Norman Patterson believes that the world is against him. Why wouldn't he, when his brother's demeaning and abusive comments keep him awake at night, ravaging his mind?

With his unique, hardly appropriate survival skills and damaged self-esteem, the largely self-absorbed, sometimes clueless man, sets on a mission to prove to the world that he can find love, no matter the cost.

It appears there's no one more suitable for the job than the woman he simply cannot stop thinking about.




NB

'Beneath The Surface' explores the effects of child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and low self-worth. While I might throw in some form of humor to lighten the mood, none of these issues should be taken lightly. 

🚫 Trigger warning; Some scenes portray abuse, violence, and self-harm.

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

The Handcuff Game by chmary23

Her best friend disappeared without a trace. She's handcuffed to a world-class jerk without a key. And something just isn't right about how it all happened. Reed Parker is normal, but she's losing it. Though, what exactly she's losing isn't quite clear. She's temperamental, closed-off and in a 3-year war with the IT boy. But what happens when two enemies are mysteriously cuffed together and the culprit disappears without a trace? Will the two be able to find balance, or will their day-to-days become living nightmares forever? **Completed** Written: 2013 Rewritten: 2020

Beneath the Surface by hiddenheartswrite

**"Beneath the Surface"** tells the story of Adrien Reed, a wealthy new student from France who quickly becomes popular at his new American school.

Their first meeting is filled with tension, but as they continue to cross paths, they realize there's more to each other than meets the eye. Amidst misunderstandings, late-night conversations, and unexpected moments, sparks begin to fly-if only they can break through the walls they've built.

Life After Death by h1gh_3nough

"I hate everyone." "Except me, right?" "No, especially you." ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ It's funny, isn't it? That when the whole world decides to become infected with a brutal and fatal virus, the real monsters are the ones still alive? Blake Finnegan lost most of his life before the apocalypse anyway. So for him, it's no problem. But can a group of four just as tormented teenagers change his perspective? ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ "Genies grant three." "I'll take three." I shrug. "Two." He bargains. "Three." I say sterner. "One." He couldn't look any more relaxed. I almost take up his earlier offer on two. Almost. I'm still too stubborn. "Five." I cross my own arms, covered in dirt. "I-" He stutters, "You're going backwards."

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
