Jas gives me a sympathetic look. She sighs heavily, long nails tapping against the wooden table, dodging the 'Missing' posters scattered all over the surface. "Maybe," she finally says, "Just maybe, he doesn't want to be found, Ava." I clench my jaw. "No. I refuse to believe that. He's not like that." "What do you know?" Jas snorts, finally withdrawing her hand from the table and turning back to look at me. "You don't even know him." xx Ford Wilson was in three out of four of Ava Jackson's classes. They had one mutual friend, did a project together once in sophomore year, and had the same lunch. When Ava's car had broke down, she had even ended up parked outside of Ford's house, asking for gas. In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.

Veronica Tyler wanted to forget her past as a member of the SWAT team of Los Angeles just as much as she wanted to forget her modest beginnings in a Ohio town that produced nothing but teen mothers and careers in the fast food industry. Her life was flipped upside down by the events she witnessed on the SWAT team, familial deaths, and becoming an instant mother. Despite the pitfalls, she makes a comfortable life for herself as a cop caring for her parentless nephew. At least until a virus brings the nation to its knees and the dead to their feet. Sergeant First Class Booker Ashly Dunbar - just Dunbar if you value your health - has spent the last sixteen years of his life in the U.S. army. He has taken more than a few bullets, but none of that pain could amount to the grief that has lingered for years after the deaths of some of his men in the beginning of his career. After finishing his last tour in the Middle East, he decides to enter the reserves, hoping that this new status will bring some peace back to his life. That is, until his mother dies. He comes home to find her house robbed, his sister beaten to a pulp, and the country in a state of chaos with a virus that is facilitating what is being deemed an apocalypse. Steven "Psycho Steve" Troublefield has spent the majority of his life in and out of jail cells, eventually graduating to the big leagues of prison time. After his release, he reconnects with an old pal that helps him set up a meth lab in his apartment, often referring to themselves as chemists. It's a smooth operation at first, until they encroach on the territory of a kingpin's drug syndicate. Finding themselves owing this kingpin thousands of dollars in exchange for their lives, they resort to any means necessary to get the money... Until a plague of the walking dead suddenly seem to free them from their debt. The lives of these individuals often cross in more ways than one. This is their story of the pestilence years.

Sick of cliché Wattpad books? Then this isn't the book for you. We take every single over-used plot, character and trope on Wattpad - from player-meets-nerd to my-boyfriend-is-a-vampire - and mash it all into one, awful, hilarious parody. NOTE: This is a parody. Characters have not been created to mock a race/nationality/sexuality, they have been created to lightly poke fun at the way certain teen fiction writers reduce them into crude stereotypes. Thanks for helping this pile of junk get to #1 in Humor!
