Hey guys! This is a short story I wrote for my English class that got entered into a competition, and I'm one of the winners- that means I'm getting published in a huge book with all the other winners. Anyway, enjoy!
--
Told from five different unique perspectives, this story depicts the events- and aftermath- of the Pulse nightclub shooting, particularly the life and death of a young boy named Caleb Santiago who died protecting several people within the club. As Caleb's mother goes through the five stages of grief alongside the personifications of each of the stages, she learns to accept her son and move on with her life.

NOTE: One of the requirements was that this story was based on an article describing a real life event. This story is based off of an article about one of the victims who was shot several times while using his body to shield others from the bullets. The link to that article is here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4411774/Report-reveals-new-details-Florida-nightclub-shooting.html#ixzz4wijPtfx6 My story is a fictional view of a very real event, and all characters mentioned in the story are entirely fictional.

Blue Lock x Princess! Reader
You're the only daughter (and princess) of a notorious royal family in Japan, and ever since you were a little girl, you've loved soccer/football with all your heart! Playing the sport has been your passion for as long as you can remember, but your family hasn't been supportive. Your father and older brother always dismissed it as a "man's sport," refusing to let you play, while your mother constantly tried to push you toward more "girly" hobbies. But you never gave up. Soccer/Football was your dream, and no one could take that away from you. You practiced in secret, joined soccer/football clubs, and honed your skills despite the odds. One day, a strange letter arrives by the guards addressed to your brother, inviting him to a mysterious all-boys soccer/football facility called Blue Lock. Seeing this as your chance to prove yourself, you make a bold decision: disguise yourself as your brother and enter the program. In a place where only one dream can matter, you'll stop at nothing to chase yours. (Now, I don't want to tell young audiences that they can't read this (because even if I did, they probably wouldn't listen and read it anyway). So, young audiences, you can read this, but I will put up disclaimers in chapters that have inappropriate content in them! So, if you want to skip over them, feel free to do so. I own none of these characters and all rights of Blue Lock go to Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Yusuke Nomura, and whoever made the wallpaper/poster I used for the cover of this book, it belongs to them, not me! And any images/GIFs I use go to their rightful owners! If I make any spelling mistakes or any mistakes in general, comment and just let me know! Also just comment in general if you'd like. I love to laugh)!

Andrea said looking at my hand I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere. I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling. My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn. Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face "Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.." She was something else So pure and caring My eyes lifted to see Ando He had a expression I couldn't decipher His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not.

Lonely Lost & Found
DISCLAIMER: In almost ALL chapters- Self Harm, suicidal thoughts, mental illness, smut...If any of this bothers you, be careful reading it please. Alex, a lonely 17 year old with a heart problem and a lot of anxiety is hated by nearly everyone in his school. It was stupid, he knew that, but his anxiety and depression told him otherwise. Told him that he deserved to be hated, truly. He still longed for a friend though. He'd heard a rumor about some stupid party that any other time, he wouldn't be interested in. However, for the sake of at least attempting to find a friend, he went, and he didn't regret going when a nice black and blonde haired boy struck up a conversation, and life was a crazy roller coaster ever since with the future completely unknown. A/N; I don't own Jack or Alex or All Time Low or anyone affiliated, I just like to write stories and use their faces and bits of their personalities in these writings. This is entirely fictional and my own writing. I also don't know exactly where I'm taking this story, but I'll be thinking of new ideas as they come to me and writing them out. PLEASE send me suggestions and feedback!Complete

This story that I'm posting is going to be a comic book down the road, but I'm just putting some of the rough draft out to get some eyes on my story!!! It's an Action/Adventure Following a young African American male, dealing with the problems of his mother that is originally not from Earth, being tracked by his mother's people he will be facing the trials and the repercussion of his mother's actions. If I could give it a content rating I would most definitely say R-rated. Ps: Ps: the way I wrote the story and the way it is formatted is a way as if you're reading a comic book, just without the panels. Hope y'all enjoy.

"You don't like it rough?" he asks me. Oh, okay, I smirk back at him, two can play this game. "I like it... but only during sex, " I say to him watching as his smirk drops and eyes widen just for a split second. "What? Didn't expect that?" I ask putting on extra sweetness to my tone. I move closer to him, going on my tiptoes so my lips are just barely grazing his ear. "But usually I like to be the one doing the pulling, " I whisper to him and brush my fingers through the hair at the back of his head and yank, hard. He hisses and I let go laughing. ------------- Axel is a 21 years old creative arts student that struggles with love. Love is a foreign word to him. He never felt it before neither received it.

The Captains Kisses| (#Wattys2016) ✔️
I wrote this when I was younger. It's when I first started writing mature scenes so it's a tad cringy and super rushed. Just to warn you. In Ivory Jenkins senior year, she wants to commit herself to soccer. She had dreamt of this since she was the age of five. The only thing that kept her from playing soccer, was her parents. What they didn't know is that she has been making money to pay to play for a club team. Scouts have already seen her but want to see her play for her school, which means she can no longer play soccer behind her parents back. They had money, they were set but definitely far from rich. She has to maintain a 4.0 GPA, which means, no parties, no boyfriends, and no soccer. Ivory finally gets her parents to agree to let her try out for the team. Ivory has until February to get herself ready for tryouts. So she did the only thing she could think of. She asked the captain of the boys soccer team to train her. Ryder Stevens. The captain of the soccer team. He has money, looks, and girls. Well, he isn't the player of the school if that's what you're thinking. He has relationships but doesn't sleep around. He doesn't like full commitment. That all changes when Ivory walks into his life. *TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL BE IN CERTAIN SPOTS OF THE STORY* *SEXUAL CONTENT*Complete
