Unnoticed
This is a true story one that's difficult to read... a simple story that talks about some hard things. It's a story about a girl and her mind. Most of you will stop and look away now, thinking that it will be boring, and I'm not going to stop you from walking away. It's your decision. Life is full of those. Decisions, choices that we make which each change the course of our life. I recommend you read this book. It's not your typical girl meets guy story. No it has nothing to do with that, but it does show you something that I think to humanity is more important than that, and truly I am not saying this because I am the author but if you read this book I don't think that it is one of the decisions you will regret in life. It isn't easy to read, so consider it a challenge in which you have nothing to lose if you participate. So I ask you, Why not participate? " I stared into the mirror and I knew; I simply knew what I was getting into. This was my decision. The one that decided to take my joy out of life. To suck it away, and I just watched. I just watched as my soul got carried away in the wind. I watched knowing that it was all the voice's fault. The monster that raged inside of me took control, and I again just watched as I let go of my grasp on it. It broke lose with a feral scream, and so that was when chaos begun..."Complete
Billionaire Next Door✔
I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.

A [hopefully] better version will be coming soon and when it is finished and published I will link it here. Thank you and enjoy Emily's story. - Dash You know her name, now learn her story.

Now her entire life's changed. She's dealing with high school mean girls and callouts from the biggest boy band in the world and she's just trying to navigate it all as best she can.

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete

This book contains sexual assault, suicidal behaviour, drugs, alcohol and self harm. If any of these things trigger you, I advise you not to read this book. ~ "Who do you think you are?" I snap. "A very hot guy that I know you can't resist," he winks at me. Dick. "Well you got that wrong as usual," I roll my eyes at him and turn around, to walk home. "Please don't go," I hear a sad whisper behind me. Is he for real? "Stop playing these games with me. I'm not just one of your other whores that you can just have sex with whenever you feel like it. I know how you are. I know what you are," I snap at him, disgust clear in my voice. I wait for a response but I don't get one so I just turn around and leave. ~ #1 in heartbreak 10th December 2k19 #1 in college 27th March 2k19 #1 in toxic 20th July 2k19 #6 in romance 4th March 2k21Complete![[Excerpt] No More Maybes (a No More Maybes novel)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/211190986-256-k697978.jpg)
[Excerpt] No More Maybes (a No More Maybes novel)
*full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* Can you believe in someone who can't believe in himself? Maybe... Maybe I just wanted to get through Year 12, coaching, and soccer with no distractions. Maybe life had other plans. Maybe I shouldn't be drawn to Cole; the new guy who gets into fights and smokes. Maybe I should want to date Jaime; the nice, steady guy who's always been there. Maybe you can't help who you fall for, whether they're good for you or not. Maybe it shouldn't matter as long as you're happy. Maybe each new bruise on Cole's face is a reason to walk away. Maybe there's more to the secrets he hides and that's a reason to be there for him. Maybe a lifetime of pain can't be washed away by anyone else but you. Maybe finally proving that someone else isn't going to walk away is enough. Or, maybe it's time I got out of my own head and stopped wondering. Maybe it's time I just live by my own rules and find out the answers to all those maybes. It's time for no more maybes. A sweet YA romance about first love and learning to understand different experiences, this is Cole's story from Aurora's point of view. The companion novel, Gray's Blade, is from Cole's point of view; much like the characters themselves, Cole's version is darker, dirtier, and rougher. Read through to the end of No More Maybes for a sneak peek at chapter one of Cole's side. Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.Complete
