How difficult it is to actually know who you are? To tell the difference between the real you and the way the world gradually shaped a shell around you that all the people see? And what if the shell suddenly disappeared and you were left with only the raw core of your being, no memories, no messed up beliefs, no sense of your past hunting your every action?
... And what if your past starts catching up to you, revealing all the filth your mind used to bathe in - what then?
This story centres around a post-head injury Jim navigating his way through dangerous friendships, unexpected explosions and the mess that is his mind. (And hatred for yellow, can't forget Jim's hatred for yellow.)

A little bit...less ordinary!?
One moment, I was just another nobody in a car accident. The next, I woke up in a hospital bed...hearing voices. Not the creepy kind. Not hallucinations. Real voices. Thoughts that didn't belong to me. Turns out, I can hear what people are thinking. Yeah-mind reading. Telepathy. Whatever you want to call it. Suddenly, boring, average me wasn't so ordinary anymore. High school drama? Easy. Crushes? Complicated. Secrets? Way too many. High school isn't about fitting in-it's about staying sane. Because the more I listen, the more I realize... some minds aren't meant to be heard. And the voices? They aren't the only thing following me. Powers like this? They come with a price. And I'm starting to think the voices in my head aren't the worst part. Something darker is coming. And time might be the only thing that reveals what I've really woken up to.

If Only You Knew
"Why can't you just tell me what's wrong" he whispered, getting quieter than before and cupped my face in his hands. With every passing day we grow closer and closer. I feel like I'm leading him on but how could I just tell him? It's not that simple to just share my secret. I can't. Not to him, not to anyone. ** Bianca, the quietest girl in the class yet probably the nicest. The most afraid yet the most brave. The girl that is continuously served with things, that she could never in a million years deserve. Cameron, in her eyes, he's the most amazing guy ever. Cute smile, a freckled face and dimples, he had everything that she'd want in a guy. Of course that's just because it was he who had those qualities in the first place. He's been her only crush for quite some time, but he hasn't ever shown the slightest interest in her until now. When she was being continuously punched on the ground, he'd just stood there with his so-called girlfriend; laughing, because he had a 'reputation to uphold'. It didn't matter though, because she loved it when he laughed. Now they are chosen to work on a project together, in the process he learns more about her and becomes somewhat attracted to her. Could the last person on this earth you'd ever expect to, ironically fall deeply in love with Bianca? What's going to happen if he finds out about her big secret? And his supposed girlfriend? Maybe, just maybe he can become the cure that she's always needed.Complete
