Candace Noble was taken away from her mother at the age of five. After a public display of child abuse, Candace was placed in the care of her doting aunt, never having any significant contact with her birth parents afterwards.

Fearing the vicious cycle of abuse, she wonders what she should do and who she should turn to. However, all cycles have an end. The question is: who can break them?

They weren't supposed to survive her. But they did. In a crumbling South Side apartment, eight Whitman siblings hold each other together while everything else falls apart. Their mother, Sylvia, is a storm of neglect, rage, and addiction. Their father is a ghost. And their home? It's less a house and more a battleground. Adeline Whitman, twenty and barely holding it together, becomes mother by default - protector, provider, and punching bag. But when Sylvia spirals out of control and the system threatens to break the family apart, Adeline makes a choice: she's done surviving. Now she's fighting. As each sibling battles their own demons - Rory's temper, Lily's growing addiction, Sophie's quiet grief, Leah's walls, Tessa's fear, Alyssa's innocence - they cling to each other and to the few people who actually give a damn, including the chaotic, loyal Gallagher family down the street. This isn't a story about perfect kids overcoming adversity. This is about kids who were never given a chance - choosing to stay anyway. To love each other anyway. To fight like hell anyway.Complete
BulletProof {Being Rewritten}
Bulletproof: There is no better hell than high school. A time to live or die. A time to make or break your future. For Maria she had to survive same went for Sophia, Raymond and Jackson. But for Anya, Max, Noah living was the last thing they wanted to do. Life had taken its toll on these seven teenagers and it seems like fate was finally done with them. Embark on this short but saddening journey of how these seven teenagers deal with their life choices and home situations. Warning: BulletProof is a short story, meaning the book won't have more than twenty official chapters. BulletProof is also not edited which means I have not and will not get around to fixing the minor mistakes. For those of you who may or may not care, BulletProof is also not meant to cause TRIGGERS but this is a TRIGGER WARNING! There will be self harm, rape, cursing and so much more. And lastly, BulletProof is not meant to make people cry nor is it meant to have a happy ending. If you read, don't expect some godly miracle where everyone falls for each other and stays alive. It doesn't always work out that way. Now, this book is being rewritten as of October 12th 2018 - months after (possibly even a year) it was made and finished so bare with me if you are a new reader! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!Complete

Pregnant By The Joc
He is not saying what I think he is? "Cobi, did you get me pregnant on purpose?" He has the nerve to look contrite for a moment before it goes away, and he nods his head. "Damn right." I look at him, shocked and speechless. He says nothing. He simply leans over and kisses me slightly before pulling back and looking at me. "I had to make sure I could keep you, angel." I blink a few times trying to figure out what the hell he is talking about. "Keep me?" I whisper still not sure what he is telling me. "Yes. Forever, baby. You have consumed me from the moment I saw you again. You ran from me, put up roadblocks and ignored me and all it did was make me want you more. When I think of my future angel, all I see for sure is you, me and a family. Everything else is a maybe, but us, is certain." SHORT STORY..LONG CHAPTERS AHEAD..!Complete
