Foster Care wasn't always so bad for the 16 year old Akira White. It always had it's good and bad days. She lost her dad mysteriously when she was two and never met her mom. Rumor was it, that she got strung out on drugs and ended up killing herself. Akira didn't believe that and she WOULD not believe that. In her heart, she knew her mom was out there somewhere trying to find her and bring her back home. How do you look for someone you've never met? What if everything that she's been told was a ball face lie? Would you still go on with your life, because you were already in too deep? Or would you drop everything and let hell loose? What if the person that you thought you needed wasn't who you actually needed? What if the person you really needed shows up randomly? Would you be happy because the stories you were told was all lies? Or would you be mad because they stayed away for so long? I guess we'll Never Know until shit hits the fan.

It's 'Killed or be Killed' and living in New Orleans, you start to live by the 'Survival of The Fittest' mentality. Everyone's trying to make it and be something, but there's only ever room for one person to be on top. August Alsina, only 19-years-old, the hardest thing out in New Orleans, that is after his brother Mel, who was gunned down at the local corner store. No one saw anything and of course the cops never caught the perpetrator, so he's on a mission. Kill anyone who tried to stop him and find the person who took his best friend's life and make him suffer for all those years he had to. Skylar Matthews only 17 and in her last few months of school. Life gets hard when it takes a turn for the complete worse. It was unexpected, horrid and downright traumatizing, but one person knew it would happen that's why he left her a note... Will she get the Justice she deserves or will she be stuck wondering who and why forever? When you come face to face with the Devil just how far are you really willing to go? ©️2018 _jasthewriter

"You trust me?" he asked, eyes turning soft once they made contact. "Maj, I-I-" "I said do you trust me, Lucky?" he repeated, voice hard. "...yes," she breathed out, and his next words came without hesitation, sending a chill down her spine. "Then shoot."

"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021

Dylan Flanders is a good guy who seems to have it all. The perfect house, the perfect girlfriend, the good looks, the good grades, a good life with the perfect future set up for him. That's what he wants you to think at least. With his family falling apart and home life becoming increasingly more difficult, his mask is starting to crack and he's afraid of who will see the real him showing through. Presley Anderson is a beautiful girl that no one understands. She gets in trouble on the daily, she makes bad grades, and has a reputation that is completely out of control. From the outside in she just seems like a bad girl who can't get it together, but maybe there's a bit more to the story than that. With a psychotic mom and an absent father, maybe no one else can understand Dylan the way Presley could. Maybe it's a good thing that the beautiful bad girl can see through the sad good boy's mask. Maybe each other is exactly what the both of them need. *cover made by @MariamRehab* *TRIGGER WARNING contains mature content such as, but not limited to: abuse, mental disorders, drugs, alcohol, depression and self-harm*
