Hurt her. I know better than to listen to the voices in my head. You know you want to. But sometimes.... It just gets hard to ignore them. Slap her. I try my hardest to contain myself. Kick her. I listen to the voices sometimes. I let my mind wander for one second.... And then.... Kill her! They're all in control. ___________________________________ Jacob has been hearing voices since he was fifteen. He had no clue as to why the voices suddenly appeared in his thoughts. He told his mother and in response she did nothing. He begged for help from her; he had questions that needed to be answered. He's now seventeen, and has been to therapist after therapist after therapist, and Jacob still has no answers. Just six months ago he found out that if the voices really try their hardest they can control him for a short or long period of time. He's gotten into a lot of trouble because of this. Jacob has been taken out of two schools; the first because he felt unsafe in his surroundings, the second because..... Well, I don't think you're ready to really know why yet. Jacob has learned to live with the voices in his head. He has finally seemed to understand that he will not be able to rid them from his mind. So what happens when Jacob finds interest in a girl, and she finds interest in him? He's never been in this type of situation before so he has no idea what to expect. Will the voices approve? If not, then what will happen? Will Jacob end up doing something that he will soon regret afterwards? Find out how loud voices, were once soft whispers. ***Copyright ForeverMindless247***

I hated Zane Khan. I hated the way he was so cocky and sure of himself. I hated the way he always knew how to get under my skin. I hated the way he always pretended not to care. He wasn't a nice person; he's made that clear. Yet I still can't stay away from him. But what I hated about Zane the most, was how he made me fall irrevocably in love with him.
