The sounds overwhelm me and I don't know what to do. I watch as the people swarm around me talking, but I can't hear them. I am watching the screen. I see myself in the recording, but what I see is not what I remember. I look at the woman with hope in her eyes.
"That's not me." I state matter-of-factly, but I can't even convince myself. I see myself and I know that it's me, but it didn't happen. I see the hope drain from the woman's eyes.
"Come on Laney, don't you remember?" A tall blonde boy asks me with desperation evident in his voice.
"I'm sorry, but um, that's not what happened. And my name is not Laney." I look down, not wanting to see the pain in his eyes. He seemed familiar, it was hard to hurt him, but there was nothing I could do. They had the wrong girl. The doctor ushers them out of the room again and I hear her whisper to them as they leave,
"We can try again tomorrow." Then I am left once again in the white room with nothing, no one. Again, I am alone, and that is how I like it. I sigh as I walk back to my white bed, and close my eyes, prepared for another night of restless sleep.

Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape.

"Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.Complete
Hormonotherapy
Heather's life is the perfect definition of messy, though she carries more than she seems. Plus, having an unlivable sister such as Alana - who by the way has a crush on Eliott, life has no plans to be fair anytime soon. Eliott is that one hot, cute and handsome guy girls can't stop thinking about who somehow manages to get under Heather's skin every single chance he gets, despite Alana's existence. And though they've known each other since kindergarten, they spend most of their time arguing over nonsense. And now, as if sharing the same high school wasn't already enough, they are coworkers at a small coffee shop. Then comes a night. One unlucky night. When Eliott had the brilliant idea to crash his lips on Heather's during a lame game called 'Truth or Dare' at no one else but Alana's birthday. And that's when things start getting spicier - even dangerously complicated. .... "I really should go, now," I say as if something else - or rather someone, was holding me in this car. "Yeah," he mutters. "It's late. Eve will sue you if you don't show up in time." "Oh - so you're not...like...going to ask me to stay longer?" "Is that what you're waiting from me?" "No - yeah, but I mean...that's kind of your thing. You know...getting under my skin," I mutter. His hands tighten on the steering wheel and he stares back straight ahead. "The thought crossed my mind," he just let go smoothly. As if these words didn't cost anything to me. As if it didn't cost my sanity. "But if I let it win..." his voice goes low, rough, deep and honest. "I might not stop myself this time. And I fear that even this car wouldn't be enough to hold me." Then he turns to look at me again, his hands still unmoving. "If I ask you to stay, I won't take you home. Not even back to my place. I'll take you right here, in this car, on your seat or in the backseat if required. And I'll make sure to make you feel everything I feel right right now."

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD
He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.Complete
