His lip curves on the left, a dark brow raising, "Are you scared?" "No." "You are." "No, I'm not." He grins, "It's okay, just trust me," he leans closer, the deep smell of his cologne surrounding me, face completely serious, "You do trust me, don't you?" ----- Slader Harris is suffering; between sleepless nights and long tiresome days, she's left feeling totally isolated and completely alone. Her Dad is hiding secrets, staying out late into the night, and leaving early in the morning. But does she have it in her to face the truth? To confront the man who's breaking her heart day in and day out? She doesn't, that is, until she meets Elio Peters. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, Elio Peters feels as if his world is tilting sideways. Until an unsuspecting loner teaches him a thing or two in orbits. Because for all of its greatness and grandeur, even earth stumbles on its axis. Now, Elio wants to return the favour, repay an unrepayable debt and maybe, just maybe, finally get the girl. #2 in YoungAdultFiction, #7 in teen fiction, #3 in Elio, #5 in FamilyAndFriends, #8 in LoveHate

"You're an asshole," I blurted. "You're such an asshole that your actual asshole is jealous." Silence. What the hell did I just say? Out of all the insults, I choose one that makes the least sense? Damn it, why couldn't I just have been born normal... Wait, never mind. Psh, screw sanity. "Can we keep her?" Tyler suddenly says, bouncing on his tippy toes. "Please, Keith? Can we keep her? Huh, huh, huh?" What am I, a pet? "Keith" whipped his head towards Tyler so fast I could've sworn I heard a crack. "Keep her?" he echoed. "No, Tyler, we can not keep her." Thank you. "She's utterly useless to us, and you want to keep her?" I gasped, placing a hand over my chest. Useless? Damn, these people are rude as hell. "But," Tyler whined, walking over to me. I tensed all over when he squished my cheeks together. "Look at how adorable she is. She's just so innocent... you'd never suspect anything bad from her." Keith expression changed, to one I knew very well from my experiences with Val. Lightbulb. "Tyler, you are a genius," Keith says. Tyler's hands stop squishing my cheeks. "I am?" "He is?!" everyone else says. Keith doesn't reply, just keeps on grinning wickedly. And suddenly I have a feeling that I am not gonna make it out of here alive. - WARNING: VERY CRINGE WORTHY MATERIAL NOW AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE http://www.lulu.com/shop/angel-zenith/the-gangleader-kidnapped-me/paperback/product-23087208.html Highest Rank: #1 in Humor April 19, 2015 CoAuthor: DreamCreature
