Things Will Get Better

Writer

Thank you for reading Things Will Get Better The story was originally going to be a short story but I just kept adding to it, I also liked what I had as a short story that's why there are two versions of the story. the story was inspired by a lot of songs that I was listening to at the time lots of bits and pieces from those songs when I was thinking of this story. Holding My Breath by Midnight Cinema, Burn Me Now by Midnight Cinema, Heavy by Midnight Cinema Perfect Stranger by Midnight Cinema and Keep Breathing by Nathan Wagner. Especially by this song You by Nathan Wagner the ending, and Little bit by Without The Bitter, The Sweet Isn't As Sweet by Mayday Parade that was a big title, but not much but mostly by those 6 songs.
