Meet 14-year-old Ignatius Lim, in his fight for his dream since he was 8 for his loving brother, Jeremy Lim.
It was the year 2012. The Lim brothers were playing their favourite sport, basketball, at the spacious basketball court near their house. However, Ignatius, who was distracted by the golden-brownish-furred cat nearby, missed the ball his 11-year-old brother threw to him.
The ball bounced back to Jeremy, who was facing away from the road.
"I'll get it! I'll be back in a jiffy!" Jeremy chirped as he ran after the ball.
The ball was heading towards Cityvale Street.
"I should hurry up, my brother is waiting for me. It has been such a long time since weve had a training session, I better not waste a single second."
Jeremy dashed out. All he could see was the ball, the one thing that constituted of his and Ignatius' dream.
Ignatius sighted a white BMW driving at a high speed towards where his brother was running towards, who was ignorant of the oncoming danger.
"Wait, no, Jeremy, STOP!"
Jeremy held onto the ball, grinning while turning back his head to look at his brother. But the horn, its urgency and desperation, drew his attention.
Ignatius ran, but all he saw next was horrifying.
He heard the thump of a body, the screech of the car, and the bounce of the ball as it travelled down the street, oblivious of the trouble it had caused.
All was too late.

"Michael!" was the last thing I heard before gunshots echoed down the street. I heard mama scream before the clicking of her heels hitting the asphalt. I stood frozen as I took in the events that just took place. I was zoned out as everyone ran around in panic. I snapped out of my trance when flashing lights pulled up to the scene. There she was on the ground holding his lifeless body in the street. My face appeared calm and expressionless but my mind was racing with thoughts.

God's Field |COMPLETED|
UNDER EDITING Michigan's soccer team had once again made it to the play-offs as the returning champions. Everyone excepted them to take home the gold, but as fate would have it, they would never make it to their destination. An eighteen-wheeler collided into the bus full of Michigan's varsity soccer players. There was only one survivor, Jacob Green. Six months after the accident, Jacob now lived in Kansas. His parents were hoping to give him a fresh start, but he only fell further into grief. All he could think about is how his closest friends in the entire world were gone and he was still breathing. And for a while, that's all he thought about until his best friend, Fisher King, who had died in the accident, reappeared. Jacob couldn't seem to catch a break from the occasional panic attacks, to Coach Sanders insisting he joins the soccer team, to trying to figure out why he could sometimes see his dead best friend, and to figuring out his feelings for a girl that seemed to be caught up in it all. He didn't know how much more he could handle before he broke and it would take a girl way out of his league, a couple of cocky football players, a nagging coach and an all powerful God to help a broken boy learn the value of life again. •• #69 in OUTCAST- 2021 #32 in ATHLETE- 2021 #83 in BROKENFAMILY- 2021 #64 in JOCK- 2021 #10 in GOLDENBOY- 2022 #10 in PANICATTACKS- 2023 #24 in NERD- 2023 #8 in OUTCAST- 2023Complete

I get that public image is important to our parents but this was too much to force upon me. Mckenna and I couldn't stand being in the same room together let alone married. This is a marriage destined to fail disastrously because McKenna and I were like oil and water, fire, and ice. McKenna Thomas: I stood at the altar staring straight into the face of Caleb's younger brother, Jae. His angry brown eyes were burning holes into the veil that was obscuring my face from his view. His cold expression was causing the once pleasant air around me to turn ice cold. Tears formed in my eyes as the humiliation and pain of being left at the alter constructed a gigantic barrier around my already shattered heart. The only thing that was forcing me to go along with this sham of a marriage and to seal my fate to a ruthless Jae Yung was my daughter "Raleigh" safety and well-being. #1 KMBW #1 In Wook #2 In AMBW #2 In Shotgun Weddings #4 BWKM #13 NemesisComplete

Hidden Desire
It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia. That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in. At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?Complete
