- - - > He was like poison, slowly seeping into my skin, drowning all of me in something numbing, something frightening. He peered at me with his half empty hazel eyes and I wondered what he saw as he leaned forward and locked his lips to mine, breathing me in.
Did he see something more in me like I did in him?
Or was I merely a blank piece of paper, waiting for him to just leave a ink mark tattoo upon my soul? <- - -

Scarred Beauty [Completed]
Normal isn't a term Olivia Hernandez is familiar with. Her mother is dead to an abnormal disease, leaving her wallowing in scattered memories. Her father is abusive and never sober, leaving her treading through glass shards of beer bottles. There's too many unclear secrets her family has, and so she can only act as if that's "normal". Her eyes are bright, and yet, her skin is littered in scars. Olivia meets Alex James, the son of her mother's best friend. And where do they meet? A graveyard. How oddly compelling. When the two find each other at her mother's grave, Olivia can't help but feel close to him, even with his harsh and yet somewhat caring atmosphere. Not only are his pretty bluebell eyes alarmingly alluring, but the memories he brings back to her are even more appealing. They had a hidden past, tied together by Olivia's deceased mother and toxic father. They had a hazy future, tied together by Alex's bastard of a father and Olivia's childhood nemesis. This was their reality. A reality for a boy with the prettiest bluebell eyes and a girl who would forever be a scarred beauty. ~~~ "You told me that you loved me," I said quietly as we walked across the golden fields, out of the nightmare of a territory. I peered at him to see his eyes half-closed, as if he was fighting and struggling to keep them open. "You told me to trust you." His blue eyes glanced at me for a moment before falling back to the ground. The sun began rising behind us as we continued on our path, shining rays of gold and orange light on us. I sniffled and smiled lightly, but it was without humor. "But I don't know if I can keep this up anymore..." [ DISCLAIMER: This concept was developed during my middle school years. The plot may be seriously underdeveloped, so unless you aren't looking to read a picture-perfect book, you're not where you should be. ]Complete
Dear Scott
"Growing up around fairytales, Disney princesses and teen films, we are raised to believe that happy endings are always in store for us. But more often than not, reality sinks in, and the happy ending doesn't occur. Especially in high school. The main reason I liked this book so much was because it was so real. It was a love that was destined to crumble from the start, and yet, you kept pushing your luck. We've all been there. The late night texts from your crush waking you up to talk about nothing, the unexpected butterflies when you see him, the gross flaws he possess that you don't seem to notice, or the small things he does that turn you on. Most importantly, we learn that love truly is blind. We're unobservant to the world around us when our teenage love obsession is staring down at us with those big, brown, adorable eyes of theirs. And then when we wake up from this dream-like state that is a first love, we realize that he's not this perfect, older, mature man... but this boy."Complete
Once Again
Sarah and Rhys are childhood friends who throughout life discover love, loss, and each other once again. **Mature Content** Excerpt: "I'd say you know why, but I think you need to hear it." He leans forward, steeling his eyes, daring mine to look at him "For...being a shitty friend. For not picking up a phone. For everything." I chew on my bottom lip holding back the emotional words I want to unleash on him. I don't want him to think he still has that power though so I just shrug. "Why now? I mean I think I have an idea but I'd rather you tell me." He runs a hand over his face wiping at the tension that now etches it and I feel a twinge of guilt. "I know how it looks...And you're right, ok? Whatever you're thinking is probably right, at least partially." "Then tell me what's partially right and what's not." I challenge looking him in the eye this time. He opens his mouth and then closes it. Unlike me, he seems to not have rehearsed any of this. Go figure. "I know I hurt you. It was a dick move and I was immature and...only thinking about my own feelings. I know this. By the time I realized it though...it was kind of too late..."Complete

NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM.

My Treasured Blossom [Classic Yandere Boy x Female Reader]
"You are my treasure, my reason for living, and more important than my left kidney." . . . [Classic Yandere Boy x Female Reader] Y/N is a normal high school girl. Completely normal. Her social life, studying habits, and the number of grains in her cereal bowl each morning couldn't be more average. She has no unique character traits and is more vanilla than cheap vanilla ice cream with vanilla extract on top. She makes a plain rice cake seem flavorful, but she was somehow able to get a yandere stalker to fall madly in love with her, (the jury is still out on how that happened, but they think that errors in judgment were involved and possibly psychedelic drugs.) Y/N and her friends try to discover the identity of Y/N's 'secret admirer' who keeps leaving her anonymous love notes and murdering other students every Tuesday and bi-annual national holiday. There is that one guy who literally follows Y/N everywhere at school like a lost duckling with flushed cheeks, sparkly eyes, and drool dripping off his chin, but Y/N never notices him. Why you ask? Oh, it's simple. It's because she's Y/N in a Yandere x Reader novel, and she is more oblivious than a box of rocks encased in concrete. Will Y/N discover the identity of her yandere stalker before everyone else at her high school 'mysteriously disappears'? (Of course not, she's Y/N.) Will the Yandere ever get Y/N to love him? (Not if he finds it easier to murder her friends and family than to just walk up to her and say hi.) And how is this school still open after all the fatal accidents that have occurred on campus? (The question that we all want to be answered.) ⚠WARNING⚠ even though this book is a satire, there will be a few mature themes in it including (but not limited to): -swearing -violence -mental illness -suicide -murder -manipulation -obsession -gore -and tsunderes Reader discretion is advised.Complete
