OMG THAT ENDING 

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• No OM drama
• Does have OW drama kinda
— the mean girl who has a ONS with Creed is still causing problems 
— Stephanie who has a crush on Knox also tries to cause problems
• Does have Knox pushing the Heroine away 
• No separation 


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Drugging and attempted r@pe
• Physical assault 
• Drugging (Uncle drugs the Heroine in hopes of relocating her because he know she wouldn’t consent to moving)
• Depression
• Suicidal thoughts (more along the lines of not wanting to live and not caring if the Heroine gets hurt than self-harm)
• Police intimidation 
• Medical trauma
• Threat of gun violence 
• PTSD including semi-descriptive flashbacks (nothing of what was done to the Heroine but about what she witnessed — her mom being stabbed and her sister being killed)


Ending:
Cliffhanger
