Brooklyn Yeehser has always known she was a little... off. Not in a tragic, misunderstood way-more like, uniquely fabulous with a hint of chaos. She's smart, she's bold, and lives by her favorite motto: "Might as well let them see what real looks like." No fake smiles. No apologies.
Her world? Small but solid. Her job, her bestie , her pet lizard, and a dad who tries his best. With straight A's, a tight-knit circle, Brooklyn thought she had it all figured out. Life was rough-but it was hers.
Until he shows up.
The blonde boy with the stare that cuts straight through her. The boy who shouldn't exist. The boy who feels more like a glitch in reality than someone real.
From that moment on, nothing in Brooklyn's life makes sense. Secrets unravel-dark, forbidden secrets that feel too old to belong in this world. Her past isn't what she thought it was. And neither is her future.
Caught between two lives-one she's always known and one that's been hidden from her-Brooklyn has to decide if she's brave enough to keep playing the game, or if it's already been rigged by fate itself.
Because some buttons, once pressed, can't be un-pressed.
And sometimes? The truth is the scariest level of all.

When a girl with a troubled past filled with trauma, Disfunction, and chaos surrounding her...She wonders if the world and God had forsaken her to the life that she had to endure. Moving from state to state living with one foster stranger after the other and never found a home for real. Her best impression is a soft smile and a kind wave. A loveless child that yerns for a love she never knew. If she spoke to you with a sweet voice what would you say? If you looked into her soft brown eyes and seen how broken she was...how would you feel about her? If she wore a smile like a loaded revolver, would you play Russian Roulette??? ☣️Big Bunny Warning☣️ First and foremost I am as unfiltered as it gets. I do have a strong sense of creativity and that means that I will include real life trauma, real life events that can occur such as mentions of sushicide, Sexual Assult, etc. in what I write. I will write about any and everything. If your stomach, heart, and soul can't handle what I write, respectfully push off, side step, and don't read it. I would hate to trigger anyone so you've been warned😵💫
-*| The Cursed World |*-
Just smile. Just smile, and forget it all. Just smile, and it won't hurt. *~* A world, full of hate. A world, full of racism. A world, full of sexism. This is the world Hebe lives in. This is the world Hebe has tried to make herself believe is full of good. Yet, every aspect of her life undermines this. Every day would show an outsider how twisted her world is. How cursed her world is. From family, to friends, to lovers, can she truly trust anyone? Any of them? From having grown up in a world so pressured down on one's gender and race, is there truly any hope for her? Is hiding from all of the pain; all of the abuse, really the only solution? Yes, that is the right answer. To build a wall up, to stay naive, and to hide from it all. That is her only way to stay joyful. That is her only way to remain... Sane. -- A/N: ⁃ Rated mature ⁃ Would not recommend for young children ⁃ Even though this book has been prewritten from only three months before now (May), my style of writing has changed and this version is a bit rusty ⁃ Updates every (*time*)Complete
The girl from New York
Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."

Red Volkswagen || h.s.
Westlake, South Carolina. Home to Brooklyn Callahan, the best latte maker on the east coast. Or so her mom tells her. She's lived in the mundane town with two stop lights her whole life, never needing more than the beach, her record player, and three coffees a day to counteract her terrible sleep schedule. Nothing interesting has ever happened to her and nothing ever will...that is, until one of the most famous, brown haired, green eyed nineteen year olds in the world waltzes into her work near closing and orders a black coffee. The ten minute exchange doesn't go very far, but with the whole summer ahead of him, Harry is determined to learn more about the first person he's met in a long time that didn't know his name. Brooklyn has only known quiet, and Harry has only known commotion. What happens when they show each other the sides of life they've been missing, overcome trials, and experience heartbreak, all while learning what love is in the process? EXCERPT: "I'm Harry." He says, and I only furrow my brow deeper. "Brooklyn." I say, even though I told him last night. "And I'm confused." "About what?" "You." "Already? We barely know each other yet." "Yet?" "I said I had the summer off." "...Congrats?" He laughs. "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to make the most of it in your little town you call Westlake." Now I laugh. Hard. Almost a little too hard. And now I'm embarrassed. "Sorry, I just have no idea why you would subject yourself to that." I sigh. "I'd like a little bit of nothing." He says, repeating my words from last night. "I mean I guess there's nothing wrong with that...but why are you telling me this?" His gaze averts from me to the window for a few seconds before he looks back at me and shrugs his shoulders. "Don't know. But I like you, Brooklyn, so maybe you can show me around." - every chapter is based off of a taylor swift song, but you don't have to be a fan of hers to read! <3 STARTED JANUARY 2022 COMPLETED AUGUST 2022Complete

The Moments I Recall
He looks out beyond the edge and I can't seem to pull my eyes away from him. He smiles and speaks, but I can't hear anything he says. Even so, the buzzing seems to grow quieter and quieter till it's just silence all around myself and him. I watch his mouth move as inaudible words flow from it into the air, and his hands open as he gestures while he speaks. I watch as he looks turns to look at me to be sure I am following along, and then his eyes just wait on me and his mouth stops moving. I watch him mouth my name and tilt his head to read me. There's nothing I can tell him. Nothing that wont change things, but if I keep this going things will change. "Xylia," He mouths again. ******************************************** Xylia doesn't remember any of it, she lived through it all and yet she can't remember.

This is its own book! You can ready the Bambi series for a back story but this can be read alone! "Kyrie! I'm home baby I'm sorry for missing your play! I heard it was really good and I had Ms.Rain record for me" I laugh to myself and put the bags I got away. "Kyrie?!" I yell and he didn't answer. I got done with everything I was doing and went to our room seeing him sleep in our bed peacefully. There was a note beside him and I read it feeling my heart get torn reading how he waited for me to come home. "I'm sorry baby" I whispered and kissed his soft cheek. Something dropped in the kitchen and I jumped getting startled by the sound but also panic at the fact it's only Kyrie and I here. "What the fuck?" I mumbled under my breath and grabbed my pistol from my locked draw. I stepped out the room locking the door from the inside just in case and started walking down the hall with my gun up. My foot steps where light trying not to make any noises for whoever could be in here, I made it to the end of the hall and took a deep breath before popping out from my spot ready to shoot but nobody appeared, everything was normal causing my body and mind to instantly relax. "Oh thank god" I rub my head and laugh to myself. I shook my head feeling silly walking into the living room seeing the view of New York buildings and sky scrapers through the big window feeling content with everything. I let out a deep breath and once I relaxed getting enough of looking outside I turned around and jumped, frozen in my spot not moving a limb terrified seeing a figure standing in front of me with a strong scent of weed and cologne putting their hand to my jaw dragging their cold thick thumb across my bottom lip before smirking getting closer to my face feeling their breath in my face.
