Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The other one would learn how wrong his thoughts were.

"I think that by now, it's safe to say that today sucks." Parrish Bishop's family is missing. Again.

But soon after the pair begins to track down the family's kidnappers, Parrish is called back into battle...and his mind is altered forever. His memories are scrambled, he begins to have 'episodes', and can no longer tell who's on his side. Parrish always knew that life would be hard. But he never knew that he'd fall for someone, lose his family, and end up sharing his mind with a demon...who may be a little too familiar.

Aurel was a musician. Other than music, he had no other interest in anything else; he had no ambitions, no goal, and no interest in others. Someone like him, it was lucky that he was born into a wealthy family. All his life, there was never a time where he suffered grievances- until the day when he was murdered by his cousin. Things began to change from that day on. He was bound to a system and was made to save people and suffer grievances. Through this system, Aurel was made to see what it's like to have no food to eat, no money to spend, relatives whom despises him, enemies lurking around every corner waiting for a chance to kill him. For the first time in his life, Aurel finally knew what 'hell' meant. This is a journey of how a narcissistic and apathetic man became sadistic, even more narcissistic, and a corrupt being. *Inspired by all of the systems book {LOVE THEM}* ***Pictures are not mine, they belong to their rightful owners***

C O M P L E T E D - 24/03/2021 - l o v e y o u r e n e m i e s - Anxiety. It's a hard thing to deal with, more so in high school. But what if, on top of anxiety, you add questioning your sexuality and a pretty boy you happen to hate, who now, grudgingly, has to be your tutor? Matthew Jenkins, a boy silently suffering with an anxiety disorder which he lets overtake his emotions, and Alexander Montgomery, a troublemaker with unspeakable parental issues, have always been rivals, spitting insults at each other at every given chance. That is until a teacher declares Alex as Matty's tutor and everything changes. "Why did they let you tutor me if you're such a trouble maker?" "Because they thought you would change me. Which... they weren't wrong." If you don't like this story, just stop reading it and move on. There's absolutely no need to let people know. This is a boy x boy story so if that's not for you, I suggest you leave. Any hateful comments left on this story will be reported and deleted, and you will be blocked. Thank you.
