Perish by nina_louelle

They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession.

IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD by AliLivesToWrite

I live in a world that makes no sense what so ever. Kids are put in mental institutions, young children sent to juvenile detention centers, families torn apart, and the hopes of living a normal life are ruined. I never live a normal life. I was five when placed in a mental institution. Yes, I met friends there and fulfilled some what of a destiny there but I grew up isolated and then faced with war. I, now, must push through this ever changing life to either die trying to fix everything or prevail and complete all that is set before me. Now, I must find out what is real from things that are just all in my head. © 2014 All Rights Reserved

Live For It by LyEr7107

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

The Bad Boy Next Door by didiwrotethat

"What's your name?" he asked sitting down beside me. "Natalia," I said shoving my phone into my back pocket. All of a sudden he started lighting a cigarette, which made me leap out of my seat and to stand in front of him. I hate the smell of smoke. "I won't burn you sheesh." He said rolling his eyes as he took in a puff of that toxic, deadly, nasty smoke. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crushes, friends, homework, and bad boys. The basic highschoolers life. Natalia Tucker's life is nothing near basic. Read more to find out.

Finally Free by lulustoriesss

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.

Fragments of a Dissociative Universe by Frederic_Y

This isn't a story about rebellion. It's a story about survival. Born into a fractured world, my life was a blueprint for chaos. By fifteen, I was a veteran of two wars: one against a school system that punished my intelligence, and another against the ghosts of my own past. They called me a lost cause, but I was just a kid the world had given up on. I found a twisted refuge in the gritty, unpredictable pulse of 1990s Montreal. The punk scene, the drugs, the streets-it was all a way to trade a reality I couldn't bear for a chaos I could control. Survival became a reflex, a daily dance with destruction just to feel alive. Now, after years of walking through the same fire, the question remains: how far do you have to go before survival stops being enough? This is my map of a broken world. The testament of a boy who got lost, and the man still learning to live without a war. This is not about seeking hope. It's about becoming the storm.
