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.

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

Frank is just an ordinary person, with an ordinary job, when one day everything changes. A flaming metal object falls from the sky, crashes right in his backyard, and what was inside it would change his life forever. Chapters: 33/33. Complete. FAQ at the end covers all 3 installations of the fic. Prologue and Epilogue can be found on my page.

After the wars, Battery City lost all of its color to the Better Living Industry. Everything for the citizens is just a black, white and grey landscape of city, nothing beyond it except the Zones. But in their dreams, things are different. Everything is full of color, and people are fighting the BLI, not working for them. No one speaks of the dreams- they are strictly forbidden to by the government. Everyone wants to stay longer in this fabulous, action-packed world of adventure, but it's only a dream, right? Pepper Hood doesn't think so. She worked for the BLI- she knows there's more than just dirt and sun out there. One day, when hiding out along the borders of Battery City with her friends, they are pushed into the Zones. That's when all of Pepper's dreams come true.
