"What if I told you that I want to be with you?" She asked me, her dark brown eyes boring into mine.

"Then you'd be making a huge mistake," I stated bluntly.

"I make plenty of mistakes, Jupiter, but you're not one of them." 

_________________________________

Eighteen year old Jupiter 'Rebel' McKenna is three things: reckless, sarcastic and stubborn, and also happens to have a thing for fire. But after the horrific tragedy of her family's death, she realises that maybe fire isn't such a good thing anymore. Especially not after her lighter was found at the scene. 

Jupiter is forced to move in with an aunt she's never heard of, in a town the size of a peanut with somebody who wants the world to know her secret, somebody she thought she could trust. But it seems like Jupiter isn't the only one keeping secrets around here, Jupiter's aunt is hiding something, so is her best friend and the cute firecracker she met on the rooftop. 

So what is everyone hiding? and what will happen when the secrets start coming out?

There's only one thing Jupiter is sure of: fire, secrets, love and heartache don't leave much room for a happy ending... or does it?All Rights Reserved

DILLON'S P.O.V "Sweet dreams, Ariana." I whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder. "And just remember, I mark off those who are dead to me. Who no longer have a place in my cold heart...you are not leaving any time soon." **** ARIANA'S P.O.V The drinks affects seemed to be like a blanket. I felt squished in my own skin, my consciousness ebbing away but my limbs still moving, although barely holding me up. I was mentally dragged down as distant pulses entered my ears, my feet sliding across the table in succession to the dancing everyone was encouraging me to do. My eyes swivelled around as the scent of alcohol wafted closer to me, many hands shoving, pulling and gripping at me. I needed air that wasn't tainted with sweat and rotten with beer, but the more I unconsciously danced, the more I didn't care about anything. **** Peer Pressure! Restrictions! Betrayal! Gossip! Abuse! That list might be Ariana Coopers' biggest problems in school, but the outside world is a whole different story. Unraveling Aria's past and digging deeper into the truth is the only way she can find out who she truly is. That's not necessarily a good thing...or a bad thing. **** 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗮 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝗿𝗲-𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻! Volume. One in the Deeper Chronicles © Copyright

Finding Obsidian by RavensFlyAway

He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years? Short and full of fiery spirit, Hanna Jordan is a gifted college student who is enrolled in one of the most prestigious culinary programs in the country.

Despite their differences, both are haunted by dark memories of the past, which form a poisonous bond between Hanna and Rian that neither can escape from. Can they both heal from the scars time left behind, and find love in the process?

The Best Kind of Betrayal by scout245

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

The Reason by KBMallion

It's always been Rex Ford. I've always loved him. I think I always will. Sometimes though, you have to walk away from those that you love, because of the love that you feel for them. When you truly love someone, you'll protect them and not yourself. So I did. No explanation. No reason. I just walked. I knew that Rex would never understand my reasons, or understand that I did it because I cared more about his feelings, than I did my own. I walked away from our relationship because I couldn't burden him with something so awful from my past, and I'd do it again in a painful heartbeat. My secret very nearly destroyed me. I couldn't ever let it destroy Rex. Now nine years on, I'm faced once again with the man that I deeply loved, who I will always deeply love. A twisted turn of fate has thrown us back together, and I know he's not happy about it. Rex used to look at me with only love in his eyes; now he looks at me with only hate and confusion. That hurts more than I can ever say. Hurts more than I can ever let him know. For Rex still can't know nothing. He can't ever know my secret, and he must never know THE REASON. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** THE REASON Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2017 K B Mallion All rights reserved
