Seventeen year old Rena Klein hasn't had the best life, a drug addicted mother, no father, bullies, and younger sister to look after. No one knows her struggles until one day they are brought to the light. 

Story inspired by song "Blackbird" by Nina Simone. 

Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

No place big enough for holding
All the tears you're gonna cry
Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"
And your daddy's name was "Pain"

And they call you "Little Sorrow"
Cause you'll never love again

So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold you
You ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand, dear
Nobody wants you anywhereAll Rights Reserved

Nina agrees to a 'friend' to venture into a new world to distract herself from reality but finds herself remembering dreams, as well as nightmares, she's had in the past. She meets familiar faces along the way, as well as ones she must get rid of permanently. But will that happen? Understand the world of one that lives it differently by exploring with Nina what she sees and what this world entails for her. Will it be pretty? Will it be gruesome? Will she learn something?

The Love We Left Behind by TheAmaraChronicles

"I could never get her out of my head, no matter how hard I tried. I could never move on with my life. I fought, and I fought, but it was pointless. She was ingrained in my mind and soul, and I despised her for it. Lexi Black was the bane of my existence, and I wasn't going to rest until I ruined hers." After a tragic accident tears them apart, Lexi and Carson become estranged. Having been best friends for almost all their lives doesn't seem to matter to Carson as he leaves her behind without looking back. Struggling with her new reality and unable to move on from the loss that shook her to her core, Lexi turns back to her small town. Caring for a sick mother and working a dead-end job seems to be all that life has in store for her until he reappears. 7 years later, Carson is back in town, determined to ruin Lexi's life like she destroyed his. Secrets come to light, and confessions threaten to decimate whatever is left or their relationship when Lexi decides that there is no going back. Some mistakes can not be fixed, and hearts can not be unbroken. *A small town, friends to enemies to lovers love story that paints grief through love in a whole different light.*

Second by Dzaxxe

I felt my mind drifting back to Xavier, what on eath had happened to him. As I climbed upon the ledge I found myself speed dialling Cole. He answered on the first ring. "Remember, like a year ago, we were talking about death, existential crisis and whatnot and I was unable to give you an answer as to what death is like for me?" He hummed along. It was always so easy to talk to him, I would miss that. "I think death is freedom. From the burdens and struggles from life. Death isn't giving up, its simply surrendering to the inevitable." "I get where you're coming from," he continued. "Death is simply a factor of life, part of its cycle if you will. But we also have to live everyday like it is our last. We owe it to them at least, the gods, for giving us life." **** Formerly 'Second choice' the story follows the life of a girl battling with life. A story written by me as my lockdown project more or less, based on things I had read and seen in the news and in life. It is purely a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

Breaking free (GxG) by worldchange97

My name is Brooklyn Robert. I'm 17, head cheerleader since my freshman year, I have fair grades and people always compliment me on my looks even though I see myself as completely ordinary. I have to admit that my life includes indeniable advantages. My mother, Laurence Robert - pronounced in French s'il vous plaît - is a worldwide renowned fashion designer, meaning that I have quite a lot of pocket money along with a huge property to my disposal. For a teenager who just gets started in life, those assets may lead one to believe that I have all the tools to be happy and successful. But I'm not. I reached the bottom so fast and so hard that I couldn't see a way out. I was trapped in a dark hole with no issue. I was so tired that my only desire was to end it. I wanted it so bad that I swallowed two bottles of sleeping pills and I let myself be taken away by that haunting darkness. But it didn't work. I'm still here, alive and ready to die. #1 sexualorientation #2 suffering #11 girlxgirl __________________________ [Explicit content.
