3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry.

"Samantha Banks! Get a hold of yourself, woman! I have a girlfriend!" It could have been just another school year for Samantha Banks.

What will they discover about themselves? How will they deal with the complexity of their situations? Will what started as a nightmare scenario end well for both of them?

Ryan Sanderson finally wakes up after about a year of being in a coma due to a car accident. She discovers that things are different though, her best friend is not the same person she left behind and neither is her boyfriend. And the weirdest thing of all, the boy who bullied her and made her life difficult before now goes out of his way to protect her. But still, some things never change. Despite just waking up after a little over a year of sleep, her parents are the same hateful, cruel, cold-hearted people she's known and learnt to not love. For some reason, she thought things might be different with them. Ryan now seeks to make up for lost time by trying things she's never tried before with her ex-bully Colton Claire but are the feelings that she's slowly developing for him normal? A story of love, drama, new friendships and so much more. You might find the first two or three chapters sad but the mood of the story lightens up. (I've decided to re-write the description because the last one didn't give enough info.) (I'm not good at summaries but the story is a whole lot better then the summary makes it out to be).

From kissing to sunbathing to volleyball, summer this year is going to be one hell of a ride.

"Cay, will you look at me?" I turned around and lifted my eyes to look into his. His arms were braced on the counter and he was looking at me sideways. The glow of the light coming from the living room and into the kitchen gave his face an otherworldly impression. I waited for him to continue. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Cay... Just so you know... I wanted to do it. Right there, a while ago. But you know why I couldn't, and why we shouldn't." There was a pain in my chest at his words. But I just gazed at him, unsure of what to say. He was right. It would be a mistake. And no matter how many times my weak heart and frail mind wanted him to kiss me, it would be selfish, not to mention immoral. In the end we would both regret it, and that would hurt the most. © rainthereader 2012 All Rights Reserved
