Trust?
Easton King has had a hard life. His parents abandoned him as a toddler and he's been from home to home for as long as he can remember. Nobody seems to want him, they just keep him for a little and eventually they all throw him away to be somebody else's problem. Because of this, he has never been close to anyone. He's learned from a young age that he can't trust anybody to stick with him. Don't get me wrong, he still has friends. In fact, Easton is one of the most popular boys in school. No one knows about his home life because he never talks about it and never hangs out with people outside of school. Derek Danvers (his friends jokingly call him DeeDee) has had a better life. He lives with his family and they are loving and decently forgiving like most parents are. He has suffered from depression and anxiety but not nearly as severely as Easton. He lives his life one day at a time and he doesn't depend on his friends but he trusts that they'll stay by his side, and if they don't then it's for the best. They didn't deserve him. Everyone in the school knows Easton puts up walls. No one gets within two or three feet of him, no one asks about his home life, and no one asks if they can go to his house or if he can go to theirs. He has rules everyone knows. What happens when someone finally tries to push the rules? To build up the trust one once lost? Read to find out **EditedComplete

He had plenty of friends at school, he got semi good grades in his classes, he played sports, his parents were proud of him, he always got everything he ever needed or wanted without having to work for it. People envied him for how easy his life was and he had a number of girls crushing on him even claiming they slept with him. It seemed like nothing could go wrong for him or so he thought. All it took was one horrible event to take place at a party to change his whole life forever. Everyone he once called friends turned their backs on him as soon as they heard the news.

Best Friends (Complete)
"Sam!!!! Sam!! Don't do it!!" I heard a deep voice saying as I was standing at the edge of the highest building in town. I was crying. "Sam! You don't have to do this!" The voice said "You don't have to go this far! How about us?! Your friends? Your family?" I was going to pass out from crying. And if I pass out, of course I'm going to fall! I'm on the edge of the building! Then I feel dizzy and my eyes got blurry. When I was about to fall, someone pulled me. I didn't see who was it but I could feel that it was hugging me and sat down. Then it let go when I heard four girls and two guys coming and they were worried. It was a familliar voice. It is someone's voice that I've known for long. Then I could hear them crying and the sound of the ambulance. I can't see anything but I can hear and feel everything. "Sam, please stay. You've been there for everytime I'm sad and I'm sorry," the deep voice said "I'm sorry for everything but please stay! Please!!," I could feel that it was holding my hands. I could feel that it was shaking and it was cold. And I xould hear him crying. I remembered holding this hand but I'm not sure who it was. You may ask if how did I happen to end up on the edge of the building? Let me take you back from the past and where it all startedComplete

asphyxiate
"Drowning is not the worst part. Lacking the courage to breathe is." No one saw her struggle. No one saw her scars. No one saw her bleeding. No one saw her tears. No one saw her depression. They never realized the deep waters she swam. If only someone would. What if someone did?

Elephant Shoe [BXB] [SAMPLE]
If his sixteen years experience has taught Mikey Alston only one thing, it's this: Life is too damn cruel to face alone... The ice took our car off the road. The tree wrecked it. Tate and I didn't make it out unscathed. My parents didn't make it out alive... I was eleven, and that's the day my whole world was ripped away from me. My brother, David, was twenty-one. All the family I had left, I needed him. He didn't need me. David sent me away. Packed me off far across the country from my hometown in Devon - from Tate and everything I'd ever known, to live with grandparents I'd never known. Six years is a long time. But now I'm back. (Not through choice. Not mine, anyway). And Tate's still here. Only... he's not the boy I left behind. He won't speak to me. Won't speak to anyone. The one upshot of my return to a life I no longer fit and he's letting me down spectacularly. Well, Tate, here's the thing: I'm not giving up on you. I'm not everybody else. You can't shut me out. You need me - we need each other. And we will be friends again. Best friends. I'm decided. It's decided.Complete
