"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together. "Why are you stripping, Monty?" Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down. "Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me." "So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh. "..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him. "I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not." "You are." He spoke in a demanding tone. "Please. You know how he is." I expressed "And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged. "I know." He shook his head, walking away from me. "Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.

Elyra has lived in the shadow of her twin sister, Eliana, ever since the tragic accident that took Eliana's life. Blamed by her parents and older brother, Caleb, she endures years of mistreatment, forced into servitude in her own home while carrying the unbearable weight of their hatred. What they don't know is that Elyra is dying-secretly battling terminal cancer, with only fourteen days left to live. Each day is a struggle, not just against her failing body but against the family who wishes she had died instead of Eliana. But when Caleb stumbles upon her hidden medication, his world shatters. The sister he despised is slipping away, and for the first time, he sees the truth-she was never the villain they made her out to be. As the days tick down, Caleb tries to make amends, but fate is cruel. On Elyra's last day, an accident leaves him in desperate need of a heart transplant. With no hesitation, Elyra makes the ultimate sacrifice, forcing the doctors to proceed without their parents' consent. Caleb wakes up with a new heart, only to realize the price of his survival-his sister is gone. The family that once scorned her is left drowning in regret, but it's too late. Elyra is nothing more than a whisper in the wind, a fading echo of a love that was never returned. A heartbreak tale of pain, redemption, and love found too late.

Kali has almost killed herself one too many times. Her latest attempt lands her in a more serious situation than ever before: McLean Hospital. Lisa Rowe, Kali's roommate, is less than pleased by her arrival for personal reasons. But maybe time can heal all wounds and bring the two together. Can Lisa really ever love someone other than herself though? The book that literally nobody asked for, but I'm writing because of a writing workshop dare and I have an unhealthy obsession with Girl, Interrupted (and Angelina Jolie, as established already). Girl, Interrupted and its setting, characters, and all other story elements belong to Susanna Kaysen. I only own my OCs and the plot I've constructed. Contains descriptions of mental health, abuse, and other mature content that might trigger some readers. Viewer discretion is advised.
