"We are all born mad. Some remain so."
Samuel Beckett

Lee's life was once normal. He had successful parents, lived in a suburban neighbourhood, and enjoyed living life without having to think too much about anything. Now, he is homeless, jobless, and on the run for suspected murder. And the man behind it all? Jaime Cortez.

As Lee struggles to pick up the pieces of what he once was while protecting his best friend at the same time, he is forced to reminisce who Jaime was before things went bad. What do you do when the person you love the most goes dark? Who do you save: yourself, or him?

For Just a Moment by Cecimack0365

What do you do when your smart, handsome, well-liked step brother and two of his friends force you to have sex with them in your own bedroom? Do you tell? And what if no one believes you? Or worse yet, what if the adults and even the friends that you count on think that it's somehow your fault? Sixteen-year-old Molly Kerrigan has a horrible secret, one so painful that she tries her hardest to forget it. Starting over at a new school, she does all she can to remain anonymous. But a well-meaning social worker hoping to help Molly come to terms with her troubled past, forces her to participate in an every-other-day lunch group. It is here that she meets Ali, who is figuring out her own sexuality, Trinity, so neglected at home that she seeks solace in the arms of older men, Rubi, a Mexican immigrant with her hands full, between her dying mama and younger, special needs sister, and Layla, the richest, most beautiful, and most manipulative girl in the school. Molly also draws the attention of charming soccer player, Noah Nazarian, after he sees her accidentally defending his freshman brother from bullies on the first day of school. Desperate to be left alone, Molly invents a pretend boyfriend. The only problem is that he ends up being not so pretend, and now Molly finds herself as one half of a fake relationship that is the obsession of the most popular clique at school.
