She once believed that if you're a good person you get to live a full life, and maybe part of her still believed that. Well, that was until she found out she has a brain tumor. Her life changes in more ways then she can count. But some things that change she never saw happening like the new presence in her what she thought nonexistent love life. Hayden Hall is a boy shes known since they were kids seeing as he's her brothers best friend. They act like they cannot stand each other, but they're also each others favorite pain in their asses. But somehow things change between them in a blink of an eye. Except how can she fall for someone when she knows she doesn't have long left? How can she ever expect to be happy or to be there for a person when she knows she's dying? And what happens when her life gets cut even shorter when she finds out she's pregnant with his child? In the end of a heart wrenching, and captivating story only one thing is known for sure. No matter where she is in this lifetime, at-least he still has the beautiful parts she leaves behind.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited) by janeisderranged

This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!
