It's been 273 days since I said goodbye to her. It's been 156 days since she didn't come home after a party at Jamie Lewis' house. It's been 105 days since the police stopped searching and the school held a memorial in her honor.  It's been 104 days since everyone went about their lives. The janitor cleaned out her locker to give to some new kid. Her spot in the parking lot was taken over by a Sophomore who thinks his 1987 Chevy Corsa is actually a sports car. 104 days ago, the world forgot about Olivia Forester. But I didn't.

USER SERIES 1 Micah Rex: He's handsome, dangerous, reckless. An addict. When he walks into a room, people notice. People are scared of him, people don't look him in the eye. AJ Ferro: She's cute, nice respectful. A helper. When she walks in a room, people usually get flowers. People love her, people want to be her friend. Despite her cheery nature and soft words AJ has never had it easy when it came to addiction -or depression. Without his addiction, sadness and anger Micah doesn't know who he is -and he hates not knowing things. And, of all places, they meet at a rehab center. He looked at her and saw a peppy girl with no future. She looked at him and saw a troubled boy with a bad past. Micah wants to die, AJ wants him to live. It's only a matter of time before one of them breaks through or breaks the other. - I was 12 the first time I took a hit off a joint at a party, smoked a blunt by myself and bought a bong. I was 13 when I started drinking alcohol for fun. 14 the first time I took ecstasy at a college party I snuck into, the same age I lost my virginity. This was the first time I went to a mental institution because it's also the year I first tried to kill myself. 15 the first time I smoked meth, took a bump of cocaine, shot myself up with heroine. This was the first time I got sent to rehab, it didn't work and I came out worse. I was 16 when I tried to commit three times in the same year, the last time I got my heart to stop for 30 seconds. That year was also the first time I snorted Hydrocodone, getting me started in opiates, I experimented with Xanax and liked it. And I was a month from 17 when I got sober. - "Fuck you." I snap. "You already have." Micah bites out. "And I'm pretty fucking sure you liked it too, if your orgasms were anything to go by." - "I want-" Micah stopped, running his fingers through his hair. "Never mind what I want. What do you want?" His voice is quieter now, more gentle. "You."

"Catch me if you can" Matilda Colombo had been running her entire life, until it all came to a crashing ending. Being caught was not her thing, and everyone knew it, or so they thought that they did. Living in the unsafe outskirts of Los Angeles, which is known for making stars in Hollywood, lives Matilda Colombo. But none of this matters, when 6 brothers catch her stealing from a nearby stall. She knew, immediately, that they did not fit in, so she ran. She ran, thinking she had outsmarted them, but that all comes to an end, when she gets caught, and people start confessing to her. "You think you can run your whole life? Well, little sister, I've played your game before, and you can't outsmart the winner" But when things take an unexpected turn, can she runaway, when there is more people depending on her to be good, rather than bad? Does she understand that people are expecting her to throw her entire life away, what she has known for 16, almost 17 years, is about to vanish from her clutch and she has no idea how to explain that pretty dresses and high heels isn't something for her. "Yell and scream in my face, call me all the names you want, throw me out, but remember this, you can't change me. No one can change me. This is the person I am, and if you don't like it, let me know, and I'll walk out the door, right here, right now" These boys think they know everything about girls, having slept with half of New York, that they think a 16 year old girl, will be who they are after. They think winning people is the aim of the game. That people need to follow them, but what happens when someone sticks out, and won't commit to their plan? "You don't know me! You don't know a single thing about me and that doesn't bother you! You only care about yourself, and that's fine, but stop pretending to care about me" --------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 18.06.24 Finished:

A brother and a sister. One is the captain of the hockey team in a small town while the other aspires to be the best figure skater out there. But what happens when they cross paths after a year of being apart, and everything has changed. One doesn't want to be seen by the other, rather wanting to leave the small town for bigger opportunities and the other has lost their aspirations to be the best figure skater, rather wanting to be on the ice hockey team. Everyone thought that nothing could come between the two of them, but maybe there is more to their story. Maybe they both have secrets they have been hiding for so long that they don't even know the truth. But what happens if it isn't all about how they have changed and grown apart and that someone else was involved? No one knows the truth, but maybe by adding the bad boy's, The Armani's, to the table will bring someone down, or someone else up. Just bring the grandchildren of a designer together and see what happens. See who breaks first. See who messes with the Lauren's first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know who you are anymore" "I trusted you. I trusted that you wouldn't do that to me but you did it anyways" "I'm not the good girl you left behind for your hockey team. People change, Aiden. I've changed and so have you" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW* some themes and words may be distressing for some* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 30.10.22 Finished: Rankings:

There are many questions in the universe. Some are answered within seconds, others take longer. Some are never answered. Some are hard to answer. Some are impossible. Some just rely on opinion. Others on experience. But there are questions that are a mix. Questions based on experience, feelings, thoughts, facts and opinions. This is one of those questions. This is a question that nobody knows the true answer to, but they answer it anyway. Do you believe in love at first sight?
