The story of a girl who grows up with an alcoholic for a father, only to marry an alcoholic for a husband.
~~~~~
The walk to the school would be fifteen minutes, on a good day. Today, however, I managed to get there in seven. As soon as I walked onto the property, I could hear the nonsense ramblings spewing from my husband's mouth.
"He's my son! You are holding him hostage!" He yells - his words slurring together, almost making them unintelligible. Luckily for me, I have heard him like this many, many times throughout my life and can understand him clearly.
"Michael?" I call out to him and he turns his head slowly in my direction. He stumbles a little as he walks towards me, placing a hand on my left shoulder.
"Ella? Love, they won't give me our son. I got here on time like you told me. I remembered! See! I got here, but they won't give him to me. They are keeping him away from me." He turns, his face getting angry. "Give me back my son, you bastards!"
"Michael, that's enough." I say firmly, trying to make my hands stop shaking. "You're drunk. They couldn't give you Tyler like this. You aren't fit-"
"Not fit? Not fit? I am capable of taking care of our son, Ella." He spits, literally, into my face.

~COMPLETED~ *DISCLAIMER: Now, this is just a fanfiction. I don't think any of this would really happen in real life. The main character, Mia, is portrayed to be a bit psycho, so bare with me.* "Harry." I sigh, still freaking out. "Now, you don't know some things about me.. Some bad things." "What?" He's starting to get angry. "When I was a teenager.. I was stupid, okay?" I start to cry. "I was into drugs, I was an alcoholic.. I sliced my wrists everyday because the pain became so unbearable." Karen watches me tell this story. She's the only one who knows my story other than my mom. "I was into parties, I was practically a slut. As if." I sob, remembering every detail. "I would go to parties, get drunk, get high. Then, I would go somewhere with this guy Josh. "We were dating or whatever, but he was also my drug dealer. I owed him money, lots of it. But since we were dating, he said it was fine. Well, we broke up and disappeared. "I got sober, I checked into rehab. When I came out, not even a month later, I met you. I was so scared that I was going to fall back into my habits. That's why whenever we went to parties ourselves, I wouldn't drink alcohol." "So.. You lied to me about your whole life?" He asks. "I didn't want you to think different of me. And now he's after me! He's got Karen and now he's coming to get me!" I sob even harder.Complete
The Fashion Designer
Sitting down on the soft king size mattress I ran my fingers threw my hair in frustration and undo the first two of my buttons while removing my tie when a very angry Dana stood in front of me. Her hands on her hips, "What the hell Michael." I raised my head to look up at her. "How could you? At my wedding. You humiliated me." Standing up I pulled her closer to me, "I'm sorry." Is all I could muster. "You're sorry! You called another woman's name at our wedding, and not just any woman my sister and all you could say is your sorry." What else is there to say. "Tell me Michael did you sleep with her." Her question baffled me. How was I to answer. My face probably had guilt written all over. "Michael, you did!" I didn't answer and she took that as a yes. "At least deny it please." Her sobs only made me feel regret. "Hit me, punch me, slap me I don't care. I deserve it." Dana took that opportunity to throw slap after slap when she suddenly flinch. "Is that..." Slowly she pulled back my collar, "Take it off." "What?" "Your clothes off now." In a haste Dana removed my clothes only to find evidence planted on my chest and neck. Scratches and bite marks. "You, had sex during our wedding." I could hear the shocking gasps in her voice. "Tell me Michael, when, was it before or during." I couldn't lie to her I didn't want to lie to her, "Before and during." I answered truthfully. "Michael Black, how could you. How long." "How long what?" "How long have you been sleeping with my sister." **************Warning for mature audience only*******************Complete

When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book!
