"Getting out of the dark is good. But too much light, can burn you."

Roxanne has always been the dark girl. She got bullied, never dared to lift her eyes off the ground, and she was the one who never had a friend. Forbidden from almost everything, she barely knew anything about the world outside her classes and home. That was until the most unexpected boy decides to change all of this. But how will he do it? and does he even understand? She'll find herself torn, wanting to take the risk of breaking the rules that had tied her down for more than a decade. But will she let her fears take over? Or will she finally meet the light?

22 parts Complete Mature
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

"Fuck, Roxy...." Leo whispers out breathily and I let out a plead as once again the beautiful colors of orange and blue from the sunset spill over our skin. "Please don't..." I plead and he grabs onto my hands, intertwining our fingers. "I'm not gonna spend my senior year making you think that I never wanted this, Roxy. I do, and I just want you to know that." He says and I swallow. :; Leo "Jace" McClure is what you think of when you think of a popular senior jock. Everyone in the whole school knows him, the guy who has probably slept with all of the girls at the school, except for his sister's best friend Roxanne Rosinchy. But having Roxanne as his little sisters best friend and his family's prized possession comes with its problems when every time he looks at her he knows he's running out of time to tell her the truth, but also he doesn't know what the truth he has to tell her is... Roxanne "Rox/Roxy" Rosinchy has been friends with Rose since they were five, their families being pretty close. She had a perfect life before her father died two years ago. She's still sweet, she's "amazing and beautiful" as Leo would say. Roxy and Leo have been close, what you would expect when your families have known each other this long, but its hard when the one person you've ever been attracted to is one you're not supposed to love. Read ROXY to figure out what happens between Leo and Roxanne.. and what doesn't happen with the factors playing against them ;) Cover by @bitteur :; #1 in Deaddad :; April 27, 2020 #5 in Bestfriendsbrother :; May 30, 2020 #1 in Roxanne :; February 26, 2021 #37 in teendrama :; March 23, 2021
His Sweet Lies by moonprince87
18 parts Complete Mature
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
