Paranoia plagues Matthew among other things. Life had been looking up since he moved in with his younger brother and father. But something has been watching and the nagging voice saying to be weary turns into panic at everything. Convinced it's all in his head, he hides it all. Except soon his brother, a ray of sunshine and enthusiasm, shows the same weariness. And his father becomes distant and so cold unlike the affectionate man he truly is. Paranoia really does make a fool out of who you truly are doesn't it.

Hi! Most of these will be written in a one shot like manner, and mostly non-linear in the story line. Maybe one day I'll come up with a cohesive writing style, just no today.

Collin is lost, in more ways than one. He doesn't know where he is, who he is, or what the word "reality" even means anymore. All he knows is that he's alone. He's alone. And he can do nothing to stop it. Trigger warning: the whole book is essentially someone being mentally tortured, so lots of mentally icky stuff. Allusions to self-harm/suicide. Paranoid and/or schizophrenic episodes. (I'm not as knowledgeable on schizophrenia as I am on paranoia, so take that with a large grain of salt) (Part of the MC chronicles -can be read in any order) ~~~~~ ~(_-_)~ Cover is a drawing that I didComplete

I will kill for her (COMPLETE ✅)
"What do you want, Matteo? What exactly could you want from me?" I asked honestly. I couldn't keep pretending like this wasn't tearing me apart. It felt like he was toying with me, pulling me back into his world where nothing ever made sense. His expression softened for a second. His blue eyes met mine, full of this strange intensity I couldn't ignore. I swear, it was like they were staring straight through me, but not in the cold, distant way. No, this was different.

Lilah
She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
