Dear Reader,
My name is Madison Galbreath. Most people call me "Mattie". This book is the story of my life. Don't worry, I didn't leave anything out. I was diagnosed with Leukemia a month after my 16th birthday and at that moment I felt as if I would disappear into oblivion. I planned everything I would do before I would die, and expected it to come. I sat there waiting for it to happen.
But before I reached the age of seventeen, I was cured. I don't exactly know how or why but I know it was for a reason, and I'm going to find out.
I want you to read this because this because I want my life to have some sort of meaning. I want to impact others lives with my own life experiences. I want to prove to people that sometimes doing the wrong thing is the right thing. Even if that wrong thing is becoming best friends with a stranger you met on a train, or dancing on the roof of your high school or kissing someone you shouldn't. Tour with a band you've never heard of. Go out and do something with your life.
If you fear making mistakes, then why are you living? Mistakes are what you live for. If you don't make mistakes, then how are you supposed to learn from them?
I want to know that I was saved for a reason. I want to make a difference. That's why I am writing to you and that's why you should read this.
No matter how much you think the world is against you, it's actually trying to teach you something.
Believe me I know.
Best Regards,
Mattie

Lost
Sometimes, I'm not always sure what to do. I feel like I'm always wrong, like I'm never good enough. I'm invisible and it's as if I don't exist. If I really didn't exist, I don't think anyone would care. I'm all alone in this great big world, I'm lost. Maddie has never been good enough for anyone. Her perfect sister, Megan, always manages to outshine her. Her father never pays attention to her, because he's always worried about Megan. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Maddie goes to group therapy, where she shares her feelings. Every week it's the same thing, until Maddie gets a new lab partner: Zach Williams, every girl's dream date. WARNING: I wrote this book when I was really, really young. It is very poorly written and has a TON of grammatical errors. I'm working on editing/rewriting this.Complete
Stockholm Syndrome//H.S
As I leave, the cold British wind greets me. I zip up my sweater, and start walking home. Thanks to my parents, I don't have a car. "You're too irresponsible for a car, Courtney. You can always save up for one once you leave this house," my father had scoffed when I asked him. I walk at a fast pace, hoping to avoid any random strangers lurking in the dark streets. "Hey, darling. What are you doing all alone in the dark?" I hear a voice ask. I pick up his deep, British accent. I ignore him, and start jogging. Just a few more streets... I hear his swift feet, and he grabs me from behind, pressing a wet cloth on my face. He drags me behind a building. My muffled screams are the only noise in the silent night. I try to break from his strong, yet careful hold. I wiggle under his grip, but he only lets out a sigh. "Shhhhh...don't scream...everything will be alright...shhhh..." he whispers. I feel warm tears slide down my face, and my eyesight blurs, and I stop screaming and escaping. The last thing I see are the swaying trees. Then... DARKNESS... ✯✯✯✯✯ 19-year-old Courtney Thompson hates her life. From her annoying stepmother, to her overprotective father. The only thing that keeps her alive is her brother and reading.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

You will do anything for me.
"Sing something for me, Brookie." little Harry says. I shoot my head up from the ground at Harry. "What?" "Sing something, I've never heard you sing before." he says, tilting his head to the side. He's wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of a football on, blue shorts and football boots. He looks adorable. "But I can't sing..." I say quietly, looking down at my little pink jelly sandals. "Of course you can, everyone can sing!" he says, tugging on my dress. "Not me," I say, shaking my head. Harry scoots closer to me and lifts up my chin with his finger. "Please? For me?" he says, his eminent green eyes gaze deeply into mine and I really can't refuse. I take a deep breath before looking out at the lake and singing my favourite song in the world. 10 years later, 16 year old dimpled cheek and curly haired Harry and pretty, witty 15 year old Brooklyn are anything but prepared for the future ahead of them.

Will Harry really do anything to make Brooklyn happy once again? You will do anything for me. Written by Faye.Complete
Summer Fee; Sick in Love
"You never answered the question. What's one thing you want more than anything?" He asks, pressing the elevator button. "I want..." my mind is thrown into a whirlwind of thoughts. I want so much; more than he knows. I run my hands through my hair, "I don't really know what I want. It's not like it matters." He moves and stands in front of me. I look at him as he continues to watch me, "What do you want?" "You," I mutter. Always you. ==================== Allyson Scott has had her fair share of struggles. Just like the cliche line, she wasn't a normal girl. She didn't even know what a first grade classroom looked like. She only knew what was inside the walls of the hospital. Since the day she was diagnosed, she was known as "The Girl with Cancer." Dylan Smith was a regular teenage guy. He drove a Jeep, played on the baseball team, and hung out with the guys every other weekend. He knew everybody that went to his school. So the minute he met Ally, he knew she was different. But didn't know why. Their story is one for the books. The many different things that could and do happen make the story oh so incredible. Enjoy reading the first installement of Summer Fee; Sick in Love.Complete
