My life was good. Some might call it great. People would say I had the perfect boyfriend, good grades, a happy family. Yea sure, my life wasn't as awful as some other poor souls, but it wasn't as perfect as everyone might have thought. There was two problems...
1. My perfect boyfriend "Danny"... Wasn't perfect. I was his surface girl. The pretty one that had good grades, fetched him water at practice, helped him study, and the only one he took home to see his parents, because truthfully? If his parents met the girls who slept with their son every weekend, they wouldn't pay for his full tuition to college. Those girls worked below the surface.
2. I wasn't the perfect girlfriend either. There was a guy out there who actually cared about me, but he would never openly admit that. He and I kept it secret, and honestly, I liked it that way.
But how can you tell people that? Oh that's right, you can't. No matter what you say, people will always take it the wrong way.I feel like that's something today's society takes advantage of way too much; it makes innocent people look bad, and the not so great people seem innocent. You could never win... And that's what I would think about late at night when everyone else was in bed; how I could never make everyone happy.

The Street Fighter *Original Version*
BEWARE, this is the very bad version I wrote when I was 15 years old but I did rewrite it now that I'm 20 and I promise that one makes much more sense! New version is called At All Costs you can find it on my profile! What I see in the mirror is nothing special. I see a girl with dark brown almost black hair, with brown eyes that have been dull for years. I sigh and raise my shirt so I can see the bruises from my opponent last night. If you haven't guessed yet I am a street fighter and a good one at that. I fight in a place called The Underground where my manager Smith sets up my fights. Although I'm only 5'3, I still only fight with men. For me that means more money that I win. Did I mention I am undefeated at The Underground? No, well I am and almost everyone places their bets on me. Or should I say placed because me and my family are moving across the country to New York which means I have to find a new place to fight and make money. That was really my only problem with moving because I don't have any friends here, it's not like people haven't tried I just don't like getting to close to people. Although my family still doesn't know about my street fighting, we still are very close after what happened with my father. They left but I know they will come back and finish what they started and that's why I started street fighting. I need to be able to protect me and my family when they do come back. I'm not letting my family get hurt this time.Complete
Catastrophically Carla (Lesbian Story)
Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.Complete
Bad Boys
{COMPLETED} Kyle was just Kyle. No last name, no family, no past. It was simple that way. Or at least it was easier than being Daniel, who cared too much to be anything but a coward. Kyle got decent cash from his side job, flunked classes on purpose, and had unlimited access to all the booze and drugs he could ask for. Was he a horrible person? Yes. Did he deserve to get busted? Definitely. Did he hate himself for it? Absolutely. But none of that mattered. Girls made for decent enough distractions as long as he drank himself to oblivion beforehand. And that was his plan. Go to the party, get shitfaced, get laid. Simple, just like Kyle. But he never anticipated a certain blue-eyed ghost to sit next to him and talk (flirting he could handle, talking was a different story, uncharted territory). And when the cops showed, he didn't think twice about hauling his ass up and booking it. The blue-eyed ghost was the idiot who stayed in the grass and let the cops slap cuffs on her. So it wasn't really his fault, but then again it was. And maybe that's why he said yes to her crazy, illegal proposal. Or maybe he just missed living. #1 in brokenpast #1 in fosterkid #14 in badboys #18 in bucketlist "It's something very different.

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

IF I FALL - #Wattys2016
*****WATTYS2016***** It all started with a lie. I was just his fake girlfriend... yet, I got caught in my own game.

That loaded kid who never had to work to get whatever he wanted was definitely up to no good... but something else was hidden, deeper inside him. Something I couldn't escape...Complete
