Hope by jessicamay672

Kate was used to dealing with unfair consequences. Having a less than ideal home life and no one else to support her, she had learned to deal with things on her own. She had learned not to feel and especially not to hope. So when someone new comes into her life Kate does the best thing she can think of, she shuts them out. But, after a series of events in the course of one day, they are thrown back together, and Kate is given the chance to explain herself. Explain why she was so guarded and why she had closed herself off in the first place. And maybe along the way Kate learns that things aren't always so bad. That feeling and hoping aren't the worst things in the world. ***Warning: Mention of abuse is included in this story. Please don't read if that is a trigger for you in any way. Hope you enjoy the story. Feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions, I'm open to whatever.

When her circumstances change, can she be freed from her broken mind and will she accept the unwelcome emotions that sneak up on her. ***MATURE READERS ONLY, 18+ ABUSE *** - an early attempt at writing, needs editing/re-writing but others I'm focused on

Testing The Waters by JaylynnWadsworth

I'm not saying I hate Alexander Jameson. After all, I have Jesus in my heart like the good southern girl I am. But if I did hate anyone? Alex would definitely make the cut. I have one, singular move in this never-ending game of torment he forces me to play. I avoid Alex with every fiber of my being. The less I have to see of his beautiful (ahem, I mean stupid) face, the better. It's not just a coincidence that we haven't had a single class together since 7th grade. It's entirely by my design-an agenda of self-preservation, if you will. But fate must have other plans when the place I volunteer at unknowingly assigns me to mentor Alex's little sister. Now that avoiding Alex is no longer an option, I quickly find myself in dangerous waters with him. Sink or swim, I'm not going down without a fight.

If you just look for it. Jasmine Winters the new girl with a giant secret does she have what it takes to show the world that if you have the amount of faith the size of a mustard seed, and really believe it then you can move mountains or will she give in to her terrible struggles and loose more than just her freedom.....her life? *** Okay so a few notes. One all of these characters are fictional, and their situations are completely FICTIONAL..... Two and this is a spoiler alert there will be chapters that contain abuse in them that is why I have given this story a mature rating. I do not in anyway support or encourage any form of abuse......Lastly this is my first story and due to my crazy schedule I am slow to update. If you like it, hate it, love it, or have any type of criticism I would love to hear from you. Sincerely yours SilverInk.

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy!

"Only when it comes to their mates." Sophia Carter Adams. AKA Carter She doesn't care what anyone has to say, she just wants to have fun and live her life, which means causing as much trouble as possible. When her dad can't take her behavior anymore, he sends her away in hopes of her loosing her rebel behavior. Carter has no plans of changing her lifestyle, and maybe things would have went her way, if it weren't for him. Asher Graham Davis. (It's not edited and probably has a lot of mistakes. There's also a lot of cussing...so beware.)

Fearless Love by thegryffindorproject

Her mom died giving birth to her and her dad died serving his country when she was only 12.

It was not long before her aunt disappeared, leaving her with an abusive and alcoholic guardian and his son, who seems to be getting more dangerous by the day. Will she be able to survive until graduation and escape to the college and life of her dreams? Will she ever find find out why the rest of her family abandoned her?
