Just in case it wasn't stressed enough in my final statement at the end of the epilogue and in chapter fifteen, this story was not made to encourage or condone suicide. This was only made to educate others and spread a message of awareness. This is why I focused on Ariana's experiences with PTSD, intimate partner violence (also known as domestic abuse), abusive relationships, human trafficking, and finally with depression and suicide. 

I want to make it as clear as possible that this was only made for education purposes and that if you experienced similar things as Ariana and are still having difficulty with them, I would definitely recommend therapy if you haven't looked into it already. Below is the Human Trafficking Hotline in case you live here and have experienced this. This is also good to have if you suspect that one of your friends is in this situation. 

1 833-900-1010 (Canada)

1 888-373-7888 (United States)

I do not have all of the hotlines for every country, so I apologize if this is not a number that you can call. Still, I suggest using resources such as this if you have experienced something similar. 

If you have any unanswered questions regarding the sorry, maybe plot holes or just details, you can comment it right here, where I will answer them.

Thank you to all who made it through this and I am so glad that you enjoyed this. I look forward to seeing you in the next story! Definitely check out Whiplash246's account. They provided me with the prompt that made this story come to life!
