Nora is crippled by anxiety that lurks beneath a Good Girl shell. Lucas is drowning under the weight of his rage and depression. They've been best friends since they were babies living on the same suburban street and have never needed anything but each other, until they find a new method of escape.

Gus is a poly-addict whose drug of choice is meth. He's been living on LA's infamous Skid Row for months. Being on his own is nothing new, and he's survived for years on the streets of Chicago and LA, trying to avoid being put back into foster care. But the system eventually catches up to him. When he meets Lucas and Nora at a court ordered rehab center for teens, he begins to question whether or not sobriety is possible for him... if it means confronting his past.

This story was inspired by the heroin epidemic in suburban America.

Resisting Him (Book 3 - SAMPLE) by brighteyez1610
7 parts Complete Mature
(SAMPLE ONLY - FULL BOOK COMING SOON TO AMAZON!) Jay never let anyone get close, save the few he called family but even they could only get so far. Relationships were messy, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous, but sex was simple, easy. He wasn't the kind of man anyone wanted to spend forever with, not with blood on his hands and madness in his head. Killers who loved their trade weren't made to build beautiful things, only to destroy them. So he built walls before he was even old enough to fully need them, and it kept people safe. Jay wanted no one... until three years ago when someone silently slipped inside. Alex West was impulsive and reckless, often coming off as immature and frequently obnoxious. As a Made man in the Crowe Family, he had responsibilities, but life had taught him to enjoy the moments he had been given, even when he took those moments from others. He lived for pleasure, so when the Jester came into his life three years ago, stoic and cold, barking orders and thriving on inflicted pain, he was intrigued. Jay pushed him away for three years, but Alex steadily pushed back and eventually even distractions stopped working. Then one distraction proves to have far reaching consequences, but this might be the one thing that finally makes Alex stop pushing and walk away. With a war brewing and a target on his back, can Alex stomach the painful reminders of his past when he's with Jay, or will Jay only find emptiness when he reaches for the one person who finally found him?
The A Team: A Novella by prettyoddGal
10 parts Complete Mature
I lost someone dear to me in the midst of the Heroin Epidemic hitting MA in the last 3 years that spurred me to write The A Team. It is a reference to Ed Sheeran's song. This story was my grieving process. Without it, I'd be in a maelstrom of emotions that I wouldn't know what to do with. Also, my favorite band, Fall Out Boy, has a physical copy of this story. I gave it to them this past summer at a Meet & Greet in Mansfield, MA for the Boys of Zummer tour. I'd probably bawl my eyes out if I ever hear that they read it, but I don't want to hold out too much hope. They are my second form of coping with anything, and their music gave me the drive to even write the novella. Here's the description: What does it mean to truly learn to love your life again? Rebellious, yet exceptionally intelligent, Eugenia "Janie" Cole, asks herself this every day. Its hard to do such a thing when life deals you a bad deck of cards. Addicted to pain killer, kicked out of her only home for abusing and stealing said pain killers, becoming homeless, and befriending a punk chick by the name of Nina Monroe; a music scene junkie who seems to be just as messed up as her. In the hidden back drop of Boston, Massachusetts, Janie goes in search of her spirituality through parties, drugs, and that one beautiful moment that will explain to her why darkness follows in her footsteps. Will she find it all on her own before her past comes back to haunt her?

BOOK 2 DISCLAIMER: INCLUDES GRAPHIC SEXUAL MATERIAL, DRUG USE, LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, etc. MATURE READERS ONLY (18+) *COMPLETED* I strongly suggest reading Book 1 before beginning this one for a better understanding and placement of Book 2. To think one could know another enough to begin to trust them. Life so far, has been absolutely perfect. A nice house, a good neighborhood, and a loving family. But it all begins to change in the blink of an eye. After realizing his high school sweetheart isn't the woman he thought she was, and after possessing the fear of his son sharing the same fate as him and his old friend Calvin who was assassinated by Alonzo years ago, Kyjuan realizes how deep his boat he calls life is beginning to sink. In this sequel, everyone has their dirt. From a deceitful partner to countless pleasure filled, sheet clenching occasions throughout, becoming addicted to something becomes harder to get over than anyone could've ever imagined.
