Maybe she can gradually create a life that's worth fighting for.
Isn't that what we all want?
'''
Tinsley Payne just wants to fit in.
In fact, that's all she's ever wanted.
Her entire life has been one chaotic storm after another, slowly and scarily destroying anything in its path.
Happiness has been pretty hard to come by, though Tinsley insists that it's out there.
How can a girl be so optimistic in a life full of let downs?
Is she only fooling herself to believe that even the most damaged people, ultimately receive happy endings?
I suppose time will tell... after all, she's got plenty of that on her hands.

MARCELLA
In the quiet corners of a small town, Marcella lives with a fire she never asked for. Born with a name that means goddess of war, she has spent her entire life trying-and failing-to tame the rage that burns inside her. Her anger isn't loud all the time, but it's always there, just beneath the surface, waiting to erupt. Because of it, friendships have faded, trust has cracked, and peace feels like something made for other people. Now twenty-three, Marcella wakes each morning hoping to feel normal. Hoping not to snap. But even on the calmest days, something always finds a way to go wrong. She's tired of hurting the people she loves-especially the two boys who've stood by her through every meltdown and mess. They see the girl behind the fire, even when she doesn't. This is Marcella's story ,raw, unfiltered, and painfully human. It's about learning to face the past, to accept help, and to believe just maybe that she's more than the anger she's carried for so long. Marcella is a heartbreaking and inspiring journey of self-discovery, emotional survival, and the power of love that chooses to stay.Complete![My Life: Feeling of Love [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/350935235-256-k53352.jpg)

Trust Me On This (Liam Payne)
(Completed) Avery was 'that' girl. The one that no one really noticed, or cared to. Her life was spent on the sidelines, just watching everything go by. She didn't live, she existed. Everything changes when she meets Liam Payne, the celebrity. At first glance he's infatuated with her. As fate brings them closer together, she starts to come out of her shell. For the first time in a while, Avery's happy. Not simply persisting, not only qualified to be a human only because she breathes. She's happy. And so is he. But when a ghost from Avery's past comes back to haunt her, everything changes. To get through it, Avery has to learn to do the thing she fears most in the world. She has to learn to trust. I own everything. Don't be the asshole that takes my story, no one likes that. All my characters are fictional. I don't know 1d (and you probably don't either) so nothing in this should be taken literally. Although if it is sort of close to their real personalities that'd be fucking awesome, I mean Liam should totally read Game of Thrones.

The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
