Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

Memory of ME
No matter how absurd this story may seem, please remember that it is TRUE. It happened in real life. The fatal accident, not made up; the girl who had to ingratiate others to fit in, not made up; the rich, narcissistic girl who demanded compliment every day, not made up; the hostile girl who suffered through unimaginable pain, not made up. It looks fake, yes, but coincidence did bring these girls together, and Ella Cass, the author, is one of them. Which one of the girls? I'll leave you to guess. A note from Ella Cass: 'If I haven't had that instant where I narrowly avoided death, I would've got buried in the dark until everyone who has ever had any memory of me die off and it would be as if I've never existed. So, this accident, in some way, inspired me to write my experiences down, on the sole purpose of letting my memory live after my death that may occur tomorrow or decades down the road.'Complete

The Game of Hearts
Credit to @Hey-Angel21 and my friend Lola who each helped me write some of it! Check out @Hey-Angel21 's stories and Lola's Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/lolahavens/ Blurb: Odd things happen, odd things have always happened. Some get captured on tape, some people tell them as stories that get passed down for years. Some odd things remain silent, floating between the people it happened to, untold and unshared. Some remain untold because they have been forgotten, left behind or replaced. While others are pushed away because of embarrassment or fear. And some don't wish to be shared. This one story is not just one odd thing, it's so many odd things, all rolled into one odd occurrence. Of one girl, one friend, one cousin, one group of prestigious girls, a secret and several suspects. Annabel never expected it to go so out of control, but how can she stop it, except pushing it away, forgetting it and lying to get it all out of her life? Annabel moves on, hoping to never think of it again. But this odd occurrence is determined not to be forgotten and once again forces itself into her life. She must lie left and right to avoid it. But is that what she really wants?Complete
twisted beautiful things
The leaves hadn't even turned brown before the first suicide of the year. At St. Briar's University, the stakes are so high that at least one suicide is expected. In a world full of privilege and royalty, poison and snakes, students are expected to remain as close to perfect as possible-or else. One particular suicide sets off a chain reaction of ghostly events in the students' lives, forcing the students to choose between love and survival. Ugly secrets are uncovered and pretty lies are told, weaving a story in which everyone only cares about image, perfection, money, the social hierarchy, and status. Smile and you will be rewarded, lie and you will be praised. the car a person drives, the clothes they wear, the way they speak, act and breathe determines their worth in society-and everyone wants to be worth more than anybody else. >>> ""Somewhere along the long twisted road we fell off the path and spiraled into beautiful madness.."Complete
Half of My Heart ✔️
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.
