Viva Gonzalez-Bonnet was a direct contradiction to her namesake. Named the Spanish word for 'live' by her father, Viva's parents both desperately hoped that she would defeat the paradox. Born premature, the baby girl spent a month in the hospital, the doctors questioning each evening whether she would make it through the night. By some miracle, Viva woke each morning, answering the question of her own survival. But that was only the first time she defeated death.
The second case of bad news came when Viva was 13 and doctors told her she was genetically predisposed to cancer. Now, at eighteen and a high school graduate, she sets out to 13 locations across the world after studying their own traditions of death intending to find her funeral.

Raising the Villain's Daughter Book 1
Up until a sudden tragic death, Vivian lived a less-than-ideal life in our modern world. After her demise, she's transported inside the last book she read. The worst part about all of it is that not only is she just a side character, but she's also the daughter of the book's villain. Why is this a bad thing? Because the villain kills his very own daughter on her eighteenth birthday. Born into having prior knowledge of everything except for her previous life's name, she's stuck in an infant's body with an adult's mind. Vivian must figure out how to change her fate as the hourglass counts down to her death. Follow Vivan as she learns what it means to feel loss, betrayal, familial devotion, and maybe even have a chance at love. This novella is part of an intended duology. Book two will be posted as a whole once completed. Book one has romance elements, but book two is where the romance will primarily take place. Book one is intended to set up the worldbuilding and plot for book two. Trigger warnings: Mention of prostitution, death, torture, graphic violence, sexual assaultComplete

This novel was literally written in 4 months when I was at the age of 14 trying to overcome my obsession with the fault in our stars (yes, I used to read the book at a bare minimum of 3 times per week, if not once daily). I decided to write my own version of it and as you can see, it turned out like this. If you choose to read it and find it silly that is because it's written by a 14-year old. So, please don't write hate comments or anything. Thank you all, have a nice time reading it!Complete

I'll Love You Till the End
So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.Complete
