been in Tess's presence he hadn't realised the consequences of the words spilling out of his mouth. Yet when alone, he immediately regretted telling her. The shame that came with everything he'd seen, everything he felt he should have stopped. He would have to face her again, but for now the alcohol was a temporary solution to the pain.

"Hey mate, what's up?" he looked up to see a face he recognised as Jimmy Green, the person he had bought the pills off that had killed his mother.

"What does that even mean?" Tyler slurred, "'What's up?' I mean, it doesn't even make sense! What about what's down?"

Jimmy sat down slowly, "That would be what's goin down?" he told him wisely.

Tyler laughed, "What's going down?" he repeated. "My life, my life is going down..." he took anothe swig of the bottle.

"Sounds like you need a high!" Jimmy said and lit up a spliff. "Want one?"

Tyler looked at him, "Nah, mate you're alright," he declined.

"Looks to me you need something to numb the pain," Jimmy commented.

Tyler held up the alcohol bottle in demonstration and Jimmy laughed.

"Alcohol is for teen angst," Jimmy told him. "You want a real kick, you'll try this. Isn't the hard stuff but we can ease you on to that if you're willing?" he held out the spliff to him.

Tyler looked at it, then to Jimmy. He was too drunk not to believe in the truth of what Jimmy was telling him. And soon he'd be too high to realise this drug was not a cure... only a mask.

Seriously, read this biography. over two hundred pages and i read it in a day and wanted more, i even WANTED to read the acknowledgements and anything else it was that good. If you want to know more, ask me, lol.

[Taniya_K]

Can't wait for the next update.
