My name is Ivory Parker, I’m sixteen years old and I can honestly say that I know what a broken heart feels like. It is the loneliest and most desperate feeling like nothing you’ll ever experience before. It is not being able to stop crying and knowing that even when you do stop, the pain of loss is still there and that nothing has changed. It is wishing you were anywhere but where you are and anyone but whom you are. It is disbelief that you could go from happy and secure too alone and left behind in a second. It is confusion and a head full of questions but no-one to answer them truthfully. It is all those plans and dreams made, gone. It is indescribably appalling and no amount of kind words can lift you out of your grief. It is the inevitability of it all and the fact that you have no say. It is having to carry on working, doing the day to day essential chores and feeling totally separated from your life. It is exhausting and it will take the time it takes for you to recover and be strong enough to trust and take a chance on someone else again.
In simpler words?
It’s life changing.

A Self-love Story
Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.Complete
Until You (A Theo James Fanfic)
I don't know how to describe the feeling. It's a little complicated. Everything came crashing down like a ton of bricks. Like a rug was ripped out from under my feet and then in a split second.. I was all alone. Of course I have Riley, and she's my whole life. All I have ever done is to protect her from the world that has turned my heart stone cold. And although Riley makes my life brighter everyday, I knew I was missing something, but I just didn't know what it was. Until him.Complete

Until he ran into her on the first day of high school. {Edited}Complete

Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete
This is My Life
I've been very depressed and heartbroken so, what better than to create a story out of it? "This is my life" details a protagonist going through her teenage years up until the age of 21. Through love, friendship, grief, and heartbreak, you will get to witness what it's like being a young black girl trying to conquer the world. I hope anyone going through either heartbreak, grief, insecurities, mental health declines are able to read this and know that they're not alone! Life can be so ugly at times, but I promise things always get better. Not your typical romance or teen fiction book! My real life experience with fiction added :) Returning from my six year hiatus with a new book....my bad.Complete
•Annabelle•
My name is Jason, I am a 17 year old senior, and my life ended on March 3rd, 2015, when my best friend Annabelle, the love of my life died. No, my life didn't actually end, but sometimes it feels like it did, and I wish it had. The only thing I do now in life is sit on my porch staring at the empty, lifeless house across the street; wishing I would wake up from this nightmare. All I can do it sit there, and think about what I've done, and what I could've done different, but never will be able to fix it. Sometimes I just want to lay down and forget about life, pretend like I'm not here, and never been. But its torture to close my eyes, and to fall asleep. I see her, I see her dying in my arms, taking her last breath; the touch of her lips and her hand turning cold. If only she hadn't met a monster like me, if only I hadn't fallen in her life. It was that one day, that one evening that changed everything that made me regret my whole life. •'*•.¸(*•.¸♡¸.•*')¸.• *'•, ♡ ♡« ᎪᏌᎢᎻᎾᎡ'Ꮪ NᎾᎢᎬ »♡ ♡ '•.¸.•*(¸.•*'♡'*•.¸)*•.¸.•' Anytime you hear the name Annie they are referring to Annabelle. Also, I know that there is some strange horror movie with this title... It has absolutely no ties to my book. I just like the name XDComplete
