Where there is a villain, there is always a hero. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to watch television without some hero's face cropping up at one point or another. They're as famous as any movie or rock star, known far and wide for their heroic actions meant to keep whatever city they live in safe. But what about the faces we don't see? The ones these heroes see every day, but we hear not a word of? Behind every hero is a family with parents, pets, even siblings. This isn't the story of the bright-faced heroes covering billboards, and this isn't the story of the dastardly villains they fight on a daily basis, either. This is the story of the siblings standing in the shadows of their older brothers' and sisters' heroism, and how they banded together to save the world from an evil tyrant who intended to end it.

A/N: This is an unedited, significantly different version of the soon to be published novel by losangelesque aka L. Akhter. This draft was written when I was 15-18 years old and I highly encourage new readers to read the published version instead. Former high school football star Frank Novak meets profound and depressed loner Lolita Abri - and falls headfirst into love. Throughout the course of one school year, they unravel each other and their sadness, setting apart their differences and realizing that sometimes love isn't enough - and sometimes it just might be.

Book #1 in the themed love collection Short Story #130: 12 • 5 • 14 *** This is for the girl that sits in bed at midnight tossing and turning in her covers. Perhaps imagining scenarios in which she gets her own prince charming or wondering how different life would have been if a certain incident didn’t occur. This is for the girl who stays up all night trying to finish a romantic novel and imagining herself as the main character. This is for the girl who doesn’t believe in love, yet is a hopeless romantic at heart. This is for the girl who shines bright enough to make a dark room light up. This is for the girl who has given up on her happily ever after. This is for all the insecurities we have, the hopelessness we feel and the thousands of romance novels we’ve read. This is for us, for to love another we must love ourselves first. This isn’t a story about falling in love, this is a story about loving yourself first. © 2014 Tarjani
