A few weeks after the destruction of the Memory Stone, everything has gone back to normal at CHS. But Sunset Shimmer notices that Wallflower Blush has begun to act a little strange. Sometimes she leaves the classroom for too long and on occasion, doesn't show up for school at all. She decides to dig a little deeper and find out why Wallflower is acting strange... and discovers a horrible secret.
DISCLAIMER: There is no suicide in this story. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, or anything similar, please do not read. For those who do read this, please read the author's message before the 1st chapter. It'll explain my reasoning behind this story.
(The title of this story and each chapter is named after a song by the band Citizen Soldier.)

see if she's alright
Other than this and the dialogue feeling a little weird, it's an interesting start. Let's see were it goes.

Thx 4 pointing those out. I know the dialogue is a little weird, but I just write what's in my head.
10604691
It's a matter of practice, it still gives a feeling of something it's not right
10604708
I just try 2 get my point across.
I’m enjoying it so far. And while I’ve never had thoughts of suicide, I did go through a depression phase fairly recently since my ex wife verbally and mentally abused me during our marriage. So the authors note really pulled at my strings

I just want to reach out 2 people with this story. Listen 2 Citizen Soldier if U ever feel depressed again. U won't regret it.
It's a nice thing you're doing here, but non-narrative content where you're just speaking to your readers should go in an actual author's note (there's a box for that in the chapter editing interface), or a blog post, not the body text of an actual chapter.
I fixed it. My mistake.
Of course that would be your answer.
Hey, I didn't notice anything to correct and the conversation felt a lot more natural. I'm also interested in the aparent mistery and I'm happy that Wallflower has parents in this story.
Well done!

You'll find out what's going on in Chapter 3.
10606873
Also, I assume U read the Author's Message?
10606879
I did. Why do you ask?
10606888
Just wondering 'cause I'm sure some people skip over stuff like that (myself included). I just want to make sure people understand my reasoning 4 this story.
10606894
You don't need to explain yourself. You've good reasons and I understand why you wanted to do it.
I usually write more optimistic versions of these stories because I want to be more optimistic after dealing with these kind of things on my personal life, and for now this story seems to be handling the subject pretty well, so I don't think you've much to worry about.
10606904
Thx.
Then why spoiler this out?
10608143
Because suicide and selfharm are both in the same tag, so people may have the wrong idea getting into the story.
10608295
Exactly.
10608299
I honestly have seen it so many times that I wonder if the mods should separate the tags into individual ones, but I think that would screw up a lot of coding.
10608308
Oh well. What can ya do?
1. Love the username as a fellow skillet fan
2. Loving the fix. It manages to be grounded, believable, yet also compelling

Thx!
7 years.
That's how long I've been In Wallflower's position.
Doesn't get any easier, every day's a struggle, wishing I wasn't here being a burden to everybody.
10609752
That sucks.
10609767
My existence sucks. You get used to it.
10609791
Well, U only live once. Don't take it 4 granted.
Hmm I like this so far

Thx. (I'm not the best at writing but I try nonetheless.)
