It's just that sometimes there just isn't enough of that same love for some of their parents. And there really isn't enough love for her least favorite parent, Adrian Lawson. He's difficult. He's moody. He's notorious for picking up his son late every day. So when her least favorite parent asks her to be his nanny at a price well worth her time and she reluctantly accepts, Kid learns what it really means to offer grace unconditionally to a man who may just be the son of the devil himself.

Dianna Pearson was devastated when the truth came out. Brian Davidson closed his eyes in despair wrestling with the realization Dianna was an escort twelve years ago. Amanda smirked and celebrated the news that left Dianna devasted and humiliated. This happened when she was eighteen and it kept coming back to haunt her. Brian knew she had secrets she practically admitted it when he pursued her relentlessly but never imagined it was something like this. Could he marry her after learning the truth? Amanda continued to gloat and was happy Dianna did not fool her brother. She never felt she was good enough for him. "You can not marry this woman," Amanda continued to be mean and insensitive. Brian was at a loss for words trying to digest everything about the woman he had fallen in love with. Dianna leaned against the wall feeling overwhelmed as the tears streamed endlessly down her cheeks. "Brian, I can explain," she cried touching his hands gently. "Don't," he said feeling emotions, of anger, hurt, and frustration all at once. He loved her but could not face her right now. Dianna felt her heart drop and crumbled into a million little pieces at that moment. The look of disappointment in his eyes left a hole in her heart. Brian walked away and Dianna was completely heartbroken.

My friend and I decided to do a little 'project' to ask our friends for random objects that we'd write a story about. We would write them as fast as we could during free periods at school. It was 2018 when we started this, but I carried on this practice of writing and do enjoy coming up with short stories to share with the world. So here are some short stories I wrote in class or whenever I have the time. (Not really edited, but thanks for reading:)

**2ND PLACE IN THE WATTY'S OSCAR AWARDS ** "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE !? " I yelled in her face making her coward back in fear , just how I like them. "I really am sorry Logan ..." "NOT ENOUGH. IF YOU THINK I'VE MADE YOUR LIFE HELL BEFORE, JUST YOU WAIT !" And with that , I grabbed my bag, leaving her in her pile of misery. If she thought I was going to stay after that little performance of her , she had another thing coming. "Logan please! Don't do this . I promised your mom I would help you . Even if it means I have to sit through your insults " she said , yanking me back by my backpack. I was beyond peeved at her right now. "Who do you think you ARE little 'I'm a church girl ' !? Who gives you the RIGHT TO JUST YANK ON ME ! INCASE I HAVEN'T MADE IT CLEAR YET ; LET ME MAKE IT CLEARER. " I looked her straight in the face and jabbed my finger " DONT. YOU . DARE. TOUCH. ME. AGAIN! " As I pulled back her eyes started to gloss over , making her stumble backwards and hit the wall behind her. Pathetic. **** Logan Delgada was your typical , stereotypical super popular , rich jocks that thinks the world revolved around him. The type of guy that walks around with the attitude that 'the party doesn't start until he gets there ' . Like he's a gift to the world. Amaya Parker is a preacher's daughter. The youth leader at their church. She hides away in big crowds and does everything in her will power to keep everyone around her happy. He's rude. She's thoughtful. He swears . She's won the spelling bee. So what happens when a simple prayer makes these two worlds collide ? *started 28 February 2019 * *finished 22 January 2020* *edited 28 January 2020*
