****ALL CREDITS TO JAMES BOWEN****

         I decided to read the books after seeing the film. It was interesting to see how they changed things in the book and how one sentence in the book could turn into a whole bit of storyline in the film that isn't there in the book. Bowen is to be commended on bringing the issue of homelessness and drugs to a mass audience in such a sympathetic and engaging way. He could have written one long whine about how it went wrong and people didn't give him a chance but it is more like a fantastic tribute to the power of pets and one cat in particular to change a life. It is also wonderful to read about the fabulous people he met and how they helped him when he was in desperate need - it really helps restore your faith in humanity. He doesn't mince his words about some idiots he also came across but the kindness of others was moving.Public Domain

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

I was use to be alone, listening a music on my earphones that make me dance on it, as a ballet dancer music is our drug to be high, and that was, way back ten years ago. Life for me is like a lake of water clam, peace and warm. Until the old tradition of family reveled to the youngsters like me, even my brother get surprised on, and it was the reason my life start to change, if I'm in the school a group of students bully me because of the man the old people of the family arrange as my future partner. What if in this new life I started, I meet him back, and the change is way far, from hate and now he is always at my way, trying to had me? Should I run away again or letting my self being falling by him? What if he does what he do way back then? ( James Brown) I found him again he change, the change that make me not to recognize him on my eyes, but my heart is know him so much event of the changes. The mark I made from the old days is never been seen on him, at first I learned about him, I'm still confused of my feeling, instead of showing him my good side of me, but I end up of letting him see my bad side. Now I see him again, but his completely different, even people beside him is different from before. What if he had someone now? What if he doesn't want me because he want that someone else? Should I use my everything just to had him, or just let him be happy on someone else? ( Jake Martin)

Kai's History by EnderLeal2

[Finished] This is where all the timelines from 'That Homeless Boy' series link together as a form of one single timeline from Kai's perspective. If you haven't noticed, all of my books starting with 'In Need of' are connected by the name of a boy called Kai, these books are all part of a series called 'That Homeless Boy'. In this book, you shall find his whole life written in here in only his perspective. I would advise you to read the other books first. This book just sums them all up into a nicer timeline which might clear up some questions you might have after reading the other books. The order of the books is said in their blurbs. But I'll put it here too: 1) In Need of You 2) In Need of Him 3) In Need of Love 4) In Need of Change ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, here we are. My diary thing. Here, I'm going to pour my whole life out onto these pages. This book will probably know more about me than any other person that knows me. This is my story, my life. My tragic life but with a happy ending. I've caused bad luck to people in my life without knowing but many of them are happier than before. So, I don't think I would take back the sh*t that's happened to me. Don't worry, you'll find out about the sh*t soon enough. Do be beware that my life was quite the ride and some might think of it as excessive. But hey, that's the life I got. So, I now welcome you to my life. I'll try to explain everything as well as memory holds. But I only know my side of the story. Perhaps the others have done this sort of thing too. Anyway, I'll start off by when I was a child... (In the book, swearing will not be censored.)

True Love/ Raura by lovinraura_

A/N, Warning: this book is so old and I made it when I didn't know how to write properly, so it's kind of ridiculous and not logical. There's grammar mistakes and stupid lines and this isn't my writing anymore!!! I've grown out of it and you can check out my most recent books if you want something good to read. If you wanna read this too that's fine, but don't be surprised at the amount of cringey ridiculousness in it. Proceed!💗 The hockey player and the cheerleader . Now from the movies and books you've read, you'd think that this would be the 'IT' couple but if you told them this ,they'd think you're crazy. He was hot ,he was cute and maybe even sweet sometimes but he was also a player ,a jerk ,the one boy at your high school that you call the typical "Bad boy ". Laura on the other hand was popular but she was very sweet .Her popularity and reputation on being a cheerleader, didn't stop her from being nice to everyone.She was that social butterfly. So they were opposites .In some ways at least .Why did they hate each other? Well it had to do with a little incident when they were only 5 .The day they first meet.They now have that sexual tension and the fact that they were both hot didn't help . They also have quite a history with each other from their family's being friends AND hanging out in the same friend group (which leaded to ALOT of teasing from friends )but the one thing they didn't know was that ,they would make a whole lot more history .The history of their lives . ...Read and find out how two enemies fall in love......Sexual tension? Yes. Cliche ? 100% . Romance ? You know it.You might want to seat down for this ;) ~~~~ If you're going to check out this book I'd suggest you also read my other book The Moon and The Sun as well! It's definitely an upgrade from this one :) -- COMPLETE ✓

Remember This✔ by autumnskiess

Molly has never felt safe. For four years she has lived in constant fear that the serial killer that murdered her family is coming for her. She has been moved around the country continuously, dropped off with a new foster family every couple of months that are too out of their depth to deal with her. When she is relocated back to California at seventeen, Molly has nothing left to live for. Believing that suicide is her only option, Molly makes the brave decision to end it all one fateful night . She had the perfect plan; nothing was supposed to go wrong. Just one choice, one jump, and she'd be with her family again. Charlie has never had to consider his own empathy towards strangers. He's arrogant, selfish and becomes unbearably irritated with other people's problems. But when he sees Molly standing on the edge of the bridge and ignores every part of himself that wants to walk away, something awakens inside of him that he never realized was there. Saving her was just the beginning. The two are thrown together in a world-wind friendship of hope, healing and passion as they endure the temptation of love and the danger of a sadistic killer that isn't willing to let Molly go.

The Thrill of It All | ✓ by hannahlizwrites

A prequel to the screenplay, "The Blue Herring", written by myself in 2018. However, this short story can also stand on its own. (I recommend reading the screenplay first.) ---------------------------------------------------- 18 y/o Lionel Enright, having recently graduated as Valedictorian of his high school class, is self-considered a misfit of sorts. However, he has never been let down by his incredible intellect. Others know this as well--including the members of his town's skillfully concealed criminal alliance, Decadent. Being a young, clever lad whose name is scarcely known in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, he is the perfect contender for induction. In other words, their ideal new recruit. For all of his life, Lionel has never been a trouble-maker; not once a delinquent, a hot-head, or a player of any kind. However, Decadent has been known to change people--to change their paradigm and how they view themselves and the world around them. It has also been known that after a while, those members who were hesitant will no longer want to leave. In other words, as time carries on, they eventually come to enjoy the thrill of it all.
