I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

Book 1 in the "Life in-" series Scarlett Rain Rhodes is just like every other 17 year old high school Junior. She goes to school, makes good grades, cheers on her schools squad and tries to stay out of drama. What makes her different is the fact that she is responsible for taking care of her four siblings after her parents passed in a car crash two years ago. Now her life consists of football games, doctors appointments and a whole lot of yelling. After spending two years of trying to keep every person she meets at arms length what will she do when the new guy just can't take a hint? Ashton McClain is charming, arrogant and extremely good looking. He's a perfect guy and he seems hellbent of getting to know the real Scarlett. Not the girl who smiles politely when people talk to her and remains quiet in the back of the classroom. He wants to know the girl who talks nonstop and yells obscenities at bad referees. The problem is that after two years Scarlett doesn't know if she's able to confront that side of her without completely falling apart. * This story is completed * * WON A 2019 CHICK LIT FICTION AWARD Hit 1 Million Reads (2/19/19) Hit 2 Million Reads (4/03/19) Hit 3 Million Reads (6/04/19) Hit 4 Million Reads (7/09/19) Hit 5 Million Reads (8/17/19) Hit 6 Million Reads (11/20/19) Hit 7 Million Reads (1/26/20) Hit 8 Million Reads (4/10/20) Hit 9 Million Reads (5/23/20) Hit 10 Million Reads (8/28/20) #1 in General Fiction (2/05/19) #2 in Fiction (4/10/20) #4 in Humor (1/15/19) #18 in Teen Fiction (3/05/19) #3 in ChickLit (12/22/18) #1 in Drama (4/19/20) #4 in Young Adult (3/15/19) #6 in Teen Romance (1/15/19) #1 in Football (12/ 03/18) #1 in Loss (1/03/19) #1 in Adorable (1/10/19) #19 in Romance (6/18/19) #1 in Teen Love (11/13/19)

The first thing that ruined everyone's life was the government disappearance. The moment the government disappeared and fled for safety, the illegal laws became legal in the eyes of all citizens. No president. No government. No office. No rules. The second was betrayal. Families betrayed. Friends. No more alliances. No one to trust with your life. The third was drafts. Men 18 and over were drafted into the war. All of them. Families were left alone to fend for themselves when chaos took over. The fourth was disease. Sickness. Whether it was mental, or physical, it took over everyone. Some were immune to it, others were in deep. The cause: radiation. The effect: apocalypse. The fifth was disaster. Fatal, but all natural. No one seemed to understand why at this moment in time there had to be hurricanes, tornadoes, eruptions, earthquakes, and any other fatal disaster. No way to stop it. Everyone had to fight for their lives everyday. The sixth was mourning. So many deaths. So much mourning and grief. You are forced to continue in life in order to survive. Some continue so they can survive and hopefully live peacefully afterwards. Others decide to join those they mourn. The final was post war. Some people dealt differently than others. Dead bodies were everywhere. Mourning was what stopped people from trying to clean up the mess. Some people got diseases from the pollution. The environment was bad. No one knows what they're supposed to do now. They had to reinvent everything. They had to figure out their new lives.
